  Thanks Maligator, appreciate. First time building something like these. I'm looking forward to seeing progression too! :)

  Haha. Yes! Dear Lord, it took a few days to move it all....I don't want to do that again.....EVER!

A few updates....   Because I didn't want to try and connect to my existing irrigation system, I just rigged up a quick connect for the garden hose.   One of the valves in one bed. I only had a 4 spout connector, but it worked out well. I can use one of the extras if I decided to connect a hose...

Thanks Plantguy! :) You too.

  Thank you, appreciate it. If I recall, it was about $120 total, for the metal. About $180 for the cedar posts. I don't remember the cost for the planks, they weren't too much...maybe $50? The dirt was a veggie mix from a local place....at about $38-ish a cubic yard.....so about $600 for the...

  I don't know much about it. I had someone send some to me one time, as an extra. All I know is that they said it was a "tree," and kind of looked similar to maybe a bird pepper....buy larger.

  Peppers, peppers, and more peppers. :) Actually, here is my list:   I was lucky to get these going...as most of my seeds struggled to germinate this year. I did what I normally do, and a bunch didn't make it. I'm guessing they are getting a little old...not sure. 7 Pot - Bubblegum Antilles...

Thanks, appreciate it. :)       Yes, about 2 1/2 days. It was 16 cubic yards of veggie mix. 

Wife and I built our first raised beds over the past couple of weekends....              

So, as I mentioned before, I have been watering in moderation. However, I just watered my plants the day before yesterday, and now the plants look a little more yellow and a few lower leaves dropped. Any thoughts?

  Awww man! Bummer. Thanks Datil for the feedback, appreciate it. I'll edit my list and post.

Hi Everyone,   I crossed a few plants last year, and I've started my F1 seeds from those. I will do my best to update this thread with those.   Here are the crosses I'm growing this year. Devil's Tongue (Yellow) x Naga Brain F1 (Not) Black Naga x (7-Pot Douglah x Trinidad Scorpion Butch T) F1...

Thanks all, appreciate it. You don't think the PH is a little high?

I did the soil test, and the vinegar was VERY slightly bubbling....I heard it bubble just a hair.....I heard it more than I saw it bubble. So, it must be somewhere close to a PH of 7. Not sure if that would be enough to make the plants look like they do. I've attached a couple of photos for...

Found this great link on how to test PH without a kit. Pretty cool. Thank you for the tips all.   http://preparednessmama.com/testing-your-soil-ph-without-a-kit/

  Wow. That's a pretty big difference.

  I will try to get some photos later.  I have had these in cups for about a month to a month and half, and only watered them twice. I learned in my first couple of years not to over water. I typically wait until they begin looking sad, wilting if you will, before I water. Maybe too close to the...

Hey All,   I have a few seedlings...maybe a little older than that, experiencing some lower leaf drop, leaf curl, and a little pale. From experience, I believe this is a calcium deficiency. They are not over watered, I keep them fairly dry. I'm thinking of getting some Cal-Mag, but was thinking...

I think I'll have to look into composting in the future. I was talking a friend of mine, who uses nothing but ramial wood chips in his dirt, and his plants are huge and healthy. So, my plan, based on all of your feedback and his is to cut down those crape myrtle trees, lay them at the bottom of...

Ohhh, that would have been a great idea also, using the leaves. Too bad they are all gone now! :)
