Lee's 2011 Wild/Brazilian season

Will probably put the plants in the garden this weekend. Temperature dropped to 10 degrees C the last few days but the forecast looks good, +20 degrees C this weekend and next week.

What do you do w/ all the peppers from the wild varieties? Use them individually to cook or make hot sauce/salsa?

I have since looked at your excellent website and its very informative. I found part of the answer to my question on your site here: http://www.wildchilli.eu/index.php/wild-chilli

I eat some fresh make powders, sauce/salsa's...


Transplanted some plants to their final container, 13 Liters. They will spend there first night outdoors. I made a small GH for them to stay in overnight. Protected them with some lace cloths, just in case..

Plants enjoying the sun. Will transplant them next week/weekend

Looks like most plants are hardened off, I can leave them in the sun all day with no problems

The weather is great this year.. Compared to last year, when most of my plants got root bounded (not enough space indoors) and caused very slow growth for 6+weeks or so, this year I was I able to progressively transplant the plants..
Can't wait to see the the difference in growth

Got 32 out of 60 new plants outside now. They survived the first night outdoors very well. Temperature was about 5 Degrees C in the "GH" but the plants where underneath lace cloths so temperature was a bit higher

Yes I'm still using it. What do you guys mainly use? I know Chilli focus is hard to get over there..
 
Has been a busy week transplanting the Chilli's. Just 10 more to go... Used about 800 Liters of soil to fill the containers. This year I will plant some chili's outside in the ground just to see how they grow compared to the chilli's in containers

C.cardenasii CAP 1530 (grew this plant in 2010). Due to lack of space most plants last year suffered from lack of light, root-bound,etc.). The curled leaves at the bottom of the plant are also a result of not enough light or not evenly spreaded light.

Plants doing fine outside.. April was a very good month with lots of sun and hardly any rain. May is starting even better, with temperatures this weekend up to 30 degrees C and rising night temperatures up to 17 degrees C :) .

Thx guys. CGN19198#2 miserably failed last year. Plant didn't produce any fruits

Some pictures of the Wilds.. They still growing on my roof terrace but will move them to the garden very soon. The plants in the garden especially some Brazilian species are getting very massive and bushy.
