I don't know what you are doing Kevin, but mine is going nuts with flowers. Even getting destroyed in the hail storm last week it is still just pumping them out.

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

You say the going is slow, but my plants are maybe half as big as yours at best, so the waiting game is killing me here. Beautiful plants, by the way.
Thanks Cappy, I dont add any organic stuff to my dirt!May and June is when all the growth happens on my pepper plants, yours are ready to explode with growth so give them the food they need now. Did you till in organic matter in your dirt or do you just rely on a good feeding schedule to do the trick? Plants look like they are just getting rooted good in the new soil. With all the wild your growing it will be like capsicum heaven when they all grow up! A little bone meal down each row and watered in might just give them the kick start you want, worked for me in the past. May have to visit to try all your wilds one afternoon if that's alright with you. Feed'em.
Just good ol' red clay!
And a lil voodoo
Nothing like knocking back a few beers and eatin peppers right off the plants!
You are welcome anytime my friend!
Kevin
I dont know either!!
The plant did put a few flowers out right before freeze last year!
so I know it aint sterile!
Hopefully that sucker will blast off soon!
Kevin
Thank you Sync!, It is just this time of year! Everything seems to be going slow!
In a month we will have our hands full!!
Looks like your grow is off to a fast start this year Kevin.
Can't wait to see what some feeding does for your lil peppa horde...
...but Dr. Franken-right does knows what's best for his Chile Chilluns...
...doesn't he???
"Now Igor, go and check that the vault, and all of our plant secrets are secure...
...Muahahahahahahahaha!"

Great looking garden, Waywright, but I have a question. How the hell do you keep that big of a patch weed free? If I don't heavily mulch my plants within a week of transplanting, the weeds rapidly choke it out. I've often considered giving up on chiles and being a weed farmer -- and no, not that kind of weed!
The action ho! I love this tool!
A few minutes of walkin thru tha garden each night, and the action ho takes care of everything!
But I know what ya mean the weeds can get outta hand in a hurry!
Thank you MW!
I could lend you my chainsaw for dem pepper trees ya' got thar sonny...
Thank you Dan!
right now nail clippers would do tha job!
but hopefully I will need a 4WD truck and a tow strap to get em up this fall!!
Kevin
I agree Eric!
and if there if a perfectly good Ho ,
Just sitting there waiting to be used!
Ya cant waste time!
Great job on getting your C. galapagoense up and running Kevin...
...it's truly one of the more finicky wilds to grow well in cultivation...
...and with yours flowering already, i hope you get a bumper crop of pods this season.
Your Blackbird's Eye is simply gorgeous with it's darkened foliage...you'll have to keep us updated on that one.
Looking forward to seeing how your pepper grow progresses through the season.
