Thanks Lazie. There have been lots of challenges (learning opportunities) but that's what makes it so rewarding.

I appreciate all the support. Nothin' wrong with gardening "au naturel". :D The race is a long one and we are just getting started. Already had one casualty. Found a small caterpillar/worm on a seedling. Nothing left but a stem. Down to 3 each in hydro and soil but they are good ones.

:rofl:

Matters of opinion can't really be debated. You can't account for taste or lack thereof.

I ate the JHC cross pod yesterday that was ripe. Pod size was smaller than either parent and tasted more like Peppermania Purple than the JHC. I'd say it is the tastiest "ornamental" pepper I've eaten. The plants are nice with light purple flowers some purple on the stems and foliage. I'm...

Is this the model you're looking at? That looks like it might work nicely to clone peppers but I doubt it is really big enough to grow to maturity. My full grown pepper plants completely fill a 5 gallon bucket with roots and would grow more if given room.

Thanks all for the kind words. :) The overwintered plants kept me supplied with fresh peppers all winter but now the plants grown from seed this season are way ahead of them in pod production. Not at all what I expected. They just stalled out when I planted them out and haven't really done...

Everybody has their own ideas about this so, here's mine. My plants don't seem to care if I feed them "bloom" formula or "growth" formula. I try to keep them actively growing from the beginning with a balanced fert. I think getting the plants big enough to support a large crop has the best...

Everything looks great. :clap: If those aji cristal are going too slow, go ahead and try one. I think they are pretty good before fully ripe.

That's a great idea. I think those gel caps are available here at the pharmacy. I gotta go look. Thanks for sharing this! :dance:

Thanks Bleash. I think the severe aphid infestation earlier this season is at least part of the reason for the bushy plants. The aphids basically topped them for me. Even though I planted 4 to 8 weeks earlier this year, I'm probably that many weeks behind in ripe pod production. Also, I...

Things are looking great! Got the Fatmax in there too. :lol: I'd sure like to trade for some of those rhombo seeds if you ever offer any up. Your plant is a real beauty.

This little Biker Billy Jalapeno is the smallest plant but is just loaded with pods: More Yellow Scorpion SR outdoors. Thanks Chris! These resemble yellow 7 pods even more: 7 Pot Barrackpore: The F1 Jamaican Hot Chocolate X Peppermania Purple. Looks like I'll soon get to taste this...

The container patch: This bed was 'maters last year. It gets a little shade part of the day. The overwintered plants: This is the Fatali from the water farm drip bucket. It's just now starting to take off after going back to soil this spring. 3 overwintered pubes and 3 new from...

Took some garden pics today. Time to share. :) Thanks to Patrick's description about the Primo or Jonah question, I'm pretty sure the plant in dwc is a Jonah. I have a Primo from another source setting pods now and it is quite different from the one in the greenhouse. These I'm gonna call...

Here's a little update. Pretty slow growin' right now but expecting that to change soon. Same one just a little closer pic: I have 4 of these going in hydro. Still have 3 or 4 more I'll put in some good old fashioned dirt soon. Not worried about the hardening off process. They've been...

Great garden! What kind of a beast do you pull the subsoiler with? Love tractor pics. :cool:

Had the first ripe yellow scorp from the garden with breakfast. Still my favorite tasting pepper.
