SG's 2012

Since late last year I've been starting seedlings in waves because of limited space and other constraints. So I have a good number of plants in varying stages of growth, with some trying to flower too. The plants are looking good and I am poised to have some tremendous harvests. Last year I only grew a fraction of the what I am attempting this year and even then I had a hard time keeping up with the harvests. I am sure I will go crazy with all the peppers this year.

Here is the where most of the plants start out:

Focusing on some individuals:
Murupi Amarela

Praetermissum initiating its first fork:

Chacoense:

Fatalii x Choco Bhut F2:

Sonoran Chiltepin:

Here's a pic from 2011 so you can see the orange fruit it produces, the yellow pepper in the pic was a Fatalii:

Awesome SG. Loving the look of your plants! How long has your Overwinter Yellow bhut been back outside? looks to be putting pretty good new growth on!

Thanks Beehunter, it's been outside off an on since March 16. If it gets too cool at night I bring it inside. Tonight for example the low is predicted to be 31°F.

Ha, okay, don't you want to wait until you see the fruit?

I'm a sucker for radial symmetry....

 

[Spicegeist]

Yeah, me too. Here's what the fruit should look like if they grow true (red):

Wow...drooling now...

This is the last variety I started this year, but it seems to be growing just fine, so I'm optimistic about getting some ripe fruit before frost:

Pimenta Morango

Clavo (C. chinense)

Ripening:

Developing fruit:

Plants hardening off on the patio:

I'm only growing 12 of my Fatalii x Choco Bhut F2, I hope one of these will have bright yellow, bumpy looking fruit:

 

[Beehunter]

Looks awesome and like you are having some great weather! Did you overwinter one of the F1 of this plant?

Well I started it in the Fall and got some ripe fruit in time to grow, here are some pics of the F1:

I also have 2 more F1 seedlings I started with the rest that are out on the patio.

Looks like a small inch worm in the bottom of the picture also.

 

[slashroot]

Really depressing to see aphids, hate them! Your other plants are really nice Hope mine will do as good too.

 

[Spicegeist]

Oh it was fine, I just brushed them off and squished them.

Just went through all the pages of this one and you definitely got a great freaking list there! A lot of pretty cool varieties and some interesting crosses. If I read right, did you get those orange pods from the yellow OW bhut? If so, that is pretty freakin cool. I know that there are a few yellow pods that ripen orange when they are super ripe (had some yellow TS that), do yours start yellow and end up orange?

On the Choco and Giant Red Bhuts from TPGM, they are pretty amazing. He sent me them last season (I think I made vids of them) and the Giant red was about 4.5 inches long, and the Choc put me down for the count from stomach pain! EAT A FREAKIN BANANA AND DRINK MILK BEFORE! But I got both of those plants goin this season as well.

Keep the updates comin!
