Here are some of my 2013 treasures.

I was able to start four C. galapagoenses (they didn't all come up on the same date):

Very cool man. I can't even say which ones I like, all those are just awesome.

I stay firm with that tepin X Barrackpore cross tho.

I'll try my luck with crossing this year ( This is my first year BUT I MUST TRY :D)

I'll send you some seed, if you'll be interested in growing them.

It's nice when a cross turns out well, have fun with it... thanks for the offer, but I think after this year I may pass on seeds from my crosses and try to narrow down the list for 2014.

Yes, they're on their way :party:
 
Charles, your mad breeding skillz never cease to amaze me....Aji Cristal x Brain Strain...really?

Thought you might want to see your Bonda x Yellow 7 babies...So very robust—I did my best to kill them with copper fungicide, but they refused to submit:

Damn dude...Tepin x Barrackpore?
Talk about lobbin' a Flash Bang, and casually ignoring it! ;)!
Nice bloom pic as well ...2 thumbs up :woohoo:
Click to expand...

Haha, that is one of my favorite plants, I've also been pollinating it with some pollen from something else, if those seeds grow, they'll be some real mixed up plants.

Yeah, I know what you mean, sometimes I can't believe it either, the plants are healthy and robust. If I get enough pods (I might leave them in tiny pots this year) I can send a few your way to try.

Wow, those are going to be great! Nice job.

I think I need you to grow my plants, your Chiltepin Amarillo plants look great as do all the others. Can't wait to see some of the crosses fruit!

Ha, I will definitely be downsizing next year, but thanks. The Chiltepin Amarillo you sent me is on the top left here, I've had more than one plant do that forked leaf thing:

Top row: Chiltepin Amarillo, Chintexle, Chiltepin Amarillo (different source)
Bottom row: Chiltepin Hermosillo, Chiltepin Armac, Chiltepin Guatemala

 
As always, nice photos of some really interesting peppers, Charles.
If you're a craft brew fan, check out the guys down at Wolf Hills Brewery. They're trying to get some gardening going. I'm gonna maybe get to trade some pepper plants for some growler fills :D. They have live hillbilly music most every night they're open, laid back atmosphere.

+1 on the perlite/squirrel inhibitor. I need to try that for crocus bulbs, I planted a couple of hundred one fall -squirrels ate 'em in less than a week, Not a single bloom.

oh the secrets of breeding... not going to tell Charles then let it be a surprise... :shh:
Click to expand...

Yeah, like having a baby, wait until you're really sure before you start talking about it ;)

windchicken said:
Thanks, yes, that seems like an intriguing cross to me. Can't say why, but I can almost visualize one of its pods...

No matter what you have to figure with a mother like chiltepin x barrackpore it will be interesting...

Thank you Jesse :cheers: , That place sounds nice but I've been so crazy with my work at grad school, I barely have time to open a can of beer at home ! Apparently squirrels like to eat roots in addition to digging around for nuts :rolleyes:

I dunno how you keep everything you got going on straight!!! HolyXcowF2 SpiceXGeistF1! Podding up on the BPTepin...Those will be some killer pods! Can't wait to hear the taste review!

Ha, you get the hang of it. Last year I mislabeled something or put the seeds in the wrong order in the tray and it drove me nuts for so long trying to figure out what is what :banghead:. This year I decided to pay close attention and get everything straight from the start.
