Planting time here in southern Indiana/north central Kentucky is
traditionally Derby Day (first Saturday in May) so I got my plants into
the ground - started from seed this year, except for three store-bought
orange habs - about a week ago. This past Saturday night, however, there
was a frost advisory, so we were out with the row covers, protecting
them and the tomatoes from potential (fortunately not actual) damage.
I have twenty plants in a roughly 6x5 grid, including:
3 - orange habanero
4 - naga jolokia
5 - caribbean red habanero
4 - chocolate habanero
4 - fatalii
All save the chocolates and the orange habs are based on seed from Jim
C's Open Fields - the chocolates are from seed from last year's plants
bought at Bunton Seed in Louisville. I tried to start some Red Savina as
well but they were uniformly unsuccessful.
Looking forward to seeing how everything turns out!
