Two more!

Two more varieties have germinated.

Fatalii (Capsicum chinense)
Peru yellow (Capsicum baccatum)

Still waiting for Aji dulce, Timplin, Peter and Cumari. But I think those seeds have passed the 'best before date'. They are about 10 years old.

Seedlings update – January 11

Ten more varieties have germinated.

Locato (Capsicum pubescens)
CAP 217(Capsicum pubescens)
Malagueta (Capsicum frutescens)
Tabasco (Capsicum frutescens)
Rocotillo (Capsicum chinense)
Aji amarillo (Capsicum chinense)
Chilipiquin (Capsicum annuum)
PI315024 - Lemon drop (Capsicum chinense)
Aji del monte o Putapario (Capsicum chacoense)
Naga morich (Capsicum annuum)

As you see, there are too many seedlings in some containers, but as soon as they develop their first leaves, I will remove some of them, or wait until repotting into larger pots.

In 2004 I made an experiment, taking pictures to show how a seedling developed and grew during the hours. You can see it at: http://petterssononline.com/habanero/seedling.php
