We are hitting those temperatures regularly now.  Plants dont seem to mind at all.  Most of our seed stock is container grown so I can isolate easily.  The black nursery containers seem to dry out faster with this heat and sun, but as long as they are watched and watered even they do fine under...

Saw a video with Jim Duffy.  He was showed compost in a bucket that he was reusing.  Not sure why, but I dump my containers into the garden after one season of use.  Have never thought to use it for more than a year.  My compost is usually wood, leaves, grass, and some duck poop.  I imagine...

First year growing Tiny Thai.  I have a couple in 3 gallon containers and others in the ground.  The ones in containers are actually doing better / growing faster because the medium is nearly pure mulched yard waste n duck poop.  Everything I have read about Tiny Thai says they only reach a foot...

A day without rain? What is this dry stuff?

On the down side, we are a month or so out.  On the upside you asked about scorpions and I am almost to completing my color collection this year.  Still looking for white, but in addition to the normal like red, yellow, and chocolate we have lemon lime, green, mustard, and I think a couple...

I dont have a favorite to grow or eat anymore.  There is something broken in my brain that makes me want to try new things each year.

What I love most about Jalapeno is the diversity.  Before moving the farm more towards peppers, I had no clue.  A Jalapeno was a Jalapeno I thought.  Oh how very wrong I was.  For non stuffing, my favorite is probably farmers.  It is like a concentrated bell pepper.  For stuffing, I like to go...

I often get an early wave of pods in the grow room.  Someone here mentioned what might be an evolutionary survival thing.  Early pods when the container is too small / plants get root bound.  So I am not sure about number 9 on that list.  Maybe it is a different stage of life sort of thing. ...

I know the moruga scorpion is a brain strain thing was going around for a bit, but I think it was settled as not true.  For my own experience, moruga scorpion seems larger and less uniform in size.  Some folk claim it is native to moruga in Trinidad but other references claim it was first...

You live and you learn.  I've been changing the slope of our land for about 10 years.  Putting in catchments, establishing rows to catch the run off and prevent standing water by moving it to the catchments.  Am wondering if there are other folk who have gone a similiar route.  Its the down pour...

More rain. We are now an island in lake Kentucky

My guess is that the closest would come from Jim Duffy.  He is the one who provided the seed for the CPI testing that decided it was the hottest in the world.  Thing is, I am still a bit unclear on the many names as references contradict each other.

  I am glad someone else here knows first hand what I mean about the people. It is so hard to put into words.  When there is a good weekend, it is good for everyone.  When it is not such a good weekend, its not so good for everyone.  It winds up forming some kind of bond.    I managed to get on...

We had another great weekend at the Kentucky Renaissance Festival.  Its not that we are rolling in money, but we did OK and had a great time.  It is hard to describe to folk who dont do something similar.  I built the shop about 13 years ago, before their first season.  It is thirty foot by...
