Nebru 7
7 pot brain strain .
Red savina

I'm over wintering an Orange hab.

[Snadger]

I have a Trinidad Perfume and a Jalapeno overwintering. These are the only two types of chilli i grow because I am a bit of a wuss as far as chilli heat is concerned. Hopefully I will use seeds from these two for this years crop also.

I currently have the following pepper plants overwintering in my conservatory:
Laylak (two of them)
Marconi Yellow
Boneta
King of the North
Jalapeno
Sweet Heat
Tangerine Dream
Hungarian Yellow wax

I also have three plants that I am experimenting with overwintering outside in the ground. I cut them back to a 30cm tall stem, wrapped them with raw wool and straw, and covered each one with an old compost bag. I shall unwrap them in May or so.

I have two Razzmatazz over-wintering. The first chilli plants I've grown

[Chippy Minton]

I have an orange habañero which will be going in to its third summer, a Bangalore Torpedo which will be in to its second, a prairie fire that's looking a bit sorry for itself but will be into its third year and finally a bhut jolokia which will be in its second summer but didn't fruit last year (hoping the longer growing period assists with a harvest). All on the home office windowsill so get a lot of attention.

They need re-potting though (looking a little yellow), maybe that this weekend's job along with sowing this year's efforts.

[Mr Bones]

Don't have any overwintering but have sown 10 Jalapeno and 10 Hungarian Hot Wax.

Whoops posted in last years thread, this year I lost all the plants I cut back for winter but any I let grow on without cutting back or reducing feed and water are doing well, Orange Hab has about 10 fruit, Aji Machero 1 fruit 2 flowers, Brown Jalapeno, Orange Cayenne, Little Demon, Peruvian Purple, Peach Hab and an Aji Champion and Aji Chombo that are outside and have survived a few -3c nights.

Put all my pepper seeds on damp tissue paper on my kitchen radiator to sprout.
I think I have 15 varieties in total. Probably too many...
I'll try to make a list to post here at some point.

not enough varieties in my opinion, a rough count puts me on at least 32 varieties this year.

[annie8]

Don’t overwinter any but I sowed cayenne, scotch bonnet and lemon drop in the heated propagator.

[ameno]

Here is a list of the varieties I am growing (or trying to grow, pending seed germination) this year:

Zlaten Medal
Kurtovska Kapiya
Ontara
Family (these four are all Eastern European varieties)
Marconi Golden
Laylak
Morron Conservor Luesia
Cayennetta
Mild Jalapeno
Beaver Dam
Antep Aci Dolma
Apple Crisp
Nigel's Outdoor Chilli
And a sweet yellow snacking variety I save from a supermarket fruit (it did well last year)

I plan to have three of each variety.

Today I also potted up some of the seeds which had sprouted. Marconi Golden, my self-saved seeds, and Cayennetta are now fully potted up, and I have two Aci Antep Dolma potted up. No signs of growth from any others yet. Also put a few extra seeds on the damp paper for the varieties which had some seeds which looked a bit dodgy.

[Gearoid]

This is my first year growing from seed. I have 2 x red Cayenne peppers and 6 x red Corno di Toro sweet peppers, sown last month and all doing well so far.

[Sweet savory]

I have 4 tangerine dream up. One Zimbabwe black potted on and another 2 just up. That’s 2 each for me and spares for the plant sale in early May, assuming they make it till then.

[ameno]

A few of the Family sweet pepper seeds have started sprouting now, but still no signs of life from any others.
I'm a little concerned...
