Yippee! Right before the frost that I allowed to kill my one garden, I half hazzardly threw a large thick clear tarp over my other garden! My pepper plants look as wonderful as on a warm summer day! Just harvested tomatoes today also! The tomatoe plants don't look as good as the peppers, but...

Got this for free the other day and it will be delivered tomorrow.  I plan on using this for my cherry trees next year, but I wonder if this would help with other critters such as rabbits or deer.  In case I forget to turn my water scarecrows back on one day.     And we do have cherry and yellow...

Now that is the question.  I already know the answer to this but I thought some of you may get a kick out of this.   The other day, I was tickled pink to see some new recent visitors to my butterfly bushes.  We do have some bees, but not a whole lot.  Except...  This little buggar was mutated...

Bought a Burpee bell pepper variety pack of seeds since I like surprises. Lo and behold, at least one plant is starting off with non green peppers. Never knew this could happen. Many sites say they all start off green. But I did find others that say otherwise. Anyways the peppers are creamy...

Don't know if I really need this, but I had to have one.  :hot:   Was at home Depot the other night and saw this handy dandy gizmo.  It is a probe that is a PH, moisture, and light meter.  Plus, it needs no batteries!   I was running around sticking this in every pot and garden.  LOL....  I am...

I have two water scarecrows which guard my 2 gardens from the deer. But the other night, a rabbit chewed off 4 of my pepper plants and just left them there. Obviously they were the Jalapeños since for some strange reason they love the things. The next morning I go to take my cats outside and...

Ok now that I have proven that I can grow hot peppers fine, I want to amp things up a bit. Could anyone suggest a hot pepper between 8,000 and 30,000 scovales, that is as useable, prolific, and wonderful as Jalapeños, but an oddessy in the garden? In other words, unique... I give a lot away...

Been looking at prices here and there on dehydrators since I was planning on dehydrating peppers this season.  And just as I was ready to purchase, I noticed that an often ignored dehydrator went down in price!  It appears that Presto did this on purpose.   So I bit, and am quite pleased.    The...

Been watching and waiting, watering and tending, and now, it is finally, HARVEST TIME!  Well, just my first small batch of stuffing peppers.  Got some Hungarian wax and hot banana for stuffing...  YUM!     But OMG do I have a green thumb!  Although I have to admit, that I had a large setback. ...

Interesting question here...  My lemon drop peppers seem to need more calcium than my other pepper plants.  (May as well give them all a treat though...)  Now I figure, why buy something if you don't have to?  I have a HUGE bag of pelleted Dr Soil lime left over from when we used to do our lawn...

For nearly a week we have had torrential downpours, cool weather, and little sun. Every last one of my 50 peppers are still in pots. I figured no hurry since they all have room to grow. But geez... I wanted to have at least 1/3 in by now. I was figuring on 3 plantings depending on size...
