Your peppers look outstanding! Great idea with the PVC, I did the same but made the rack taller to use my coffee table so more south light would reach the plants through the french doors. I assembled the pipe without glue and will take it apart and store the lights and pipe in a box in the...

It sounds like I should move them under the light as soon as I see them breaking the soil, correct? I still have the Bhut's, Red Savina's and Yellow 7 Pots on the pad, I will check them daily. Should I add fertilizer?

I think I do have Billy Biker seeds leftover, I will check in the morning.

Just some progress photos, planted last Sunday and the early risers were Lumbre, Aji Cereza, Billy Biker and Jalapeno M. Moved them off the heating pad and under the lights. Planted eight Cherry Hybrid and eight Better Boy Hybrid this afternoon. I picked up two yards of wet, musty compost...

Just some progress photos, planted last Sunday and the early risers were Lumbre, Aji Cereza, Billy Biker and Jalapeno M. Moved them off the heating pad and under the lights. Planted eight Cherry Hybrid and eight Better Boy Hybrid this afternoon. So how much growth can I expect in the next month?

I planted last Sunday evening using Jiffy seed starter and three ounce Dixie paper cups. I put all the cups on a cookie sheet and placed that on the Wally World heating pad and covered it with a cardboard box. I had it on high but it felt a little warm so I turned it down to 4 yesterday...

Thanks!

I have received quite a few offers for seeds, more than I need, more than I deserve! Thanks all........SV

PM's to flyingappleseedco and Mister Al.

Cool, I will PM my address.

Howdy! I am still interested in any peppers not listed below. If you have extra and feel generous I would love to try other varieties. Maybe by this time next year I will have some seeds to pass on to others :D bjs2006 Lumbre from Hatch Aji Cereza Billy Biker

My neighbors do grow all year, but the wife is home and gardening every few days protecting the plants from the heat in the summer and from the cold of winter. March is decent, April thru the first week of July are god and then the Texas heat is bad until October. If you are asking because of...

I put the PVC pipe rack together a few minutes ago and hung the lights. These have 4 -32w T8 bulbs and 128w more light than my seedlings had last year. I will put the lights on a timer and turn the heating pad on 24/7. If anyone has suggestions on the correct type of thermometer to use to verify...

Howdy! I went to get the welded wire mesh and decided the wire gauge was too thin and didn't like the idea of cleaning rust off my arms every time I reached for a tomato. I stopped by Tractor Supply and found 16' cattle panels that are 50" tall with 4ga wire, it's thicker than 3/16" and was a...

I did not get much work done this weekend but I did pick up materials: Seed starter mix. 2 - 48" T-8 FL's 3/4" PVC to make a rack for the lights. Various seeds. I forgot the welded wire mesh for the tomatoes and cucumbers but I can go back next weekend. I also forgot the dixie cups or I would...

The gentleman that gave me the manure raises, trains and boards horses and had a pile the size of a Suburban that he turned over with a small Kubota. He said it was over a year old and I have no reason to believe otherwise. He pulled mine from the bottom of the pile and it appeared composted to...

I don't recall them holding water for very long at all, it either soaks in the ground below, runs out at the bottom or a combination of the two. I believe I need to add a strip of wood on the inside to cover the joint between the 2X10's. I believe drip irriation would be preferable to the...

I can lose a few tomatoes a week, but if they start calling their friends over for supper every afternoon they are going to find a home in my crock pot, frying pan or the bbq pit. They have been fattening up on black sunflower I put out for the birds all winter long, they outta be to fat to...

Judy, another generous member offered some Jalapeno's, Cherry and New Mexican seeds, but I would love to try your Tabasco's! TIA........SV

That is a great idea, thanks for the tip!
