My bigger Peppers have all been moved out into the coldframe, where they seem to be flourishing. It's lovely to see the frame full of greenery!
I have two smaller Ancho Peppers just recently moved from their seedling tray into bottle SIPs in the windowsill.
I looked pics of these up online to see what kind of pepper ancho is and was surprised. They looked just like the peppers I got last year that A. said were poblanos. A little googling gave me the answer to this: they're the same pepper. Fresh ones are called poblanos, when they're dried more often called ancho.
The Bell Peppers have gotten so large they almost don't fit in the coldframe anymore:
It's rather cool to see the roots growing, through the clear sides of the bottle SIPs. But I do wonder how easily I'll get the plants out of there when its time to put them in the ground...
It should be easy to just cut the bottle off.
