Reapers new to me

[dr k]

My plants are big enough just waiting on the weather to warm up a bit.Bought some pickling cukes an basil they are planted,will try to get some Brussels Sprouts maybe 1 Tomato plant.

I didn't slowly harden the choc habs from the plant light over the winter and they got sun burned but are fine. You may have to keep them outside in the shade a few days then an hour in the sun a couple days, then two hours etc.

I'm jumping right in on making this.

I received my silicone fermentation lids, glass weights for wide mouth jars and squeeze bottles today.

Have habernero, jalepeno, serrano, bell pepper, onion and garlic.

Starting ASAP.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Sounds great

What I used (for no particular reason):
4 Red Bell Peppers
4 Habanero Peppers
12 Jalepeno Peppers
15 Serrano Peppers
1 Red Onion
Garlic

Mixed a 3% salt solution, poured over the diced ingedients, glass weight on top.

What do you recommend - in refrigerator fermentation, or outside?

Thanks for the inspiration!

My peppers are in and looking happy, now I watch and wait. Right now we have the perfect on-and-off rain and sun episodes, Weather for Young Plants.

I filled the last two spots yesterday, one was "lunchbox red" which resembles a jalapeno but it's supposed to be a sweet snacking pepper good for salads. Never tried that one.

Thinking about pruning these before taking them outside.
Any of you guys that have grown peppers what do you think,trim now or later?

The small one I planted mothers day. Along with habanero, ghost and Chipotle peppers.

 

[tropics]

That plant in the 5 gal bucket is only 2 weeks old?

I'm waiting to see what the growth habit of these ghosts will be. So far, they're the smallest plants in the patch even though they do look pert and happy.

I've never seen a ghost pepper plant These Reapers have some large leaves if I didn't take the seeds out myself I would be leery
