:O What do you mean... all your guy's peter peppers don't have faces?
No, no, you're right... mine kinda resembles the face of a cyclops.
(It sure as hell don't have two eyes!)
Looks like the metal bird on mystery science theater 3000
Looks nice and warm and humid in there for 'em! Did you get good results from your ghetto set-up?
Slowly ripening superhot pod
Time will tell how much it burns.

First two Limo Blanco pods
The Limo Blanco pods are yellow and not conical.
Fatalii - my best looking C. Chinense
The Fatalii plant has a good number of pods. I hope they aren't bitter like undersized pod I've eaten thus far.
Limón fruit set
Limón pods here are growing quickly.
Looking good, harry!
Does anyone know why Christmas is extra special for us Aussies? It's that magical time of the year when pods *really* start appearing.

Sure did - the set top box puts out enough heat keep the warm on all but the coldest nights, so I'll seed up again during winter, and yes Nova, a ghetto thread would be tops - there must be one somewhere here!
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

In the bowl is my two types of NOT Wasps (yellow and orange) and the ones in my hand are the, uh, yellow ones (which decided to ripen to orange this season 
). Major bummer really.... I liked 'em better when they were yellow.
Bloody huge too compared to last season. Just a shame they taste so vile.....

Good stuff Harry and gas
They do have a bit of a lantern shape, don't they? I also see funny faces in some of them too...
Gas are the wasps an early season variety? Or are purple jalas a later season than other varieties of jalas. Also,how is your chacoense doing? They either take forever to grow orine is stunted.
The Wasps are actually overwinters, but yeah, they really do seem to be super growers. They just want to grow and grow and grow and produce and produce and produce! I've never seen anything like it (but then again, this is only my third season of growing now).
The Purple Jalapeno? It's producing fairly quick too... it's just that I started it late.
My Chacoes have been funny. Quick as sticks to begin with but then just stopped and haven't done anything at all lately (and I mean AT ALL). Thought at first that maybe they preferred cooler weather (seeing as I started them in Winter and they did well at first) but as it's been the coolest Summer here I can remember, and if you're having trouble with them too (and it's Winter over there), now I'm not so sure....

Hard to say with mine right now. I just started a couple to test out for when I start all my seedlings. The ones I have going now seemm to be slow. They arent getting my full attention though. Very small seedlings it seems.
