Plant cilantro in early September , spinach too Here's my 4x10 bed last Christmas day. Spinach in the back only took up about 2x5 This was March 11. Picked as needed, the last of it was on May 15 as it was starting to bolt. Just in time to fill the space with peppers. May 19 j

You are in a great zone for winter-growing Others. Spinach was my fall sown winner for this spring, but cilantro also so excellent. May need a light cover, but it actually helps prep the soil for Peppers 2023.

@Uncle Eckley , Yeap.

I've mostly done raised beds in recent decades, but Charles Dowding is an old market gardener who cuts to the chase on growing veggies. Basically he scalds the ground with plastic if it's sod and weeds, this can take a season. Then he removes the plastic, covers the area with cardboard, heaps...

Most certainly. The first 3-20 pages of this thread cover the topic pretty well but no doubt the other 700+ pages have something to glean. InTheGarden, the author, knows practical theory very well, and teaches when you can and can't be flexible but always aiming toward great results the...

Welcome to Pepperlandia. :welcome: Plenty of shoulders to lean over and learn from around here. This is where I learned/learning. With plenty of time to prepare you have time to make top-grade potting media for that 2+ cy of mix you'll need for those 50 bags. That's almost $1500 worth for the...

Been hot for a few days, 90ish, and I've ran the drips. Sweet bed is looking sweet 12 days after transplanting. Especially with a couple of rose bushes photobombing. Last year seems transplants took a little longer to get in gear, but even the hots are doing better this year. And yes, we...

Whew! Hot out there. Only 80 but I'm not acclimated yet I suppose. Forecast is for some 90's over the weekend giving way to 70's and rain next week with warm nights. I'm mostly finished getting peppers in the ground. The sweet bed (mostly) finished yesterday 18-Carmen F1 4-Jimmy Nardello 3-...

Hey Paul, I collected some your your Mattapeno seed from the last train and they exhibited white very early. Also it's entirely likely I've mis-seeded, but what I labeled as your Giant Jalas exhibited white, so if there is a chance of a cross, be on the look-out.

Where does the time go? I've been in hand-to-hand combat with aphids for at least a month. The peppers have been moved outside to harden, though we are still dipping into the 40s. The wind and ladybugs seem to have the turned the tide, though every pepper I have deserves a purple heart. None...

Wow that's a tremendous set on the blueberries!

Wow, that is a bushy booger.:shocked: If you topped it,it would go wild.

Real nice looking grow you have going, GYO. I topped some of my far-too-early seedlings mainly because of shelf height. It does slow them down a tad as they shift energy into pushing new side shoots, but that's kind of what I was looking for.

Great looking plants, Sulsa. I can't get over the beautiful color of your leaves.

I too like a storied pepper, I think I might be able to get something going this year. Definately next. PM Sent

The last wave, the Annum Class of 2022 is well popped at 11 days. Shot a few blanks, but overall pretty good germ rate. Most of the fails were old seed I was giving one last chance. I'll have to push something out the door to make room for this and some eggplants that are ready to up-pot. As...

Same weather over here cross the mountain. Wind has been brutal as usual too. Almost got a pot of onion seedling I forgot and left out. Weather looks decent on the 14-day forcast. I haven't drop a tomato seed yet. Bean-wise, I'm giving Trail of Tears, and maybe Contenders another try. Have fun...

They are can be resilient but, most don't transplant that young. Only time will time. Not to much bright light until they show improvment. Good Luck. We all lose a few. j

If MoA are up there for you (as they are for me), you should check-out Papa Dreadie Scotch Bonnets. Slightly less heat, slightly more citrus. There's a memorial thread active. Check it out.
