Looking for opinions/guidance

10 years ago

I have preliminarily tabbed the following 12 varieties to grow out this year. Of the ones on this list, which should I start early? I plan on starting my super hots (Carolina Reaper) within a week which will be my early planting. Then a week to two weeks later, I will plant my second round. Which varieties should I plant early and which should I hold off on for a week or two?

1: 5 Color Marble
2: Carolina Reaper
3: Thai Hot
4: Thai Dragon
5: Thai Sun
6: Jalapeno Grande
7: Numex Twilight
8: Black Pearl
9: Prairie Fire
10: Uba Tuba
11: Aji Limon
12: Manzono

thanks,
Bruce

I would definitely start Carolina reaper and manzano now.
Uba tuba (aka bishops crown, Christmas bell, bishops hat, peri peri etc.) grows very quickly but takes a long time to fully develop its larger fruit so you may want to start them now also.
All the rest I would hold off on.

I also start my ornamentals early. I started them (along with my Reapers and other superhots) mid Nov. haha, my Filius Blues (well, so are my marbles) are covered in buds and blooms, they look so cute.

Hi Bruce.

You might want to go ahead and start the Aji Limon also. Baccatums can be finicky. The rest are Annuums and can wait for 2-4 more weeks.

OK, adding the Aji Limon and the ornamentals to the early start list.
Thanks all.
