WEEK 13??? Well.....You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have the facts of my garden. I have noticed the many new leaves are developing and I am hoping the this is a sign of the plants bouncing back and recovering. I really hope this delay does not keep me from...

Well I will try to get pics up tonight. Been kind of busy with building the worm farm ;) and raising a troubled teenager...lol

Well I did do the fish emulsion maybe once a week and I just did an epsom treatment once last week. Still no changes. The plants looked amazing before I got them outside and after the emulsion treatments. Could I have over done it?

Well maybe but it should be healed by now I would think. I mean they have been growing in the window since I got them and have at the very least been in an are that is partially shaded a lot of the time but does get full sun. Ill try to take some pics and get them up here as soon as I can. I...

Well some bad news on the pepper plants. They are all in the garden and have been for a week or so and they are not looking good. leaves are damaged and if they dont have holes in them they are also kind of that semi-transparent tanish color. I will get some pics up as this might help diagnose...

Well I have no pics yet since it was raining ALL weekend. Even had a couple tornado hits. Some of the leaves on a couple plants look awful. But I hope to get these things in the ground in the next couple days. Stay tuned. :)

Well even though my plants have been grown this year with real sun light it seems they still have developed some sun burn on them. I did not take any pictures since Im sure the evidence will be obvious when I take them to post up on Monday. I have made a batch of fish emulsion aka "poopy water"...

Well I know its only been one day for my test of putting the Blushing Beauties into strait compost, but I don't see any bad signs yet. Even wilting is something that can happen in a 24 hour period and so far the plants still look happy. I'm going to water all the peppers today after I put the...

Thank you very much. i plan on updating it week by week until the end of the season. It may also include pics of me using my new 9 tray Excalibur dehydrator to make powders and jerky along with some hot sauces perhaps. So keep checking back. :)

All tucked in and ready for a new day after their watering. You may have also notices some of them seem to be leaning a bit. It was a very windy day so they got their work out with that.

One of the bigger ones. close up. Put back in the tray for their watering. The other ones too.

Still some minor damage. And a little guy yet. The blushing beauties potted up in strait compost (trying a little experiment) and the hydro plant.

WEEK 10 Well im up a little late so I am getting to this a little early. I took lots of pics but I will choose the best ones to show you all. The plants are getting HUGE. I cant wait to plant them next weekend if all goes well. So I wont keep you all waiting any longer. Here they are... Here...

Maybe ill need to get a couple scoops of some good black dirt at the county compost site to mix into it.

Right now everything is in drinking cups and looking amazing but I will be transplanting into the garden where the compost is in about a week or so. I am kind of inquiring about the peppers but even more so starting seed in the compost. It doesn't look like there is any manure in it but there is...

its BLACK and about 85% decomposed.

So I got a nice big 1yrd. worth of compost last weekend and was so excited I forgot to get black dirt also. Well I got to thinking, is it OK to grow in JUST compost? After all that's where the nutrients will come from, there is plenty of space and "looseness" in the soil for roots to grow and...

Well thats probably what it was then. Yes I had them outside and a storm did pass through. Some of the plants as I mentioned earlier were actually getting the bigger drops coming off the roof and bent over from it. So I guess the good news is its not bugs and that the plants should recover fine...

Damage continued... A couple others that got it too.

WEEK 9 Well here is what the crop looks like. I was also assessing the damage done by the storm and now I am wondering if I had/have something eating my plants that up till now looked amazing. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. We do have deer and critters but not sure if that would have...
