Usually I complain about Gethsemane but their hab seedlings have been very vigorous this season.    All habs still growing and a lot of green growth.

TL;DR The above pic is a 2 gallon bucket dump of habeneros harvested today.  More to come.

<strong>Update</strong>:  I'm not complaining about red habeneros.  The red habs are hotter and more desirable than  yellow habs in my opinion.  Gethsemane used to differentiate between the two with their tags and now they only tag them as yellow.  I'm happy they're really red because that's what I want.  Will be back next year.

I may have been overcrowding habeneros in the past.  Plants seem bigger with more habeneros because I'm allocated more cuft root space.  I used to allocate 1 cuft/plant and now I'm up to 1.5 cuft/plant and the production is the same but with less plants.  Therefore, the numbers of actual plants doesn't matter as much as the total container size growing that type of plant.  Next season I'll experiment giving a habenero 2 cuft root space and see what happens.
