The two overwintered plants are Chocolate Scorpion and Caribbean Red Habanero, both in their 5th year! I trimmed them down to bare wood last fall – not one leaf was spared. This is the first time I've been that ruthless, but I did not have a single pest all winter. I just let them leaf out as the winter passed, and now they look incredible, even though they've been under minimal light. I'm debating whether to keep them next winter, but either way, they should have a great summer.
The seedlings were started on Valentine's Day. In the back is a Tangerine Tiger (first time I've grown C Baccatum) and a Blood Ghost. I've heard that Tangerine Tiger can maybe get ten feet tall! I tried to grow a Blood Ghost last year, but the seedlings failed – don't know why. The two brand new seedlings are both Datil plants. I am actually most excited to grow those this year. They just have a cool history, and I've heard they taste great.
The other larger seedling on the right (between the Blood Ghost and the Datil) is a 7-Pot Primo, lookin good. I got the seeds last year from Troy, and the plant was spectacular. It got stunted somehow early in the season, so, even though it was really productive, there were a lot of pods that didn't quite ripen before the frost hit. This one looks like it may hit the ground running!
Not pictured is a Fresno plant that was started indoors last October. So far it's given up three harvests indoors, and I'm looking forward to see what it will do once it gets outside. Right now it's in a 2-gallon grow bag and doing well. I'm debating whether to promote it to a 5-gallon grow bag once it gets outdoors.
