PaulG 2016

Okay, back in the saddle again.  I checked out of this forum last September,
when my wife and I went on an 8-week vacation.  We had a blast, then I came
home to two months of yard work to catch up on, and holiday season to
contend with   :doh:   
 
I just this week finished grinding up all the dry pods from last season.  Managed
to get my seeds in to soak on Jan. 15th, and into the Jiffy Pellets on Jan. 16th.
I'm going for fewer varieties this season, but 3 or 4 plants of most varieties that
I grow out.  No small pod peppers this year, just too labor intensive for the results,
although I have some awesome small pod powders laid away.   Speaking of which,
I have so much powder I'm considering packaging and selling some this summer.  
I'm going to try to sell my fresh pods this Fall, so maybe no more powder production
until I need some, and then, just my favorites.

Thanks for the kind words, but luck always figures into the equation at least a little!
 
The list is small, but consists of my favorites from the past four seasons.
It's good to be back on the forum, though I'll probably complain about not having
enough time to dedicate to following everyone's grow logs!  
 
Good growing your way, my friend

Thanks, bro - will check out your grow log to see what's going on.  I've found
Black Gold Seedling Mix or Jiffy Pellets to work best for me.  Get about the
same results with both.  My germination rates really shot up when I started
using a heat mat.
 
Good luck going forward.

Ahhh!! But 39 is an odd number... do you not find 40 a much more elegant number?  :party:

It is, but elegance is not one of my strong suits   ;)

Thanks for the welcome and kudos, you are very kind, indeed.
 
I hope you have a stunner of a season, as well.  Your pizza creations
are getting better and better; the pics are mouth-watering good!
