im in modesto CA and was wondering when fellow cali members are planning on planting outside.  

been a while...  heres a lil update.   everything is growing like mad. some of my herbs didnt sprout, and my choc habanero either... but i got a lot of goodies started.   i also have some manzano and yellow devil tongue sprouted.  

well, so far i got some jalapenos, brain strain, brown moruga, and naga morich have sprouted.  as for the other peppers, im being patient...  i got high hopes for them.  

well, my veggies are starting to TAKE OFF!     my peppers not so much. still no activity.  i got some more seeds in the mail, thanks to the generous members here.   ill post when we hook some peppers.       from what ive read, it takes around 2-4 weeks?

i thought my peppers were looking left out so i hooked them up with their own light.  they got a 13w  6500k  cfl now. i had the reflector left over from previous reptiles. 

Nice setups and good looking pants. When you use the tooth pick and stake the seedling down, does that slow their growth? I'm curious as I too may need to do this when some grow faster than others.

ya, i was surprised. its really nice peat/perlite nursery dirt.  cant wait to see how everything grows out.  i'll probably just use alaska fish juice and compost tea. maybe something to help out with the fruiting process as well.  we'll see.  just trying to keep it simple and fun. after trying...

this guy grew those plants with a SINGLE T5?!  nice!

got some of my seeds in,  big thanks to a local friend and forum user, brain strain pepper head for their generous donations   today the kid and i started all the veggie seeds as well as a few peppers. not sure how many more i'll do but, im off to a good start.   heres the boss giving the...

Thank you for the info. I was leaning towards pequin too. Thanks to a sasbe I should have some chiltepin this season. :-)

Im going to be starting mine within the next week or two. That will be all my veggies and peppers too. I think I'll have about 10 pepper plants and 50 or so veggie starts.

They look like these peppers. http://sustainableseedco.com/images/cache/b600a31b3d1be056fea704cad73cd7ec.jpg

A friend from work brought back some peppers that he thought were chiltepin but are too big. They have good flavor and pack a good bite. They are red and 3/8-1/2 inch long. I have one left, I'll try to get a picture up today. Can anyone try to help me figure out what pepper it was? I was...

Pm on its way.

the 3 beds get the later afternoon light blocked out by my house but they get good morning-mid afternoon light.  in the pics it was an overcast day. the pepper patch in back gets morning - sunset light, theres no trees or house blocking our light out there.   im adding another twin pepper bed...

got our dirt today,  as soon as i get all my seeds together i'll fire up my germination station.     heres the kid ready to start gardening.   :)     i went to a local nursery and found soil for 25 bucks a truck load and it looks to be a sphagnum/perlite/cocoa  mix.  super soft and spongy feel...

Sounds like I might have to add another row next to my pepper patch. That way I can start 1 of each variety I'm hoping to have. :-)

Thanks for all the kind words. Can't wait to sprout some seeds that a couple of you have donated .

this is the first time making a garden in our house we bought last year.   i  have a total of 4 raised beds 1 for all peppers.    last weekend i tilled and leveled the ground, i also put in the first 3 beds.  this weekend i bought more bricks and made the pepper patch out in the big backyard.  ...

Well, eating hit food is nothing new. I eat Indian and Thai regularly and order it hot. I've sampled some bites of some super hots and though it was hot, I enjoyed the experience. And the endorphin rush. I'm not just going to try and devour a plate of readers or anything but try to eat hotter...
