  Man those look beautiful!

Those Assam Bhuts - that's a really pretty picture.  The plants look so nice when they all ripen up like that.   The Frutescens - I am not the biggest fan of Frutesens pods, but the plants that I've grown have been consistently beautiful plants.  Yours looks that way too, nice, green and full...

  Thanks Rick, my being so busy has kept me from this website more than I'd like, but it's been a good year for growing things.         The garden is so much better than the previous two years, I am so thankful.  The past two years were a bit depressing.  This year things are going crazy!   Good...

  Thanks! Yeah, those tractor tires are really working out.  I think they will be a good long term solution for me.   I think with the chickens I'll be able to use them more for insects in the fall and spring - once stuff is either put away for the winter or not in yet.  If we get a rooster out...

I'd never heard of the Spanish plume - had to look it up.  Looks like it gives you high temps and maybe severe storms?  Have you gotten the bad storms from it?  I looked at my Schneider Farm SB's and they looked a bit different, which makes me afraid they crossed, even though I isolated them...

Looking great Rick! It seems like your weather is usually similar to ours over here in Michigan.  We've been hot and dry too.  Looks like you've gotten some rain along the way though?  We are having one of those years where storms miss us north or south be like 20 miles either way.  Weather...

Things are looking good!  How's the heat been for you guys this summer?

I've been meaning to get to this glog for a long time - glad I finally did.  Wow! Love the jungle!  I've had those Aji Pineapples go crazy like that too.  It's amazing how big, or long or whatever they get.     Anyway, great work!

Things are looking good! I bet you're bogged down with garden work - holy cow that's a huge garden!  We just got into chickens this year as well.  I was surprised by how much I am enjoying them.  I hope things are going well.

  Thanks Paul! They are rockin' now.     Thanks Rick - I have Aji Cito, Aji Habanero, Aji Melocoton, Aji Peruvian, Bishops Crown, Brazialian Starfish, Orange Starfish, and Aji Fantasy.  I had some Aji Citos just last week, mixed with pasta.  I love them.  I haven't had the soapy taste in the...

Once again, I've been away from the glogs too long...  Looks like you've got that bacterial spot at bay.  At least you're getting some nice harvests. I enjoyed seeing the development of that bonchi - very cool. And those rocotos looked huge.  I bet they are wonderful.

Man, I've been off the site too long - so much has gone on.  Sorry for your plant struggles - on the other hand, it is great to see you back at it this year!  That dragon fly is amazing.  Beautiful.   I'm am constantly amazed at how different our seasons and cycles are from each other.  You're...

  I actually just used the comfrey tea tonight for the first time. I smells terrible and the stench stays on my hands for a long time.  That's the downside.  It is a good fertilizer though.       Thanks Rick!      Thanks Jamie - the seed you sent has worked out great.  Excited to see how the...

Finally caught up with the glog - looks like you got off to a great start.  I hope things are going well!

Looking great once again Charles! 

  Thank you. Yeah, I love using it.  A lot of it is pine, so I think I'll let that sit for a year and compost in place.     I really like the comfrey, I'll have more below, but besides food for bees, it's great to make a fertilizer out of it.       Thanks, things are coming nicely now.  I'm...

  Thank you!      Thanks - I think that the black rubber will heat up the soil nicely.  The issue will be drying out.  We'll see how it goes.  Last season the soil took too long to warm up.  That shouldn't be a problem this year.   What is the story behind the peach SB?  I'm excited to see how...

  They seemed to work just fine.  The ones that screwed into the socket were too much for being that close to the plants though and they burned the leaves.       It took a bit up here for things to warm up, then last weekend they finally did and it's been hot all week.  So the last two days have...

  Cool - I'm just north of Lansing.  So we're in similar areas climate-wise.  I think this summer should be warmer than the last so it may be a good year for the peppers!      Dirt day is usually around Memorial Day - give or take.  I always want to get them into the ground earlier, but the cold...

  That is awesome! Should be good seed stock - I love getting seed with a story and connection to someone - very cool! Should be interesting to see how it grows for you.   By the way, still loving how your garden looks with all the mulching and everything.
