Hey guys! So I expect all of my pepper and tomato plant will probably be dead by the end of October. So was wondering if anyone in a zone 7 area has had any luck growing winter veggies in buckets? If so, what kinds? It gets fairly cold with some snow at the end of January, but its cloudy...

Well Guys, it looks like the season is coming to an end. I dont see a 70deg day in the future and its only going to get colder and here comes the rain. Had issues with a few days over 90deg, a wind storm that broke the stem of the tomato plant in the orange bucket at the dirt line. Funny, it...

Hey Guys! You know its kind of funny. Here I am thinking Ive screwed up so bad with these plants that they will never produce, or at least not this year and.. YAY! And more flowers are producing pepper buds! These are picked at between 1 and 2 inched for culinary reasons. Its nice to see that...

Padron and tomatoes in the morning! A few days ago I sprayed them down with a mix of water, diatomaceous earth, FF Grow Big and Big Bloom. Killed the heck out of the gnats that were infesting the tomatoes. Washed the leaves off a bit last night. Here comes the hot weather finally...

Hi Guys! Its been about 12 days since my last post. About a week ago I stuck a chop stick into the buckets and continued my effort to break up the clumpy soil around the roots. Just wiggled them around a bit in 14 different places. Then they had their first flush! I was wonderful to see the...

Lol, Ive never had padrons before. I like to make bombas and I wanted something to go with them. But itll be young green and seared in olive oil with sea salt.. So yesterday I couldnt stand it anymore, lol. I didnt like the soil my plants were in so I gave them another transplant. This is...

Thanks for reading Flavor T. Lol. My grow is just a sad little quest for padron peppers. If I could get you to next day fedex me some Id probably stop and lick my wounds.. Nah, I wouldnt do that. Enjoying the grow!

Hi guys! Ive got some transplanting to do soon with some plants coming into growth stage. Banana peppers and tomatoes. Also maybe my 3 4mo. old plants as they were started in gardening soil and it isnt draining well. Ive been looking at a pre mix potting soil from Carpintino Brothers, North...

Hi guys.. So first is current grow space with cherry tomatoes and banana peppers. This was the grow area for my padron before they went outside So they doing pretty good. My Padrons arent doing so well. Back story is cold and wet temps between 48 and 75deg outside. 5gal bucket still wet after a...

I donno about peppers, but Im pretty sure I played Unreal Tournament in that castle ;)

Hope yours are growing good too Dawg! So this is 1 1/2 days outside, full sun for about 5hrs. They are now creeping into the shade pocket. They currently are getting morning sun at around 8am and then into the shade 1pm until the next day. They also got about a cup of Foxfarm 3way each they day...

Well it seems the wet cold is staring to go away. FAST! Been playing with the Padrons, and at least have a draw. They are growing good and the weather is going to go from cold windy wet to no breeze, double the temp, sunlight in your face. Funny thing a few weeks can do.. I took them out into...

I dont want to be the bummer. You will probably need to bring in heavy insecticides for this problem if its true fire ants. You already know that the different methods only move them to a different area. You need to find the hive and nuke it. Im sorry I cant tell you how to do that.

For me, its Padrons obviously. Being said I have some banana peppers starting so looking forward to them as well. Grocery, Hatch peppers. We get them in for a few weeks in this area and I look forward to having them on hand!

I would love to have that for breakfast twice a week. Looks Yummy! Using chicken is a good idea since it readily absorbs other flavors without being intrusive as pork or beef might have..

After posting some concerns, and getting advice from a few other boards, the consensus is let it ride. Root damage, Wet soil and Lighting. Recent transplant. Im going let the soil dry out over the next few weeks and then hopefully the weather will allow me to put them outside full time. No one...

Looks like advice from this and other forums say nothing much wrong and let it ride. That what Im going to do.. Thanks to all!

Ok, I think I hit a snag or two.. This will just be one plant as they are all showing the same symptoms(?) When I transplanted a week ago, I tore some roots that were bound around the bottom of the pots they were in. They still had a decent cluster, but I lost some of the longer ones. This how...

Hi Stur. Reptile heat lamp or a small space heater maybe..

Lol. Back in '04 it was probably a good size roast.
