Thank you all for the help. That idea of getting a 3 ring binder (which I have a ton of not being used) and putting the seeds into coin envelopes and then into the baseball card spot on a page is an awesome idea that I may just need to do.

Wow those are kinda nice and super cheap. I have heard that you should keep seeds for a max of 5 years. I don't know if you can or should do it longer but since I have only been growing for three and most of my seeds are only 1-2 years old, So based on that I still got time. :)

So I have a little box the is meant for index cards. I don't have a pic but what I have done is labeled each index card with the name of the pepper, its hotness, and maybe one or two other pieces of info. I am outgrowing this box and literally squeezing seed packages into it. So what all do you...

Well a few nights ago I tried to make a smoothie. Well i got it done and took the first sip right out of the blender container. IT WAS AMAZING!!! Well I put it back on the blender and I noticed the plastic base on the jar was a bit loose. Well I tried to tighten it and little did I know, it was...

Well I have already put my plans together (after 4 drafts) for next years gardens. As far as the peppers go I have 88 plants in the plans. But I am thinking to myself that as awesome as that would be, Im not so sure I have my spacing correct. I also have designed the gardens around a few things...

Ooooooh yeah....thats probably what it is...I looked right over that one...lol

Well I will keep that in mind. Man if I was picking pods well into Oct. that would be awesome. I cant wait to put my Excalibur to work. I have not used it yet and man am I looking to do a lot with it this year. Assuming I get A LOT of pods I want to make pepper powders with them, along with...

Well if I get REAL lucky the plants will reach their full size and full fruit producing potential. But getting any peppers will be better than I though I was going to get and would be far better than last year...lol So I'm happy with whatever I get.

Well I was out in the garden and have been noticing some "fruits of my labor". I have been waiting to post any more pictures until I felt I had something worthy. Well I still don't think my plants are at where they should be but based on the pictures above, they have made HUGE progress so here...

Thats assuming this round even gets started. Sure hope nothing happened to him or all them wonderful seeds. :(

Here it is in the house all nice and...cooler.

Well soil temps in the bin were about 94 degrees again this morning so I decided to take a chance. I brought the worms in the house and they now are sitting by the basement patio door soaking up my nice cool central air. I'm sure they are probably loving it compared to being in 94 degree soil. I...

Well originally it was just buried past the newspaper "topping" but now I decided to actually probe the soil and stuff. But this measurement was not actually in the soil/bedding. The thermistor was between the bottom of the newspaper on top and just on top of the soil/compost/food scraps.

So I do have another question out of curiosity...So I live in the frozen tundra known as Minnesota but this summer has been HOT and very humid. I just heard on the radio that we had a an 83 degree dew point yesterday and the only other place in the world or western hemisphere that had that was...

Well I use the newspaper just as a topper. But there is a lot of newspaper under the leaves and dirt and all that. Oh yeah I don't know why I didn't think of that considering I have been ripping and chopping up everything else to little bits...that was my bad...lol Oh yeah another use for the...

Well I have been collecting egg shells for a couple weeks (we dont eat as much eggs as id like...lol) and while I was washing some old shells last night and let them dry, I ended up crushing them in the same manor I did with previous ones. Put them in two ziplock bags and take a rolling pin to...

well no internet so I'm trying to do this from my phone so here it goes... first off I found a big bag of dead leaves in the garage and I also decided to weed the garden while I was at it, so that's what the green stuff is. I then found a bucket of dirt outside the backdoor of my garage. It...

Ill be sure to add those things tonight. My lawn is due to be cut but does it matter if it is fresh or dead grass? I can add some dirt in there to that isn't in the gardens since I have been using MG in them. As far as leaves go I guess I figured green lettuce would count as it is leafy and...

Well here is an inside look of the bin. I don't know if these pics will do any justice but there is A LOT of worm castings in here and im sure most of what I am finding is castings since I used very little compost in the bin and it looks as though they have consumed most of the peat moss. Anyway...

Well I do have to say, it would be cool to have all those layers though and that spout. I should take some pics of the inside of the bin to show you all how well its coming. They still have a long way to go but man its looking awesome. I also was adding a melon/celery/lettuce food scraps mix I...
