Update on 2016 Pepper Season

February 18, 2016

So far things are progressing OK, but not great.  Having some germination failures with some varieties, and of course some I wanted to try the most like Big Yellow Mama and Yellow Dystopia.  Overall though things are progressing and should still be in line for a huge season if all goes well.

 

These are the first starts of the year.  Most of these were started in late December or early January.  A few look malnurished, but most look pretty good.  There is plenty of time for the yellowish malnurished looking ones to pull out of it.

The next 2 pictures are seelings that were started in early to mid January.

I have never seen buds form on such a young plant as this.  This plant is just over 2 inches tall at the most.
