This is just a rambling post to try to gather my thoughts so far on the season.

I have an overwintered Galapagoense that was attacked by mites in April. I managed to spray all of them off of it with a high powered hose and I honestly have not seen any more mites on it for a month nor have I seen any more eggs. I had to do like 3 sessions of high powered hosing! It's finally blooming! I have a good handful of blooms, hopefully early enough so at least one of the blooms will set. I would love to have my own seed source for this pepper!

I also have an overwintered bhut jolokia that did nothing last year (from what I remember). I don't think it even bloomed. This year it started early and I got lots of blooms and I have about 8+ peppers on it! This is a harvest considering this is 2 year old plant!! It looks very healthy.

My Hawaiian Konas are looking like they have buds but I don't know how they will turn out considering the Texas heat is kicking up. These were overwintered as well and the plants look really good.

I started late with my seedlings and don't really expect to have any harvest by the end of the year. My seedlings are true seedlings right now and only about 2 inches. I figure I can get a headstart by overwintering them for next year since I never really have much luck the first year anyway.

I didn't label them this year, so we'll just have to figure it out by the pods. I grew drastically different types so that I can recognize them when/if they fruit. The only one that I recognize by seedling is of course the purple maui! You can't miss its gorgeous purple leaves! This has got to be one of my favorite plants!

Siling Haba

Peperoni Di Senise

Chiltepin

Purple Maui (1 seedling came up)

I may decide to try and germinate another set of plants really late - I'll decide this weekend to see if I'll try and pull that off!
