My pepper 2013 season has begun! - Page 3

pdxwindjammer · February 11, 2013

I got all of mine started. Most are in a 50 cell flat, planted in the nctomatoman's dense planting method. I planted the stubborn, hot ones in a separate 9 cell flat:

Chocolate Bell
California Wonder
Corno di Toro
Parsle Albarraa Iraqui Pepper
Hungarian Hot Wax
Jalapeno
Marconi Red
Ancient Sweet
Beaver Dam
Thai
Cayenne
Padron
Chimayo
Chinese Giant
Jimmy Nardello

These will require more time under lights and probably longer germination time:

Bhut Jolokia (may be impossible in our short season but I am going to try!)
Brazilian Starfish
7 Pod Jonah (also requires a lot of time)
Padron (divided them between the two flats)

Got them all in the cells on Saturday. Can't wait to see them peek out!

Here's what I'm sowing this year, a few are later filial generations of hybrids, or segregations from obvious accidental crosses. If I could grow only 3 it would be north star, mariachi and arledge.

I'm looking for a heavy-walled small bell or cone/top shaped pepper that ripens red quickly and stands up well in the field when ripe. Ultraset from Stokes was outstanding but no longer available. I'd like to find an OP version. A good dwarf windowsill chili that flowers in very low light of winter would be nice to find as well.

I've had my fill of superhots. I like to make savory vinegar sauces with the surplus.

I have been dilligently checking my peppers the last few days and today there were several peeking out of the soilless mix! First ones out are:

Organic Thai
Marconi Red
Ancient Sweet
Jalapeno
Hot Lemon
Corno di Toro

Hot Lemon is my new favorite. Grew it last year for the first time. They were still green when I took off for Italy for almost 6 weeks the end of November so I had kind of given up on them. Checked in to my garden I think toward the end of November and the plants were loaded with yellow peppers that were still in great condition even though it had turned rainy. Picked them, dried them and ground them and they are sooo tasty! Hot but flavorful!

I also picked up some Mustard Habanero because a woman who owns a small garden shop near me said it was her favorite. Just sowed those today.
