The Reaper

I myself for one would consider myself to be an average gardener slowly learning the tricks of the trade seeing plenty of failures on the way. This lovely Carolina Reaper Pepper plant sure looks lovely though. Noganoo donated this one pepper plant last summer which gave me a decent yield. I wintered it inside on my back porch with very little sunlight at variable temp of about 50-55 degrees. I brought the plant outside near the end of May, for the first few weeks this year not much was happening then BAM!! The end of July comes and this baby sprouts out something crazy. This will be the third pick off of it this year. I am growing it in peatmoss/perlite mixture 5 gallon bucket in a rain gutter grow system- more on that later. Basically the water wicks from the bottom to give the plant water. These things are Hot!!!
