Ok, I'll try it this year.

[JohnF]

And here they are on 5-29-07. Starting to harden them off.




Overwintered plants-outside for the first time time this year

[luca]

Very nice, John!

Your seedlings look very healthy and consistent.  Are you focusing on any specific varieties this year?

[JohnF]

Thanks, Luca

For this year I started all peppers that I have not grown before except for some sweets that I really liked and Seven Pod to compare to the super hots everyone seems to be growing. And of course, I have the overwintered and winter starts which are not new.

This last batch are those started in October and November to do some crossing experiments with. That never happened because of battles with mites and then aphids. As you can see, some did better than others, having large pods, and some are struggling to survive. I expect they will all perk up once outside because I never have insect problems on my outside plants.

[luca]

No need to list them all, John. <edit>you listed them just as I was writing this post! :lol: </edit>

But I'm interested in knowing how your season will develop.  I've planted many of the seeds I got from you last year, thanks for that!

[luca]

Wow! That's really an impressive list! I wish you all the luck with them! I'm looking forward to seeing the amazing pics I know you'll take from these varieties

[koolguymike]

looking good John.

[JohnF]

Well, the second week of June I finally got the peppers potted up outside. Here are some of them on the back deck



We are still having cool weather --highs in the 60's and 70's and lows in the 40's and 50's so nothing is doing much at this point. Hoping for warmer weather

[Aji Inferno]

John, about the best collection one can ever grow!    You, indeed, also have all the hottest known varieties there: Scorpion, 7-Pod, different versions of Naga, etc. I'm sure many of us here in Finland just drooled while reading through that list. And some of us went pale, knowing what that amount of capsaicine means!  :twisted:

Good luck - hopefully you'll collect a truckload of hottest delight!

[tknummelin]

John,

Is that some Physalis I see in the foreground?

[JohnF]

Thanks, aji.

tk-- that is a summer squash, though I have several physalis and other solanaceae growing elsewhere.

[tknummelin]

Thanks, aji.

tk-- that is a summer squash, though I have several physalis and other solanaceae growing elsewhere.

Ok then, my second guess would have been cucumber. It just seemed so unlike you to have anything outside genus capsicum

[JohnF]

Ah--besides all the peppers I have 35 varieties of tomatoes, 2 kinds of kale, 2 kinds of chard, leeks and 3 varieties of onions, 3 varieties of beans, 17 kinds of cucumbers, 13 varieties of eggplant, 8 kinds of summer and 8 kinds of winter squash, 1 watermelon, pear melons, 4 kinds of husk cherry, 3 kinds of tomatillos, several solanaceae, 2 kinds of chinese cabbage, 3 kinds of Bok choy, a whole bunch of different salad greens ( endives, ecaroles, lettuces, asian greens, etc,) sugar snap peas, parley, cilantro, several kinds of basil, a couple of thymes, sage, tarragon, several mints, a couple of oreganos, lemon grass, rosemary, marjoram, chives-regular and garlic, and a bunch of flowers.

[tknummelin]

Oh, i guess you really smoked us all with that

[JohnF]

Hail storm yesterday. This may slow things down a bit.

[Aji Inferno]

Hail storm yesterday. This may slow things down a bit.

Too bad...  Hopefully not too much damage done..? Hail doesn't happen here often.

[cmpman1974]

My gosh.  Any time for sleeping John?  WOW!!!!   That is just incredible.  No need to visit a Farmer's Market for you.  

Chris

Hey Chris

I seem to remember some non pepper crops in your pictures too. We do really enjoy the things out of the garden and they are even more appreciated because the season is so short.

:shock: Damn! What else can i say, that's just so impressive...

[svalli]

John,

It is nice to see that your plants survived the hail storm and they seem to be thriving well. Your driveway looks really impressive. You must live in a nice neighborhood, if you can keep so many plants close to the street.
