romy6 2014

 So I guess it is about damn time I started a grow log! Not a whole lot going on at the ranch  :shh:  but hopefully that will change soon. I grow peppers all year around outdoors. I live on the central east coast of Florida. It has many ups and downs but more ups  :fireball: . Bugs such as mites and aphids are always a problem for me. Over the years I am getting better at diagnosing them at a early stage . This Christmas I was lucky enough to have santa bring me an aerogarden and some how managed to make it's nesting place on my kitchen table. I know this is short lived and I will need to find a safer resting spot for it. Here is a pic of my outdoor operation. Most of these plants are between 8 months or older.

 They look very haggard at the present moment. Lack of sunlight and low humidity will do that. But come spring they better bounce back into action.  :dance:
 
 Here is my little indoor operation. It isn't much but keeps me happy and grows peppers super fast. I planted a 7 pot lava( judy) , borg9( tmudder), yaki blue( nigel via standbyandfire), true cumari ( from judy) , defcon 7 ( tmudder), choc naga x brain ( me,via winchicken, via tmudder), and parsley for the boy :)
 
 First to pop was the 7 pot lava. Few days later the defcon 7. Yaki and borg both popped with helmet heads and I managed to kill them trying to remove. I just added a few more seeds in each pouch .

what is your final grow list? so far it sounds like it will be great year some very nice stuff already!! good luck
 
 Rob, I never have a yearly grow list like most of you. I just start seeds any time I feel like it. I already have about 40 mature plants so with lack of funds and space to maintain I just slow grow. Started some brown moruga, bubblegum , manzano, rocoto, jigsaw and my green hornet naga cross( a not jays red ) that are getting bigger . Also  a evil jonah from wayright .

Good to see your grow going Jamie! Always fun to watch!

Mike
 
Thanks Mike. I will let you know when I start your cross and keep you posted on how it grows.  :D
 
Dang more cold weather still.  It's been fairly warm here.  Not sure if were going to get any more snow till spring.  We usually get snow at the end of april and into may.
 
Looks great!  I look forward to seeing your plants grow out.  Here in Central East coast Queensland we get to grow year round as well, and in the ground.  I am not sure if it has ever got to freezing here.  The coldest I have personally seen is 46F in the dead of winter!

 Thanks for stopping in Jason. Your weather sounds somewhat similar to mine so I will be following your grow as well. Sounds a little better than mine  :)

I am still very blessed to have what I have. For those who missed last year here a few harvests. Hopefully I can get the same kinda yields this year.
