Jeffro,

My plants, after coming out of the seedling cups and into large pots, sat
as if they were doing nothing for about 2-3 weeks.  Don't be fooled,
though, all the action is going on underground as the plant establishes its
root structure in the new surroundings.  We have had unseasonably wet
weather this year, too (Central Coast, California) and I didn't get the
plants in the ground until mid-May.  We're making up for lost time though.
My Serranos are going berserk.  One 18" plant has 25-30 new pods and is
still setting blossoms.  My Thais and Jalapeņos are flowering nicely also,
and lo and behold, I spotted buds on three of my Orange Habs.. El Grande be
praised!  I'm sure your plants are going to take off here in a week or two.

In Chiles,

Doug
