      They are bigger than that last picture now.  And ive got some seedlings that are going nuts too, mostly the Aji's, but a few Jays Peach Ghost.   Planning to be in the ground around March 1, but really no set date.  I just keep an eye on the 10 day and monthly forecast.  Supposed to be 75...

    Dirt got delivered this morning.  Moved dirt for about 5 hours.    I ordered 5 yards.  This is what showed up.  It was AT LEAST 7 yards if not more.       Interior dimensions on my raised beds calculates out to 1.10 cu yards(4.4 cu yds. total).  Had to order 5, no problem, got a few low spots...

    seeds Fuzzy mold on seeds... Trying papertowel in small container method

    if they produce, they look fine to me.  The casing means almost nothing.  I attempt to not start with casings that are already looking black and nasty, but those have hooked, they are viable.   That top left one may not produce anything, but I wouldnt toss either of the two right ones.

    overwintering Massive Pepper Plants in the winter

      Ive got 4 reapers in 7 gallon containers(4 containers) in my 3x5 grow tent with a 900w LED.  They have taken over and my seedlings in solo cups along the front wall are starting to get a bit shaded.   Are you saying you have 9 plants in a single 7 gallon pot?  And 10 in a single 2 gallon pot?

    seeds First seedling up but?

    I vote for do nothing except get a little air flow(which sounds like you have).  If you start jacking with it, you will more than likely kill it.  As was said these things are pretty hardy until you start messing with them and thats when they die.  Ive moved a few from my seed starter into solo...

    pests What are these bugs?

    spray em down with water and knock em off for now.   Ive had good luck with Bonide Tomato and Vegetable(would have rather had the orchard, fruit and nut, but local place didnt have it) for my over winters.  Had 2 outbreaks(not nearly as bad as yours though) and mixed up 2 pretty strong batches...

    2 seasons, both with not much produce, just flowers which fall off

    dont water at all until they wilt.  You will figure out a schedule after 2-3 times of this happening.   The other thing I can think of, which I had issues with, was to much iron in the soil.  TONS of flowers, but they all fall off, with crazy green, great growing plants.  I have finally(after...

      yea 8k dollar rabbit fence!!!!   When I bought this house in July that was the realtors selling point, well one of them.  "look at this fence, 8k dollars, 8 foot, board on board, blah, blah, blah".  I come from a part of the country(Missouri) where nobody has fences so to me it was just a...

    Havent updated in a while.   My over winters are exploding.  They have gotten huge and are putting off tons of flowers.  Ive got a few that have set pods, but a lot have dropped which is disappointing.  Ive been battling the aphids, spraying with Bonide Fruit and Nut once a week and seem to be...

    preservation pepper vinegar

      Ive got remnants of 2 reapers in ziplock bags in my freezer, but they were young reapers and pretty small and not all that hot IMO.  Ill wait for these fresh ones and throw in some other peppers from the store.

    preservation pepper vinegar

    Sweet.  Ive got some reapers in my grow tent that have set some pods so hopefully in a 4-6 weeks I will have some super hots to add to some store bought stuff to make my buddy.    I told him what I was making and he sent me a picture of a snow cone machine and a toilet...  He knows the pain.

    preservation pepper vinegar

    Anybody ever made pepper vinegar before?   They have it(or used to anyway) at a restaurant called Steak and Shake and a few others(maybe Whataburger).  Its basically peppers in white vinegar.  Dont think its anything to hot usually(maybe jap's, maybe).   Anyway, they supposedly discontinued it...

    water Talk to me about PVC drip irrigation

    I bought a kit similar to that last year, but not as big as I was only doing 4 potted plants.  It worked ok, just seemed like it would get pricey for doing a larger area.  My beds are separate so I would basically have to have 4 separate systems.  I can build a manifold that will feed all 4 beds...
