You said you did a manure tea - just a pillow case, 55 gallon drum and how did you aerate it?  I'm so far behind the 8 ball with this new garden soil I have it's killing me and I need to get my plants going.  I gave them some diluted comfrey tea on Monday and plan to keep that up for awhile, but...

Wow your plants look great! Great score on the Lilac - and glad it could have a good home.  Also, those are interesting marigolds you've got.  Are they a variety that brings in the beneficial nematodes?    The not orange 7 has a shape that reminds me of the cili goronongs that I grew a few years...

Tons of pods and some crazy stuff with the mystery volunteer and the weird lemon drop... That fatalii bonchi is pretty cool - very thick trunk on that one. 

Love those lilies! Nice mix of color.   And your pepper plants are looking great and healthy!

You're rolling right along Jamie with great stuff as always.  Love seeing the cotton - that's pretty cool.      That's a mean looking pod - what is it?

I hope things hold up well while you're away.  Things are looking pretty good right now.  You'll be swimming in pods in a month.

I don't know how you do it either.  And not only living at sea, you come home to water all around your plants! Nice to see some pods coming in for you though, and those creature shots are great as usual. 

Wow that's tons of pod shots.  Looking great as always Charles.  That Galap cross looks like a cool plant as well.

  I think they get pretty big up here. I'm interested to watch it grow as well.  It is supposed to be good for colds and what not if you make a tea from the blossoms or berries.  I'm with you on the peach bhuts - great flavor and beautiful pods. Good luck on the Nagas!     Thanks Jamie, good to...

  Thanks! I've had 2 red rocotos ripen and they were wonderful! But my Rocotos are in their 3rd season, so they've got a jump start.  I did just have a Yellow Manzano ripen and I tried that and it was great and hot.  It caught me off guard as it was very juicy and when I chewed it some of the...

Those nagabrains are beautiful looking peppers.  Incredibly hot I'm guessing?

That looks like the yellow brain strains I've grown.  Beautiful looking peppers.   And the Aji Pineapple looks great - that's another great pepper.

We've had a great deal of rain the past week or so and some decent heat, so things are picking up.   Already I think I am getting further than I got last year, so I'm feeling good.  It looks like the plant roots have caught and I have a ton of new growth on most plants.   Here is a Peach Bhut SS...

    We ended up with a good batch of syrup, in part because a parishioner had several buckets of extra sap they collected that they weren't going to boil down, so we got 1-2 gallons by the time I was done.  And, of course, it tastes great!   You're cooking looks top notch once again!

I'm just amazed at the growth you get out of those containers.  I have always wanted to put stuff in the ground because mother nature can take care of a lot of my mistakes, so I've always admired what you container guys can get done.  Those look amazing.

Plants are looking great, I think.  And you've got some pods already - awesome!   Someone mentioned your reviews above - I've enjoyed them too.  But man can you handle an insane amount of heat.  You make it look easy.

Man those plants are looking great! Nice and healthy, bushy with thick stems.  You got off to a great start for being in a colder climate.  Those flowers on the Chinense are awesome.  Oh yeah, and your food stuff always makes me hungry, so there's that.

  Thanks RIck. The iso peppers are probably 15 yards or more apart.  I know that's not foolproof, but there are a lot of plants and stuff between them and I thought it would be better than them crammed in the garden.  I just had half that Rocoto tonight, and it was wonderful.       Here are a...

Yep, hope you're ok and continuing to heal up.

  Yeah they should leave your peppers and tomatoes alone - they don't tend to hammer the nightshade family, but beans, raspberries, grapes, stuff like that they go nuts.
