tsurrie's 2021 glog

Hey all. First of all, I wish everyone a good grow this season!
Off to another season, almost too late, but still on time
 
Today I started this year's pepper journey, not so big, but it'll keep me warm.
 

 

 

 
So I tried a few from an old stock and some from the latter seasons. Will see what will sprout. I guess the new ones will, no doubt.
The nurseries are stocked way better than a few years back around here, so I guess the chili fever has spread and I can expect some interesting seedlings to pick from later on in the spring, if I have problems with my own.

Good to hear that your access
to all things Chili is looking up!
 
Good luck this season, Uros!

Thank you.

Thank you Paul. They really surprised me last year with the amount of different species. They really upped their game in the last few years. Nice to see some real labels on pots not just "red hot peppers" or "little colorful curly peppers"

We have a winner, Habanero Chocolate.
 

 
I had to sprinkle cinammon on top of soil, have been experiencing some mold appearing I hope that issue won't be a  common problem with this soil.

 

[PaulG]

Alright, off to the races, Uros! And a great 
variety, as well!
 
Mold shouldn't be too much of a problem.
I just scrape it off, and if it doesn't't go
away a little fungicide.

Did some transplanting yesterday evening, 5 pots each variety.
JA Red Habanero, Habanero Chocolate and Aji Umba. Only one variety of Scotch Bonnet MoA sprouted on time, so I only have one pot of this one. Still hoping for some more sprouts.
 
I transplanted more of Kurtovska kapija, because we like and use it a lot, so this one went into 10 pots.
 

 

 
Let's keep fingers crossed they'll grow big and healthy   
 
 
And yes, spring is just around the corner. The nature is waking up.
 

 
We went to check things out on a little hike before lunch...
 

 
I think the wild garlic will start to grow soon in the forest. Just a few weeks and spring is here.

A little update after a while. Been trying for some time (since the middle of may) but the photo server I use was down and I really hate looking for another one.
 
The photos are from previous week / almost two weeks ago....
 
So these were the seedlings I prepared for this season

 

 
Tomatoes are already in the garden and the greenhouse

 
Habanero Chocolate

 
These are Aji Umba and Habanero Chocolate - if I remember it right

 
Some of the other pots

 
The weather is only now getting warmer, so maybe I'll post some photos in a week with the update.
Take care folks!

 

[PaulG]

Feels good to get those potted up, huh, Uros!
 
They all look great, including the tomatoes.
Looking forward to seeing your next update.
Really like the snow-on-the-ground-in-Spring pic!
What are the purple shoots?

Yes it feels good Paul. Now we'll just water them and observe.
 
The purple shoots are Crocus vernus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocus_vernus)
We call it "pomladanski žafran" which stands for "spring saffron", but this one is not to be mistaken for the ones they use for spice, because it's supposed to be poisonous.

Slowly growing, but I have them in pots. Paprika's and tomatoes on the garden are growing rapidly since last week because of the warmer nights. Summer finally!
Will post pictures when I take some.

 

[tsurrie]

These are from two weeks ago and if all goes well, we'll have some heat over here

This upload image is a very nice feature

This upload image is a very nice feature

if it wont cost you a lot of disk space I guess - dont know where or how this site is hosted - but very useful from my point of view
- also in the Glogs section where you have preview of the last posts - it would be better maybe if you viewed the newest post from threads not the first ?

 

[The Hot Pepper]

I had the same thought but it's not possible out of the box, would be custom. Perhaps down the road!

Greetings from the balcony

Looks like plenty of pods will make it, mainly Aji Umba, JA Red Habanero and Chocolate Habanero. Also the last two pots from the first picture are Schotch Bonnet's but with just a few pods each.

Hey, Uros! Good to see that Slovenian grow kicking
into high gear! Some great looking pods coming along.
Especially happy to see the JA Red Habanero pumping
them out for you.

Hey Paul. Always happy to share the good grow news
That balcony really seems to suit the plants - the light reflects from the wall and they are well protected from the heavy rain.

As always, your plants produced high quality seeds and the proof is right here.
Thank you my friend. I hope I'll find the time to use those pods well and then share it with you all.
