 So I guess it is about damn time I started a grow log! Not a whole lot going on at the ranch  :shh:  but hopefully that will change soon. I grow peppers all year around outdoors. I live on the central east coast of Florida. It has many ups and downs but more ups  :fireball: . Bugs such as mites and aphids are always a problem for me. Over the years I am getting better at diagnosing them at a early stage . This Christmas I was lucky enough to have santa bring me an aerogarden and some how managed to make it's nesting place on my kitchen table. I know this is short lived and I will need to find a safer resting spot for it. Here is a pic of my outdoor operation. Most of these plants are between 8 months or older.

 They look very haggard at the present moment. Lack of sunlight and low humidity will do that. But come spring they better bounce back into action.  :dance:
 
 Here is my little indoor operation. It isn't much but keeps me happy and grows peppers super fast. I planted a 7 pot lava( judy) , borg9( tmudder), yaki blue( nigel via standbyandfire), true cumari ( from judy) , defcon 7 ( tmudder), choc naga x brain ( me,via winchicken, via tmudder), and parsley for the boy :)
 
 First to pop was the 7 pot lava. Few days later the defcon 7. Yaki and borg both popped with helmet heads and I managed to kill them trying to remove. I just added a few more seeds in each pouch .

 Stay tuned and keep it green my fellow chili addicts . 
 
Most excellent pod porn Bro-ham! I'm pumped you got the start of pods on your Rocoto!
 
I like the heat of the Butch T. to kick up my powders, but I'm not too happy about its flavor... Could I swap you for some of those Lava seeds later this season?
 
Have a great 4th of July weekend with your tribe!

Things are looking good in Florida Romy!!  Recovering from a colder then normal winter for you would have been a little different ay?    Keep it up bro ... and best of luck for bumper harvests !!
 
 Thanks Tripp, long time no hear . And yes the cold set me back but nothing major . I always have an excuse  ;)

Nice brother. I see the galapa on the corner is growing well. I doubt there are many of them growing in Florida. Your chuncHO looks good. Filling out and setting snackers. What is that purple shaded pepper that looks to be growing on your lava plant?
 
 Brother JB !! I just found the tiniest little pepper on a galap last night . I may need you to fly in to get a proper pic . The purple pepper ( a thing of beauty I must say ) is a Pimenta Lisa from meatfreak '

Fantastic looking plants. I can't imagine what that plant would look like in the ground. Monstrous to say the least. Great pics and pods.

Thanks for sharing.

Ah... don't worry about the dog days of summer bro'... you'll get another swing at it in September. :)
 
Slizarus said:
Will you get larger peppers in the Autumn? Or is your season too short for fall harvests?
 oh yeah. I can grow all year around . I get many harvests through put the year . Just when it is 90 with 85 % humidity :)
 
meatfreak said:
Looking good buddy, only a few months and you will be kicking our asses with killer harvests when our season is over ;)
 
 I sure hope so brothet .
