Happy Birthday Andy may your glass be filled and your belly full and your plants grow twice as fast.  Enjoy!

  That is the sweet spot for container size for me.  If I could grow one plant in a 16 gallon container or 4 plants in 4 gallon containers I would chose 4 plants every time.  It is the cycle of life for my plants, I add 1/2 ton of cow manure to my pots and they suck it out and give me pods for...

  That is my base Pro Mix BX just haven't added any new bales in many years.  My soils still has the peat like consistency but I have added to it years of compost and lots of organic Espoma garden tone in every container at planting and several more times through out the season.  At the end of...

  Those are 4 gallon black plastic nursery containers I grow in.  Thanks!      

Great harvest shots and just wonderful pictures of the school children learning to grow.  It is like give a man a fish feed him only for a day, teach him to fish and feed him a lifetime.  Those kids look like lifetime gardeners and all thanks to you.  Really helps you are in Miami and able to...

Damn mother nature that looks like a small twister touched down in your yard? Really hate it for you Scott but hopefully after a little straightening up and some days of nicer weather you won't even know it happened.  Makes you just want to yell out loud mad, but I bet some Californians would...

Little by little getting it done mixing dirt and potting up plants into mostly final containers.  I have 162 Chocolate Brain Strain in nursery pots outside in lots of compost still watching for which one will make candidates for seed plants.  That will mostly be chosen by pods shape and heat so...

Finally moving ahead and getting my first 100 plants in their final containers.  I have and am recycling all my old soil by adding 50 lbs. Black Kow compost to every 8 nursery containers I dump on a tarp, turn a dirt rake upside down and get all the old roots out and shovel back in the...

Get well soon buddy, the plants look super and growing fine.  Just want to say I am praying for you to get well so you can update your GLOG everyday again.  Be well Scott!

Just look at that big field covered in peppers this fall.  Your plants look exceptional Stephen, the house plants are all perky and seem happy.  The farm is beautiful and I hope some certain plants get a row all to themselves.  I have been on vacation and going to the Masters this weekend so...

The artist name is Brad Ramsey and he was a passenger on the cruise ship.  He is a fisherman from the Keys of Florida and was drawing and painting for relaxation and gave this sketch to me after he saw my passion for fishing.  I tried to buy but he only wanted a few beers in exchange.  My...

My plants are looking good thanks to my house sitter that is the reason my plants have stayed in small pots.  I am just home from a cruise to St. Maarten and put my trust in the weather and somebody who is not a plant person to just water my plants and am almost as excited as Wisconsin beating...

Thanks again for your comments.  Yes the roots will have to be loosened up when potting up so they don't stay the shape of the solo cups.  It doesn't seem to affect my plants leaving them in the solo cups at this stage as they are still growing.  I will be potting plants in their final homes...

I cannot believe that I have had my plants outside the whole month of March without moving them even once.  It has been overcast and raining for the last week so no planting anything up yet but won't be much longer.  I have been procrastinating the potting up until the first of April and till...

Just like a kid on Christmas this box was on my doorstep when I got home.  I knew right away who it was from with the Illinois outer tape and he sent this without asking.  In my package I receives three fermented hot sauces # 6, 8, 9 and Taco, Roasted Red Hot, and BBQ sauce w/ smoked red...

Happy Birthday Mikey!  Twist a few hog legs for the occasion my brother.

The weather has been gorgeous the past few weeks and I don't remember keeping my plants outside so many days in March before.  I don't know anything about CMH lighting but your plants seem to like it very much and they show it.  I hope you chose a Choco Brain Strain for the full hydro treatment...

Those newest ferments look terrific love the combinations of ingredients in the ferments.  I ferment just the peppers and add other ingredients when cooking my sauce but I like how your fermenting everything before processing.  Those ferments look so fresh I'd want to open up and taste them...

Not much to report on the pepper this week except they have been outside the last 10 days hardening off.  What I did do this weekend was tons of yard work trimming trees and tilling the garden and potting up some maters.  Also laid the weed fabric down and started putting pepper plants out in...

Your garden is about as big as an Olympic size swimming pool I just want to dive in and swim all around.  We have not had any weather below 50F at night here so my plants have stayed outside all week.  They are fully hardened off but like you I won't feel safe for another couple weeks to plant...
