Looks great and love the oak cubes idea. I’ve got a ferment going from last week of Tabasco peppers, sweet peppers and salt brine. Look forward to seeing yours turn out.

Great color and sauce sounds delicious. Well done!!

Great update JJ!! Love the plants you got in post 235!! Looking great!! Love the sloped garden area you got too, Very nice you got lots of space!! Hope things continue to progress well for you!!

Started three type of tomatoes today.  Never grown either of them so I figured I would give em a try:   Gardener's Delight   Mortgage Lifter Jet Start Hybrid   Hope everyone has a good grow this year!

    Thanks!! Oh I can relate to your situation the only places here that I can call my own are the garage and my back yard and yes I get to cut the grass too!! Everywhere else here belongs to my wife and 2 kids.  The backyard has served me well for maintaining the garden and as you can see full...

  Peter, Thanks! They are coming along nicely so far I believe.  The soil mix I am using is ProMix BX with Myco.  I bought one of those big 3.8 cuft bags last year and am using the same bag again this year too.  I think its good soil.  Can be pricey but it is very easy to work with too.  

POT UP TIME!!! I spent a few hours yesterday potting up all of my sprouts from my seed tray to cups and getting them under the lights.  Got the number of plants that I planned except only 1 7 Pot and 1 Trinidad Scorpion after 20 days in the tray.  I am going to keep what I planted of those two...

  When I have transferred the seedlings from my seed tray to Solo Cups and put under my lights I have used ProMix BX with Myco.  Used it last year and again this year...good soil in my opinion.  

    I have seen those around here too.  I am no expert but I do believe that is a stink bug.  I can't remember them ever causing me problems in past seasons but I read they do like to eat and can damage peppers.  Of course best to remove him like you did.  I hope you don't see anymore anytime soon!!

Day 14 in the seed tray and my Trinidad Scorpion has finally gotten its first hook.  Looking to get another 4-5 hooks for the garden.  The Fatali and CR Habs have hooked in the past few days too.  I am impressed my Ghost Peppers I got 7/8 seeds to hook.  Gotta love it saved seeds from last year...

Looks good.  I am at 14 days today and still waiting for my first TS to sprout.  That is the only pepper here that I have not seen any hooks.  Last year was my first year growing TS and I really liked them a lot.  Definitely hot.  Hope these turn out great for you!!   Mike

Wow great looking plants and excellent setup!  Your pepper list looks real good.  I can relate to the wife perspective mine doesn't like anything about chili peppers even though she knows I am addicted!  Best of luck over there to you!!

Hello there fellow Carolinian!! Just wanted to say hello and tell you your plants look really good.  Just got started over here about two weeks ago but this recent winter weather definitely has me with gardening on my mind.  Hope you have a great season this year!!   Mike

Last year I decided to turn a 20x20 ft plot of my bermuda grass backyard into more of my garden.  The other part was raised beds.  I chopped out the grass, roto tilled the entire area several times and come April planted many tomato, green pepper, beans, and pea plants.  It really did not take...

Nice plants you got there!! I grew Yellow Fatali last year and will this year again too.  Awesome plant with lots of peppers throughout the year.  When do you plant out over there? Welcome to the forum and hope 2014 is a great year for you too!!
