My Annuums and baccatums germinated very vell this year. But I cant say the same for the chinense. Only about 1/3 of the seeds germinated. So I started to germinate some more seeds of the most wanted.
From 28/1 -31/1 i started to grow more seeds of these:
Trinidad Scorpion (already staring to germinate)
Cherio Recife
Aji Panca (already staring to germinate)
Jalapeno Olé
Shiny red (bad seeds I belive)
Giant White Habanero
This weekend I also started germinate, just for fun, some Hot Lemon seeds from the freezer - does it work? will it work?
On the 3/2 I planted some seeds of the white bacctum Blondie. It will be intressting to follow this one as bacctums with matured white pods seems to be very rare. Is it a realy bacctum? Will it stay white even as matured and overmatured? ...time will tell.
