nice pics ganja baba!
i planted out all the chilis and sweet peppers this weekend also to my amazement the jalapeños from last year have directly gone into bloom, meaning im going to get some early in the summer
kind of didnt expect the varieties that were overwintered to directly jump into production mode
im trying to decide if i dare to dig out a big overwintered plant or two and take it to a friends place - he would really like to have one big baccatum bush like the aji bubbas i got. i certainly got more than enough for my self with the 5 huge bushes i got.
the ones i thought of digging up have not started flowering yet, but im sure they will soon if i take long to decide.
anybody dug up a year old huge chili bush and moved it ever?
peace all

i would imagine that if you dug it up and then put it in a warm enviroment it will be fine . even may do it good to have the roots pruned ,
making them root bond , flowers then early to,and the chiles end up normal size .
aji bubbas what are they like , i have aji lemon but its tall and not to bushy whats the aji mean do you know .
also i see alot of drying the chilies and smoking them , i only use dried kashmire chilies at the mo for food and never have i tried smoked chilies whats the deal with all this is it really worth doing ?
i put drying and smoking but i mean cooker smoking lol ,
what i thought was coffee bean was a cherry bomb , big round all most golf ball size now and was the first to show pods outta all the types i have

awesome i might try to dig up a plant or two for my mates then.
aji's (baccatums) come in a wide range of sizes. bubba is the biggest of the ones i got. im sure if u top prune them they will spread out sideways more
here in south spain the sun makes them really bushy as the season continues, much bigger than the chinense or annums the bubbas has grown into a hedge, that started of at 1,50m heigth (i cut it down to that last year) and will grow propably even more than last year. very branchy and vigorous. over 3 meter long branches - the trellis is at 2m height and the branches were hanging down to the ground. was funny to water them, having to crawl in under the bush. i had to tie up the branches and add an other trellis further up later in the season. this year i will make one hell of a trellis, since im sure it will get filled anyway. the bubbas are very productive. from 6 plants i was harvesting 2-3 shoppingbags full of nice tasty and hot chilis. it ended up to become my absolute favorite plant.
i hope the aji norteño and the aji crystal are as tasty too
if u like smoked foods like bacon and such, smoking chilies is a treat to use in cooking. the smoking tradicion comes from mexico (chipotle) but is also used here in spain to preserve peppers.. it adds instant BBQ flavour and aroma to anything u sprinkle it on. i think its awesome - also makes great BBQ sauce material..
i smoke the chillis first when they are fresh and juicy, then i dry them in the oven..
just got to say im so stoked for the red rocotos (capsicum pubesence) - i got 9 plants of them and they might grow 5 meter tall each of them!
heres a pic of a red rocoto from the web
isnt it awesome with the black seeds!

last fall i dug up 4-5 jalapeno's/habenero's/thai's... stupid me did not mark which was which... but 4 of em are doing excellent.. one already has 15/20 flowers on it, but since i didn't prune it back enough..def will need to be prop'd up .
i have some others that i grew in toppy-turvey's... i think 6-7 plants in each- 1/2 the plants in each t/turvey died, but the other half are alive and kickin.
bottom line... keepin plants going over the winter is pretty easy...

zachrock - over-wintering is not the issue we are discusing, although i can see how it could be misstaken for that hehe
the question was if its ok to move a plant that has established itself in the soil for one year to an other spot. the plants in question are baccatums and are shooting branches all over but have not yet started to flower as ganja baba allready pointed out, it shouldnt be a problem at all. so im actually going to dig up a few baccatums to give to a few mates. the baccatums keep fruiting for about 5-6 years so its a nice gift to give to ppl who like gardening
here over wintering is a matter of leaving the chilis out there in the garden and water them sometimes unless if its a chinense, then it wont handle the slight frosts we get in winter sometimes. i can see its more hustle for ppl who live in places that get snow etc - but our winters dont get that hard.
been making lots of shade structures for the seedlings that are recently planted out. we have a massive heat wave very early for this year, and the recently transplanted cant handle the heat. 30ºC in the shade is a bit too much of a shock for plants that been nursed indoors under artificial lightning. honestly the only ones that took the sun with no trouble most part of the day was the jalapeño hercules from my seeds from last year. tough bastards!
even myself i got a dizzy spell out working in the garden today.. havent really gotten used to the heat yet. i better get it fast, since in 2 months or so we will have more than 40ºC in the shade - and nigths around 30º.
