The hail has hit around me but I've been fortunate. Most of the hail that passed into Sk stopped around Assiniboia. I hope you made it through unscathed DF. 

Our temps have been all over the place. Night below 10 but days above 30 Ahayastani.

Normally I don't focus on flower blooms like the rest of my family but this year was a good year for that. I've endured a three year drought with well below average precip. But the rains came at the right time this year for the flowers.                     

However, with these vine things growing outside your window, you attract birds, the birds attract these furry things which make a lot of noise at 5AM as the shed is a old tin and reverberates.             

Garden 2020 update. Stuff is sorta growing, Tomatoes all have leaf curl this year in both gardens. Not sure what is going on. Potatoes doing well this year. Started super dry but received some rain. Still below average but enough to start greening the grass. Thankfully the hail in Alberta...

I had the same issue at the greenhouses. The pickings were slim. The order came in once and you either fought the hordes or you passed on the plants. I was able to get both a ghost and a reaper though. However, this is the 4th night of single digit temps. and just like you it is going to hit 5...

Thanks for the tip Paul.   Update, I moved my plants outside but the wind gusts which happen in spring were late this year. We've had 14 days of sustained windstorms. Windspeeds have been at a low of 70kph gusting to 90 for three days and one day had gusts over 100kph. Lots of tree limbs came...

Plants are taking up more space now. I waited a few days to observe any changes after picking up some Cal-Mag. The changes are a fairly significant. The plants put on new nodes above the damaged ones.     

I wonder if the capsaicin alters the physiology of the aphids making them unpalatable? 

News update. Most of my varieties are growing well. I ran into two problems in the last month because of the silly virus.   The first I could not order any pots. So I had to make do with milk cartons. The cartons were already being saved for other plants like squash but since peppers start...

What settings are you using on the pressure cooker? Bold move. 

New light will allow me to spread out the plants more. I focused on vegetative light with T5s rather than higher powered LEDs. I had my eye on the Spiderfarmer brand but it just didn't give me enough real estate. I needed something more compact and basically bought it for the frame and trays. I...

Thank you both! I'll start them now and have them in pots. My plant out date is usually the first week of June depending on night temps. 

I was wondering what the days to maturity is for the Urfa Biber pepper? I was given some seeds and wanted to know when would be a good time to start them. I cannot find any information pertaining to their growth rate on line. My 85 days to maturity peppers are usually planted on the 15th. 

I decided not to do my Jamaican Mushrooms until the 15th after judging from their growth spurts last year. However your Peach Ghost J. is ahead of mine by 2 solid weeks. Mine are just starting to sprout. 

Just wanted to say that I got the last of my pepper seeds in yesterday. I made the decision to not start too early because the late spring last year forced me to work with larger plants that needed to be trimmed down. The ghosts were started at the beginning of the month and most of the...

I started them at the end of January. The problem is they are very aggressive, while anything on ghost genetics is slow to start off. I ended up with a huge plant and we had a late spring which pushed the last weekend in May frost day out to till the 12th of June. Then every month had a few cold...

I hope he makes it back. I am curious to hear what succeeded and failed. 

I enjoyed the fish pepper. It had good taste and somewhat mild heat. However it took longer than 80 days to complete in my zone 3a climate. My cold nights were not kind to the chocolate habs which was a bummer considering how vigorous they were as starts in the house. Maybe you have a green...

Yeah, I've moved from 2b to 3a, so does this mean I can do tropical stuff now? lol
