As a result of a new job and very little time on my hands I've been unable to provide any updates. Fortunately I still found time to attend to the plants. Heres a few shots of todays harvest, will take some pics of the plants soon. Orange Habs: Aji Pineapple: Yellow Fatalii: Chocolate...

Based on which looks most like my TSMB I'd say plant 2, although theres not alot in it especially since they may be the same thing

There's too many variables across both situations and requirements from different individuals. If you take into consideration time and money, ground has to win. What costs more, loads of seeds to throw in the ground or a bunch of hydro setups. The ground is certainly more forgiving if you can't...

Good to see your having success in places I thought would be worse than the UK which comes with poor weather too. I think you probably have a similar time frame to put things outside, but in the UK we often get an Indian summer in September so can keep things producing until early October. Last...

You got some nice harvests going on. Out of curiosity, how do you grow your tomatoes? I've noticed on a few pics from different people that most seem to let them go bushy. In the UK I've always seen them grown as a long vine hanging off a string, with all side shoots trimmed off. I believe this...

I'm liking the bamboo frame around those beds. What is it intended to keep out?

Loving the solar dehydrator, very original thinking. I'm not sure if it would work in the UK but as I only have an oven to do my drying and will not part with my cash and power for a small electric dehydrator I may have to look into something similar.

I'm in the same boat, these early starts are nearly ready for the ground but it will be mid May at the earliest, even with a greenhouse. One thing I've noticed about the Fatalii, the leaves although very chinense looking, are much smaller than I'm used to with other plants of this size. As with...

Straight for the placenta, crazy stuff. Nice to have pods already, can't wait for my first fresh ones this year.

Very nice looking plants. I occasionally get leaves with random holes or chunks missing, I think its just a deformity that occurs as they begin growing and nothing to worry about.

Cheers fellas, this year is going much better than expected. Got a couple of extra plastic greenhouses, 5' tall and should hold 3 plants each, should help out a bit. I was chuffed with the seeds I received, Ive decided to give tomatoes a go this year, something I usually leave to my Dad. I've...

Great looking plants! That MH is really working for you.

A couple of packages which kept me busy From Semillas La Palma My Prize from Pepper Joe's naming competition Salsa Box Garden Box I'm really impressed with how professionally packaged everything is and I was really surprised how much extra stuff I received, Kudos Pepper Joe...

Had a busy day starting more seeds and potting up yesterday. Took a few pictures along the way and got the TZ10 out. Last years orange hab doing well My first pot up, chocolate hab doing well Still under lights but not for long Choc hab Fatalii Recent pot ups in the sun Fatalii...

I eat a fair amount of bell peppers in stir frys and the like. Despite knowing that red bell peppers contain the most vitamins they also have a stronger flavour and I've found give me an acid stomach if I have more than a little bit, such as a red pepper omelette. This is from someone with a...

Good looking log. That is gonna be a nicely organised pepper garden.

Thanks for the info guys. Definately got some ideas for how I'm going to grow these now.

Last year 1 of my 3 bih jolokia plants produced lime green unripe pods before turning the deep red, compared with the other 2 which had deep green unripe pods. Mine were much more narly than those. I'd probably lean toward a naga morich, they can have smoother pods from experience, or maybe a...

Good info Donnie. Did you find much difference between those chinense and baccatums, presumably the latter being a little shorter seasoned? Also how was the flavour comparison with the Limón and Beni Highlands, and the Lemon Drop, Aji Pineapple and Hot Lemon, anything discernible or...

I'm thinking I'll give a few of the chinense a go and just see how I get on. Some of the Baccatums are Peruvian/Bolivian in origin so I assume they can take a bit of cold but no idea how long till production. I think the Goronong may also manage better in cooler temps but not sure. I've lived...
