Windchicken 2013

That's a really clean setup! I saw those at Home Depot, but they were about $20 a piece for the germination kits. They looked like they were fairly well made. Definitely want to see how they turn out for you.

Thanks ss! It's great to see a NOLA grower here! Home Depot is where I bought the trays...Not cheap, but it beats having to re-seed a month later because I couldn't seem to manage the moisture levels (like I did last year)...

Hey Rodney! The overwinters are looking kind of scraggly right now, but I'll see if I can get some good shots...

Thanks, Charles...you know I had to grow that one! Two of my favorite chiles in one awesome honkin' huge, tasty pod...

Nice looking setup, I use 4 24 cell self watering trays and 2 72 cell self watering. As long as I keep a fan moving they work awesome! Good luck in 2013!

Hurray...Gary's Back!

I like that list , and you do have extras planted for each variety. I dig those permanest trays. I can have eight 5 1/4" pots in each . The trays support the weight fine especially if you have to carry them around. I could be carrying a heavy tray and all of a sudden have the urge to sneeze .....I don't have to worry about those folding up like an Accordian............ha

I remember last year when you posted up an early shot of your herb garden.....that looked so cool. I was just seeding my Basils and other greens...
Good luck with that spiffy grow setup..it looks great.....can't wait to see some plant photos!

Indiana_Jesse · Jan 30, 2013

I see you are sticking with the Aji Amarillo despite its challenges. Me too, it's just too tasty, it's like a delicacy, if I just get a dozen ripe pods (or even less) I'll be happy. This year I am keeping a couple in containers despite their monstrous size, as I had at least 40-50 green full size pods on each plant in the ground by the time a hard frost came and wiped them out. At least I will be able to bring them in and let them ripen if they are in containers. I did get about 2-3 dozen ripe pods through the season despite. Anyway back to YOUR glog...

Beautiful set up! Super clean. Good luck!

Thanks Chris! I've got the ceiling fan on in there. Chile plants seem to dig the flow, both in the soil and the air...

Thanks Greg! I do dig the nice sturdy trays...Who would of thunk that trays would be a big deal?

Wow, thanks for remembering--That was an awesome parsley bed...I put moss roses and heather in it after that, and never got back to the herbs...The other half of the patio beds were taken over by the "kitchen annuums," so I had to put in a few ornamentals for my wife...This year instead of the heather for the tall back plants I'm putting in sweet basil...The honeybees love it almost as much....

Thanks Stefan! I think I must check for hooks about 100 times a day, and I sowed the seeds only a couple days ago...
