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!!!

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.

i wont lie - they are a hard one to get going - none of my chocolate borg-9's sprouted (5) and I replanted 5 more and none of those sprouted either.

I bought a few fresh pounds a few weeks ago at the international market, but they were a huge disappointment.. no flavor.. little heat. i just dehydrated them for flaking to put on 'za..

I will get some photos this week of what we have currently ready for transplanting and even the wee choco's..

what i do for planting is pop the seed 'just' under the dirt and keep it moist, but not enough to bring the seed back to surface. I add under grow lights and keep on a planters heating pad all day on a rack covered with a shhet to keep it at least 80F.
