Wahlee's 2014

So, as I'm already growing Primo's, I thought I might as well start a new topic
 
It's getting cold and dak and I haven't cleaned up outside yet, cause I can't be bothered gardening in this weather.
 
Anyway, here's my 2014 list. Will sow the rest at the end of november. Maybe one or two varieties will be added, but I think this is pretty much it.
 
1.    7-pod Primo                
2.    Trinidad Scorpion Yellow CARDI
3.    Datil                    
4.    Aribibi Gusanito            
5.    Aji Crystal                
6.    Habanero Mustard    
7.    Habanero Peruvian White        
8.    Habanero Guadalupe            
9.    Papa Joe’s Scotch Bonnet        
10.  Reaper                    
11.  Bhut Jolokia Caramel            
12.  Scorpion Moruga Chocolate            
13.  Scorpion Sunrise            
14.  Habalokia Peach            
15.  Moruga Satan Strain            
16.  7-pod Primo Yellow  
 
I will be growing only about 20 plants next year, due to lack of space and too many peppers (no, not puppy's) in previous years.

I've got a week off, so time for a somewhat bigger update
 

TS CARDI, are not doing bad, and seems to do better every week.

Bhut Jolokia Caramel, heading the right way as weel.

Habanero Mustard, still strugling and appears not to be groing.

Moruga Satan Strain, a pretty tall plant and doing well.

Part 2
 
Moruga Chocolate, a lot smaller and more compact than the Satan Strain, but looking good, nevertheless.

TS Sunrise, these will be great.

Peruvian White,doesn't seem to recover. Hopefully the good weather will take care of that.

Carolina Reaper, above expectations, firm plant and looking good..

Nice sturdy-looking plants Wally! Now that they've gotten used to their outdoor environment they're looking much happier. Flowers just around the corner... bonus!

Thanx
 
And here's part 3 (of 4)
 
Papa Joe's Scotch Bonnet, one in a 5 gallon smartpot and one in a 6,5-liter plastic container. The one in the Smartpot still doesn't grow and is very yellow. My Scotch Bonnets last year didn't get too big either. I think I'll put a Hbanero in the smartport next year. The one in the small container is doing much better, but it does have the benefit of being in a small greenhouse.

Aji Crystal, a very stretched plant. Doing just fine.

7-pot Primo Red, doing allright. Still a bit yellow. Has had some small pod, which I removed.

 

 

[wahlee76]

And the last part
 
Habanero Guadalupe, in the small greenhouse in a 12 liter container pot. Unsurprisingly the best looking plant.

7-pot Pimo Yellow, don't know why I keep this. It's not doing anything, but not dead either.

Aribibi Gusanito, doing allright, lots of small leaves. Not too big, but I think this will be a heavy producer.

I was wondering what can be done about the small leaves.

Looking good Wally, the plants are showing the normal stages of being put outside.
 
The good thing is they're looking great!
 
The small leaves.....get used to that. All those nice huge leaves are gonna drop and the smaller summer leaves take over. It's a good thing, as flowers and pods are next.
 
Keep it green!

Thanx, I never noticed this before. Maybe the sunburn emphasizes the difference.

Finally some good weather    !
Took half a day off, and took some pics 

Hope this belated summer, gives me some bigger and better pods

+1 on that Wally... it's been my experience also when transitioning from inside to outside plantings.
 
Your latest round of pics is looking fantastic! Continued success!

Carolina Reaper. Only pod on the plant.

TS Cardi, lots of pods on 2 plant in various shapes and sizes

Papa Joe's Scotch Bonnet. 2 plants, 1 pod

Habanero Guadalupe, going well and starting to ripen

Aji Crystal. Never thought these guys would get this big. When do these taste best?

Aribibi Gusanito. Plant is very bushy lots of little caterpillars

TS Sunrise. I have 2 plant, one of them has a lot more that actually rise like this one

Peruvian White.starting to come. pods are not too big.

Looking good Wally!
 
I picked my first Aji Cristal today, color was pinkish. Haven't tried it yet...
 
Congrats on the poddage!

 

[wahlee76]

Thanks,
 
if your Aji Cristal is the same color as the pic in my post, it tastes great. Nice, crunchy and not too hot. Good to eat straight from the plant.

Ripe 'pods' van de TS moruga Chocolate

Habanero Guadalupe has a more Scorpion look

MyPrimo red, which was completely yellow before, is looking much better, with a couple of pods. Nevertheless expected more from a plant that was sown last summer.

Nice to see your pods are starting to show a little color Wally! Except for the MoA, I'm still waiting here. I don't think OW plants like being grown in pots that are too small... I put mine in the ground in a raised bed this year and they've just exploded with growth after a slow start. I think giving the roots room to grow is the key.
 
Continued success brother!

 

[Devv]

Glad to see some poddage there Wally.
 
Keep it green!

 

[wahlee76]

first harvest. 10grams! Habanero Guadalupe

Good job Wally! Looks like things are starting to really tick over for you.
 
Your Peruvian White Habaneros look a little shorter and blockier than mine. Keep up the great work!

I'll post a close-up this weekend. Seeds are from Pepperlover, but I notice the somewhat colder and shorter summer over here influences the pod shapes. As well as that the plants are in a cramped garden.
