Stopped trying to grow peppers years ago. Usually get a spindly plant or two that give
a sad two or three fruits.
Last year I paid more attention, started seed early, topped them, and did get a nice
baby ahi amarillo plant....squat but bushy 2ft tall and 50 or so fruit. When it was done
I realized I had three plants in a 2 gallon grow bag. Impressive enough to try again.
This year I started early again, late January. Six varieties but they lumbered along and
struggled but ended up with 4 healthy plants out of about 30 seeds started. Did not
expect much.
Put all four in an EarthBox and now have massive shrubbery. Loaded with fruit.
Tomatoes struggled in all the heat and humidity and thunderstorms this year but
obviously peppers love it.
Now to figure out whats what. Four different varieties. Not labeled because I did not
expect this.
Picked a few more this morning as they are starting to color up. Probably top left is Padron,
then Caribbean Seasoning (land race from Artisan), then Baby AjiAmarillo...
The bigger green one must be BigJim next to a HatchBigJim (I order a 10lb box every
year...just delivered)
Not impressive to most but in my NEast climate very exciting.
