I would upload some pics but can some one please tell me how to upload some pictures, if some one can tell me how I would upload some pics, the camera I'm using a D 5000 Nikon Camera.
 
Well, I had very bad luck with those sites on trying to upload my pics, it just did not want to upload and when it did it made the page new and it kept telling me every time I tryed (10 times to be more specific...) kept saying upload failed...

I can't upload a pic right into the post I make? Or upload it to the site? Sorry, I dont really know that much about the whole pic uploading stuff.. I really wanted to show my pics with ya guys too, well quick update on my plants, my Black Pearl is doing good, its next set of leaves are setting in fast, my other pepper plants I'm trying to germinate at the moment are being lazy and still sitting in the dirt. Running low on my Dr. Peppy... oh, quick qeustion: whats your guys's opionion on starting seedling? I know I need to be patient with them to pop out of the dirt but you know, i just want try some real nice fresh peppers and veggies. Where I live things are kind of "fresh" not really the best but its better then nothing! kind of... but aye, seriously you guys can send me PMs about growing, I don't bite :P haha.

Ok thats it for me for now...
 
1st: Open a photobucket account (free)
2nd: Reduce the pictures to 300kb or less each and about 3.0" wide by 2.25" high.
3rd: Upload to your photobucket account, then name and save the pictures to your album.
4th: Go to your album and hover your cursor over the picture; a drop down menu will appear; click in the "Img." box to highlight the url; control c (copy).
5th: Go to the thread you want and control v (paste) in your post.
Repeat step 4 & 5 until you've DL'd all the pictures you want to your thread. Cheers.
 
Well if any one is intrested i think i might have some pics up! the ones i tryed to upload to photobucket are finally going through instead of screwing up in the middle of the upload, so gonna show some pics soon! :D

oh and would a pepper plants in a coffee can be productive? or will i have to move to bigger container?
 
Oh yea! Here's some pics :), the Black Pepper is kind of small still, not so sure how old, I'd say maybe 2-3 1/2 weeks old, and heres some other plants that I'm growing too :D, not so sure about where to put those other ones in so I'll just have them this thread for now I guess........

Oh, and these pics are old, I'll try to take some new pics of it, and they gotten bigger since these :D

my bell peppers I started to see if the seeds I got out of them would grow, and no I'm not gonna waste em :D I just had to see if seeds from store bought peppers germinated or not, and apparently all of seeds I threw in the dirt did haha

according to the masters here....

it depends on what variety of pepper... habaneros will be more productive and give you larger pods in at least 5 gallon pots. and probably so will your bell peppers.

the rest, you'd probably be able to get away with 2-3 gallon pots. =D


can't afford containers and i have enough space, so i'm gonna try my hand at raised beds.

well your plants are looking really healthy. from the looks of things, it's only a matter of time before you'll get something to harvest. =D
 
Well, its time for an update! :D

I was so suprised how much the Black Pearl grew so much in just 4-5 days! Any feed back on how it looks so far would be nice to here from you guys :). I still have no sprouts out of my peppers that I planted a little while back... Last night I decided to order some chili seeds and I think I went from 2-3 varieties to I think maybe 10...

The odd thing about my Black Pearl is that its not getting black or purple! The veins running through the leaves are getting color though, and the stem or stalk is getting dark too.


Here's my Bell Peppers

And thats it for now with the update! I think I'll measure out how tall and wide the Black Pearl is later on, and if someone can tell me a estimated ammount of days seeds will take to germinate and pop out of the soil with out a heating mat under it?
 
Woah not sure why but i just looked at the post and I noticed all the pics and title part are all diff.... mostly the pics, I'm not sure what happened there but I'll try to do something to fix the prob there.......
 
Ok....... I seriously have no idea whats going on with it but I went back to photobucket and copied all the img link pasted em, still nothing changed.... I think i'll just post all the pics i taken so far on here. Hope you guys like the pics! :)

my friend, a fellow member here siling_labuyo's black pearl seedlings aren't black either. so i have no clue if they're true or not. hehe.
