The seeds were placed in the rootriot cubes on 23-12-2013 and left to do their thing in the propagator. This year I'm only heating the prop half of the time (15 mins on, 15 mins off) to prevent over-heating as happened last year. I'm hoping for 90% germination this year.

So the grow list for the year... mostly sourced from semillas.de plus a few other bits and pieces I have lying around. There is one more variety to go yet, but that assumes I can find the seeds - try as I might I couldn't find them in my box, so another good look is required.
So, in no particular order:
- Pinzón
- Jellybean
- Purple Habanero
- JAFSH
- Peruvian Golden - PI 238052
- Beni Market - PI 543205
- Cumari
- Aji Cochabamba
- Pimenta da Neyde
- Aribibbi Gusano
- Scarlet Lantern
- Giant Rocoto
- Trinidad Perfume
- Bunte Mischung (x6)
- Gumdrop (x5)
- CGN 21500
Generally I've sowed three of each, except where noted. Most of these were picked from the website as being interesting, with a couple other reasons.
- CGN21500 - having failed to get a proper crop in 2012, this is a second go
- Pimenta da Neyde - same as above. I gave up on this one in 2012 and found a couple of pods as I composted it. So now I wanted to give it another go with fresh seeds.
- Trinidad Perfume - I'm growing these for a friend at work, she really liked the flavour of the pods last year and is no great fan of heat, so these will be given to her once they reach a decent size.
- Giant Rocoto - I've only ever got one rocoto to germinate, and then it wouldn't set pods, so this is another try to get a rocoto pod of my own. I may put this outside in the peak of summer to help with fertilization (assuming it grows in the first place).
