I started growing some peppers in January and the latest seeds went in dirt in March, so far a lot of leaves, some cayennes have matured and they were tasty. A few flowers on a couple superhots. I gave my sister a Carolina reaper in a 4" pot and hers is at least twice as big as any of mine, and it's full of flowers. Gonna be a hot summer!!!

Nothing in the ground yet - hoping to this week.

Poblano's are flowering; Thai Dragon's are flowering; Reaper will be flowering probably in the next 30-days; Red Trinidad Scorpions, about the same cycle as Reaper; Caribbean Habanero, maybe another 30-days as well; Chocolate Habanero and Chocolate Trinidad's will most likely be another 60-days easy.

What size pots are they in right now? And when did you plant? I ask because I have some still in 4" pots that I'm afraid won't make it if I don't transfer soon, like yesterday, soon.

all peppers notwithstanding my chocolates, we picked up from our local nursery, so their pots are standard nursery - approx. 3" x 3" x 4".. All of my chocolates are from my personal stash and were started from scratch in mid-March. Each of those is about to start the 3rd set of leaves and are still in the wee spit cups you can get for the bathroom.

that said - we are in Zone 5B so the rule of thumb is not to plant before Mothers Day, which is done now and I hope to get out this week to ground all but chocolates - I say that because the choc's aren't big enough to get grounded yet especially with as much rain as we'll likely get; they will however get transplanted into much bigger pots for probably the next month (by bigger I mean 6")

I can say that the pictures you posted last year of the chocolate habanero is one of the reasons I decided to try it out this year. I planted 12 chocolate habanero seeds and none sprouted, kind of a letdown, but all the others did.
