Hello all, I'm new here and to "extreme" pepper growing and appreciate all of the great info here, I live in North Alabama so have a some good pepper growing weather, I have grown peppers for about 15 years, just the Bonnie plant garden varieties like jalapeno, cayenne, habanero, serrano, thai and tabasco and after discovering the Bhut Jolokia or "ghost pepper" last year I want to grow them too, I am a hot sauce collector/fanatic and have always been intrigued by the hotter the better. So looking forward to jumping in a sharing what I'm doing which of course pales in comparison to everyone else here but just thought why not?
I have a few plants in the garden already and am close to having some baby peppers, i planted the plants at the end of April, Also I have a couple ornamental plants in containers and have ordered and started some seeds that I know I'm way late on but gonna see what i can do with them this year, I ordered some Naga Morich/Bhut Jolokia can't really find out what the difference in these are though, also I have some Trinidad Scorpions started, these seeds were all started on May 27. Next year I plan on starting way earlier and have a few other varieties I want to try just not sure where to find the seeds but i will try and keep this fairly updated with pics and here is what I have right now.
here's a Bonnie plant cayenne in my small garden, all of these are in native red Alabama soil just using tomato miracle gro biweekly.
I think this one is a Serrano
jalapeno
Can't remember what this one is, i've got to get a get a grasp on labeling
Not sure on this one either
Habanero
Chilly Chili in a pot
Thai hot in a pot
here's my seeds started on May 27, Trinidad Scorpion, naga morich and Bhut jolokia, they are on a heating pad and about 50% have came up in the last couple days.
