    Mulch type

    I applied shredded red cedar when my plants looked to be getting worse from the intense heat in the Vegas.  Once I applied the mulch and put in an afternoon shady spot, they improved significantly.  Don't have any problems with weeds and I've noticed less pests.  Pics to come soon....

    2nd year growing peppers in Vegas.

    After weeks of my plants suffering through intense heat in Vegas (95 degrees plus for more then 6 hours a day) I decided to move them to a shady spot about a month ago.  There they get a few hours of filtered sunlight in the morning and I've been fertilizing with liquid Bonnie Plant and Herb...

    Golf anyone?

    The number 1 thing you should think about when it comes to golf is not taking it seriously.  I grew up in a super athletic family and my parents always pushed me to do sports.  Mostly, I just wanted to ride dirtbikes and learn how to play the guitar.  But I eventually started playing sports...

    I want to grow my ideal pepper....suggestions please.

    I wanna grow a pepper that is really good for pickling like a pepperoncini but has more of a citrusy taste and is slightly hotter (between Jalapeno and Habanero on Scoville Scale).  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

    Hello From Vegas!

    We have a really awesome grocery store that has started selling a lot of pepper varieties including super hots (Scorpion, Ghost)  I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

    Palm Leaves/Fronds as mulch

    Would Palm Leaves/Fronds make a good mulch for container growing in hot and dry weather?  I wouldn't bother trying to break down the spine part of the leaves due to not having a chipper but I bet a leave mulcher could break down the leaves If done right.  I have to trim a lot of the Palms in the...

    Any suggestions for my Habanero Plant?

    I did use some epson salt about a week ago but with no positive results.  Did about 2 table spoons of epsom salt to a spray bottle and soaked the leaves good.  I did not use the whole spray bottle.  Should I wait it out a little more or could I use the following next time I water...

    Any suggestions for my Habanero Plant?

    Not sure why leaves are starting to curl and drop a lot on this plant.  This has started to happening once pods started to develop.  I did notice that the soil takes longer to drain then my other plants such as Jalapeno and Thai (which are doing well) but is this a calcium deficiency?  I see no...
