Sunshine's super-mini Glog!

Hi everyone! I wanted to share my grow with you! even if it's a really small grow haha :)
So I planted a few seeds a month ago:
-2 bolivian Rainbow (Fatalii.net)
-3 Piri Piri
-2 Naga Morich (Fatalii.net)

Everything sprouted! :) or I forgot how many seeds I first planted haha ... but I know that everything I wanted to grow sprouted! :)

thanks :P
they are Mr. Forgerhills Money maker tomatoes :P haha I don't know if it's the right name but that's what's written on the package haha :P
 
Thanks! :P right now the spring is a bit late (it's snowing right now -_-) But I'm planning on building a raised bed garden and start hardening them off when the weather will be more adequate haha :P
Last year I just dryed my peppers but this year I want to try other way to enjoy them! :)
 
the grow continue :) they're getting bigger everyday!

Also I've seen a prunning method that I NEED to try! :)
it's kind of the same way you prune a pepper plant to produce a bonzai but instead of keeping it small you let it grow big! :)

Oh and I don't know if one of guys ever grown Goji berry and could tell me if mine looks healty .... it's all deformed but seems to continue tu grow ... haha
 
Time for an update! :)
So I started to prune some of my pepper plants and here are the results! :)
this is my Piri Piri

Great looking grow!  The only negative for having a lower grow count (besides fewer peppers to share) is that you can sometimes get into "too much love" mode with your plants when what they sometimes need is just to be left to their own devices.
 
Watching this thread!
 
nice looking plants!
 
one piece of advice for the gojis... Transplant them asap in very deep pots (at least 30cm deep - roots grow in depth), and as soon as they grow up to about 80-90 cm, just cut the tops (1-2 cm). This will make the plant to shoot side branches and that's where the berries buds will form.

They are definately looking good. Just in case, check their small tender tops for aphids (usually light brown or green ones)
 
thanks for the tip for the Goji locopao :) I'll definitly do that !
 
and about aphids ... I got an infestation right now D: do you have tricks to get rid of them? I tought about spraying with soapy water but will it be enough?
 
Just spray with full pressure. Or you can easily remove them by hand (aphids tend to infest just the 2-3 top tender leaves of the goji plant). No need to use chemicals for 3 plants. But you have to check in a daily basis.
 
Same goes for your pepper plants. It's more difficult though, since the infested leaves are usually the tiny new ones and they are too small for your finger/thumb to crush the aphids.

yeah .... I'm not sure anymore it's aphids because they fly .... but I looked at white flys and they does no look like that .... they are little black flying bugs ..... I sprayed my plants with soapy water and it looks like it solved the problem :)
 
 
Are you moving them outside soon ?

 yep I'm starting to harden them off :) the temps finally got ok for pepper plants to stay outside during the night haha :P
 
Today I had an horrific vision !
I was at work when I looked trough the window ..... and I saw snow...... D: 
hopefully my peppers were inside so they are allright :)
Even if it's supposed to be the best time of the year to start bringing your plants outside ,  mine will stay a little longer inside haha! :)
