Terminated 3/20/2020 - Orange You in the Mood for Peppers

[Shawn]

I am getting ready to plant more Peppers.  Both "Orange" in color.

Burpee Tangerine Dream

The look is hot but the flavor is not!  Yes, it's a gorgeous little bush studded all over with shiny red-orange rockets-too pretty to hide away among rows of vegetables. But it's very tasty too, with a hint of heat. The 3" fruit are sweet and delicious, either pickled or on salad platters. Height 18".

Parks Just Sweet

So sweet it's practically candy!  A delicious super sweet pepper that has the best flavor when it turns from green to orange. This pepper has a crisp bite with a beautiful color and great texture. Great for salads, stuffed pepper bites, or any snack sized recipe!

Machine:     Bounty

Vendor:       Burpee and Park

Sponge:      Park

Nutes:         AG Nutes with Mooch to follow

Planted this morning.

Peppers take a long time..I admire you pepper aficionados with the patience you all have.

They do but thankfully I have other projects in progress. Plus now I have my Habas grown and waiting to change colors while the others are just starting.

This morning.   Both seeds in the Just Sweet are over the label.  The second seed of the Tangerine Dream is almost at the top of the sponge.

and in less than 2 weeks! nice!

I was looking at the Park ones the other day, while I was also looking at strawberry seeds. 
I love those little sweet peppers. I have some Baby Belle Mini’s from Renee’s Garden seeds, I have yet to plant. Can’t wait to see yours grow!

[Shawn]

Growing nicely.....

Yes, they Are growing nicely, SHawn. I rodered some of these last week and they are on the way. I am hoping they do well for me also.

[Shawn]

@cornne , So far so good on these.  We can both compare taste on these.  I have NO clue whether I will top or not.  mike do you this these should be topped or wait a bit more? 

[mike]

I'd wait at least 10 more days. They are still pretty short. If I remember correctly, both are fairly bushy. I don't think you'll need to.

[Shawn]

Thanks mike

[Shawn]

mike , I have another question for you ..

   Both plants have buds, should I cut those off?  Here are the shots:

Thanks in advance for you assistance!

[mike]

That's awfully young for buds. Yes, I'd remove the buds for at least another two weeks to keep the energy of the plant keep going into building stronger branches.

Thank you Mike.  I also thought it was early but hey what do I know LOL.  I cut them off and will trim any others out for the next 2 weeks.

Thanks again!

[Shawn]

Here they are today.  I snipped off 4 more tiny buds.

[mike]

I know I've grown both of these. I'm pretty sure they were both about 18" in height. You should be starting the Mooch about now. Those plants have sturdy  bases so they may start growing pretty quickly.

[Shawn]

Yes, I plan on adding Mooch this week.  And them being smaller I do not know if I need to top.  But if I do I dont know where on these.

[mike]

Unless they start shooting towards the lights after you add the Mooch, I wouldn't bother. These plants look like they will be 12" to 16" in height, as things are now.
