First year growing here. Started the seeds quite late, sometime in late March/April. Tried habano 2000, corojo 99, criollo 98 and a few others. I transplanted into cups, and then moved them to large containers with good soil. I used alot of manure in the soil mixture, and used fish fertilizer every few weeks. They are big and look pretty sweet! I put alot of plants in the garden, but they are small and not doing so great. They are about ready to bloom. I picked off the seed/flower heads on half of them. I will probably keep the seeds on 3 or 4 plants, but I haven't researched that far yet. I think I need to put a net on them. I have at least 12 big happy plants. Anyhow here is a few picks. Any advice?
