Poor jalapeno. I just spent the last couple of hours filling a trailer with overwintered plants and a whole garden bed full of weeds. Oh what fun! Found tonnes of snails hiding on the fence near the weeds so gonna put the chooks out the front soon to have a feast. Walked past the trailer and there are about 10 snails climbing up the side wall. Damn things.
Not sure if I will be using my garden beds this season. I will buy some cheap capsicums and plant them, give them a few weeks and if no sign of disease then rip them and plant my babies
Cool. They eat snail and slugs? Awesome!
It would be my second favourite animal then (after the honey badger)
My Aji Omnicolor plants last season had a similar stem on young plants.Wow, nice thick stem on that too for only 1 month old.
I used the Mid Season C.Baccatum varieties as a guide last season. From that list I chose Aji Omnicolor and Inca Red Drop. I initially planned to try Criolla Sella but swapped it in a purchase for Brazilian Starfish seeds that did not grow true .Speaking of baccatums, I'm not going to start any more chinense anymore, but looking for a few annuums and baccatums. All I have now is the single amarillo, and all the jalapenos, hungarian hot wax, and czech blacks I want.
Anyone know any other good fast starters and where to get them from?
That listing is a bit ambiguous. The Aji Panca pictured on the left is the one listed on ChilePlants.com as a Very Late Season Chinense. The pods pictured on the right do not match the description from ChilePlants.com. My hunch is brown Baccatums don't exist.Anyone grown aji panca?

That wasn't the first link for aji panca I found, I searched through heaps to find the chileman link so most people know of the source.
edit: Just been doing some more research after heaps of google links.

I'm not that good to tell what that flower means (I'd have to look it up) but what's your thoughts?
Maybe that one grew red, and only the misnamed ones that are chinense grow brown?
I grew one last season.....Anyone know any other good fast starters and where to get them from?

But it died and was slooow
Thanks Micca! Not anywhere close to where I had hoped to be by now (considering the early start and all) but yeah, guess I really shouldn't complain.Gassy is really going well getting some pods to form and all. Nice work!
Funny thing.... as slow as things were going in winter, I kinda miss the nice mild sun already. Whacked a few plants out just before and had to pull them into the shade like half and hour later as they really started copping a beating. I forgot about hardening off; the one thing I absolutely hate about growing chillies. It's such a dick around!
Considering rigging up a little bit of shade cloth this season which hopefully I can just whack my newbies under and not have to worry about them when I'm at work and crap. Anyone do this or have any thoughts or opinions? (Like, it should do the trick, aye?)
