san isidro and lima makt were both grown in full sun and set a ton of pods. The others I would do full shade for june,july,aug. just to be safe. if for some reason the others are dropping a lot of flowers move them into the shade. cheers

Great looking plants, Terry! Really tough looking - thick stems and healthy foliage. They're going to dominate those grow bags in no time!

Thanks. My plants seem bigger and stronger than last year. The only thing I changed was that I used the Espoma to feed them.

Here are a few flower pictures.

     That stuff is gold. Are you using Tomato Tone? I decided to try their chicken manure for part of my grow this year. It has comparable nutrients and it's less than half price.
 
This year I am using Pro-gro by North Country Organics. Last year I used tomato tone and the Pro-gro separately and they both worked out fine for me. The only reason I go with the Pro-gro is that I can buy it in 50lb bags.

I will be interested to see how it compares.

85...wow...we have not seen that here yet. The good thing is that if they can handle that, then they are ready.

plants are looking great!
 
I wish I could grow the pubes here,not in the summer anyways!

I am going to try again.  Last year i got 3 pods that didn't even ripen before they ran out of time.  This year I have some good advice and I hope that will do it for me.  
 
Mine set pods the second year, I kept it under a huge Live Oak tree. An Opossum ate it and a few others and they never recovered. I have 2 seedlings that are hating life and I expect them to pass on, so more seeds to sow ;)
 
TGIF


Plants have been outside since Tuesday morning getting full sun till about 1pm. They all are doing well and with the forecasted overnight lows of 46 for one out of the next 10 days....I might start transplanting some into their permanent homes. I may let some of the smaller, later starts wait another week or two.

If you do grow Pubes again this year, do you have a place to over-winter them? This far north, depending on variety, they sometimes need 2 seasons to get mature enough to produce ripe pods.

Have you thought of using black plastic mulch and using the sun to heat the soil you have your Chiles planted in? It also works well for the other Nightshades, Cucurbits and Okra. I've heard that Okra is an excellent companion planting with Chiles because the roots don't interfere with each other and the Okra provides partial shade for the chiles during the hottest part of the year. Personally, I like companion planting with Basil because it calls in the Friendly insects like Ladybugs and Lacewings to groom the plants for Aphids.

Maybe I will give that a try this year. I decided to put a few plants in the ground.

Yellow Manzano, Rocapica, and PI355812 are out in the elements now.
