Thanks for visiting everyone. Silver Surver, the Jalabanero is delicious. It tastes like a bell or mild Jalapeno at the very bottom but quickly gets very hot as you move up to the stem. At the top it is very hot but with a leftover taste of Jalapeno. The plant is early, easy and productive and the flavor is fantastic, plus no seeds!
I snapped a bunch of pictures yesterday. Not much is new, but I have plenty for people to look at.
Here are some Orange Manzanos. The biggest is 21cm around. The picture looks like there is some slack in the tape, but it really is a true 21cm.

Thanks neighbor!

No reason to start a new thread for my other plants, I have just a few:
Tree Tulsi (Tree Holy Basil):
Pomegranate (soon to be replanted) and Kalamansi citrus
Inside the greenhouse I have some tomatoes and basil. This is the sunny side:
Here is the shady side where new plants adjust:
Well that's it for today. I should have some more soon. The weather is nice and just about everything is doing very well.

I see you're flooding with smart pots. How are they doing compared to the non smart ones? Nice pics btw.
Nice plant progress ZS and some fine pods.
Your Datil pods look a little strange though.
Nice work.

Thanks everyone,
thaichillihead, It's a little early to tell but I think spartpots are a bit better than solid plastic containers. I can get by with less medium and it's very hard to over water.
franzb69, some will say it should be called a Calamondin instead. Seems like there's a lot of different spellings out there, but one things for sure; it's a versatile and delicious fruit. I may try to start some from seed next year.
Silver_Surfer and madhatter, thanks for letting me know. I've had the absolute worst luck with Datils and this is the farthest I've gotten. I'll have to try some new seed for next year. I've always wanted to try the true Datil, but hopefully this one is tasty anyway.

Nice plants!!
Thanks again everyone. Patrick, I knew you'd feel bad for that old thing. I just couldn't bring it back to health and it was spreading to my other plants. I've got a great Sara R Seven that has been quarantined too. I'm not down about it, I'm having a great season and I'm already planning for next year (FEWER PLANTS!).
The big news is I'm getting my first full size, fully ripe C. Chineses. Last year the garden started off great, but I got very few pods until late in the summer. To get early pods this year I experimented with smaller containers. My theory was smaller containers = earlier pods. I was succesful with some but other plants were stunted because I didn't have the room to transplant them on time. I've learned a lot and I'm selecting varieties that respond well to this style of growing. Plants that don't do well will make small peppers and eventually stall. These plants are doing very well and producing full size peppers in 2gal containers packed close together.
First up, my first ripe Fatalli of 2010. I actually started this plant back in 2009 and kept it very small. The Fatalli's I've grown (3 seasons) have all been slow growing and compact and I'm not surprised that they do well in these small containers.
Next is an Orange Habanero. The seeds were harvested from a grocery store pepper. Very large Habaneros and the plant is super healty. It is forming some nice size shoots that I'll be snipping for clones.

Oh yeah, I forgot to say something about the hairy veins on the underside of the Orange Habanero leaves. That is definately plant fuzz, no mildew at all. I've never seen it on a C. Chinese before. Another unique trait that makes this Hab a keeper.
