Never seen air roots on peppers before. Interesting.
Made a horrible mistake. Let porcupine tomato outside for sun. Now it's really scary.
Wow. I just got sprouts out of pepper seeds that had only been on the plant for 2-2.5 weeks.
I planted five of my new pepper seeds expecting a high germination rate, and ten of my really old ones expecting a lower rate. Guess which one came up more?
Jaltomata procumbens cuttings are done.
Vacuum cleaners work on spider mites as long as you keep the leaves from tearing. Unfortunately my test subject was made of knives and now my hands hurt.
What's the minimum temperature peppers can take?
I found one seed left of one of my favorite plants in a drawer. If it germinates I'll be so happy.
Something's wrong with my prickly nightshade. It's only making murder spikes on the top growth point, not all of them.
One of my habaneros is either a lot dumber than I thought, or a lot smarter.
Going through my seed drawer and found a bunch labeled "Genghis Khan" and "Apocalypse." I forgot I had those.
Way back in July I had a purple jalapeno that wasn't ripening. Eventually I just laughed and said any time this year would be nice. And sure enough, with nine hours left in the year, the pepper is ripe now.
48 degrees. Indoors. Peppers are fine, other plants don't like.
Solanum pyracanthum does have a use. Bury the dead leaves and squirrels will learn to stop digging there.
Geeme was right. Solanum pyracanthum are prickly little bastards. Still fun to grow though.
A purple jalapeno set fruit after exactly one flower. That has to be a record or something.
Titan arum just went nuts on root production. Looks like it's not planning on sleeping anytime soon.
Time to start putting things outside.
It's a little bit cold here.
