:o yes!! What are both of those!? The top ones look gnarly. And the bottom ones are beautiful. I've grown a few purple peppers before but only really tiny ones, that plant looks like it has decent size fruit though hey?

I grew the Scorpions last year. I made some pepper sauce and gave it to my BIL, who likes the hot stuff. The only time I saw him sweat from pepper sauce. I didn't save any of the seed from those, but I do have about seven kinds of peppers going.

I started 12 GV3 seeds in peat moss pucks yesterday.

And I inadvertently posted some erroneous information a while back. I said all my girls from last year were bred with Slo1. Last night I woke from a sound sleep with a vision of my bending GV1 down and dusting it with pollen from a short male growing beside it. {GV1 and 2 were both tall lanky plants, while the other 3 in the patch were only about chest high} So everything but GV1, 2, 3 and 4 were bred with Slo1. I really need to keep better records.

I had my first sprout from the GV1 seeds this morning. It was just cracking the dirt, not even standing up yet.

I tried growing scorpions last year, they do not finish with the short season we have :( I may have to build a greenhouse for my peppers..

A long growing season I do have. We were at 80F yesterday. Nice and toasty. Two months from now 80 will be a very cool day.

Jealous man! My grow season starts june 1st and ends in september. My garden is usually covered in 3ft snow drifts this time of the year, it's bare dirt right now though which is strange. I can also walk outside without a parka and toque which is strange for this time of year. Climate change, eh?

Even down here I can tell there is a change. Unless I'm guessing wrong, we had our last frost a couple of weeks ago. And my first killing frost was well into November last year.
