SKULLBIKERS Fun with peppers in 2021 GLOG

And so it begins, another year of growing some peppers. This will be a sort of continuation of last year
 
http://thehotpepper.com/topic/73129-skullbikers-roaring-into-the-twenties-glog/page-1
 
as several of those plants are still going(and many got whacked and ended up on the burn pile). 
 
Anyway, I have 3 trays of peppers sown and many have germinated already(mostly annums). I wanted to compare several different jalapeños for taste in real time. This tray is all jalapeños, ten types from 7 different vendors. The seeds in block 3 are from 2014.
 

 
Another tray with annums at each end and mostly rocotos in the middle(and they're taking their sweet time).

I made up a list of the jalapenos I have potted up. I think I may have to come up with more recipes to use them and preserve them!

Is that all?
I sourced Zapotec seeds from Baker Creek. I'll be curious to see how my growth will compare to yours. My plant is still small but readying itself for a final growth bag upgrade.

Soon yours will be like these and I should be able to sample mine.

Pretty impressive, 'Biker. I guess you like jalapeños!
 
Your group shot is money!

I've got several peppers now that are getting dangerously close to stuffing stage. 
This Big Bertha may just live up to it's name.

Mammoth Jalapeno with attitude! 
Using it's flipper to flip off anyone that looks at it!

My Sweet Lord Hallelujah!        I took a few pictures of my jalapeños, but I'm going to wait a bit to show them    Nobody wants to see Little Bertha after this

I have another instance where a major seed dealer screwed up packing their seeds. I had found a new pack(unopened) of Biker Billy Jalapeno seeds from Burpee that I had purchased before my move(2018). I planted some of these seeds and now the plants are producing fruit..............just not jalapenos.
They look pretty much like Cherry Bombs, and that's fine as they are in my favorites list plus I had planted some Biker Billys from my saved seed.

This was a plant that looked kind of sickly last fall so it became one that got whacked down to near nothing. As I'm finishing with recycling the soil from last years containers I noticed this one had decent growth. I figure if it can grow with absolutely no maintenance or watering for 5 months it should be worth seeing if it will grow out decent again. Just one little detail, I have no idea what type of pepper plant this is as the tag got pulled when it was whacked. As always, we shall see!

I guess those rocoto flowers from a while back are starting to pay off.

Oh man, that second pic in the above post is
money! I love it when they start podding up
the length of a branch!
 
The node in the upper right corner is absurd.

Just one "like" is  little bit for your posts.

They should look even better when they grow out and ripen up. And they're pretty good tasting stuffed/loaded.

Here's the largest of the Brainstrain plants.
 

 
And the first pod on above plant.
 

 
Here's a Lubber that was on one of the pumpkin leaves. Doesn't look too menacing at 1 1/2 inch long but when they get 5 inces or more they can decimate a large plant in a day.
