Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone!!   It's been really busy up here; got most of the plants in the dirt about 2 weeks ago - 43 plants in/48 planned in the raised beds, and about 25 others in pots ranging from 3 gallons to 30 gallons. My capsicum rhomboideums are hardened off and need to hit...

Scott, this is amazing!! What great plants and pods! Still jealous of the size of those poblanos... gotta see how big mine come in this year. My big Jim set a pod a few days ago so I’m looking forward to seeing that one go! Holy moly.. that growdown plant is a monster. 100 gallon pot?!? I have...

Wow this looks great! So cool that you have a beautiful open spot in the community garden like that, and only 5 minutes away! I have Zapotec and biker Billy’s this year as well, neither have set pods yet, but I’ll definitely follow up when they come. Which pepper(s) are you most excited about...

Wow, just amazing! Your plants are monsters, I can’t believe how many bells you’ve got set on that plant! Is there a secret to getting he pods to grow so big?? My poblanos never reached the gigantic grocery-store size last year, they were about 2/3rds as big at their best (still delicious...

Thank you! I’ll post some new developments tomorrow. Things are looking good and green here and my one gallon container plants are filling out dramatically. I have to water much more frequently now - certain plants need water every day! Plant-out can’t come soon enough as there really isn’t any...

Scott, All looks amazing!! Love the 1 month comparison shots. I’m gonna work the soil tomorrow in preparation for plant out which won’t be for another few weeks.. the weather is ridiculous here - 70s the past two days and then today in the 40s. Idk what’s going on. Really excited for your Big...

Sounds like you’re kicking some ass over there! I hear ya with the maters... they literally grow before your eyes. It’s ridiculous. Looking forward to the photos. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey everyone! Time for another update! Sorry it’s been so long... Plants are simply huge... I’m trying to keep everything under control for another few weeks before plant out but it’s a jungle in my basement. It sits at about 85° down there in the boiler room so I suspect that is why the plants...

Another update from Frankie’s peppers headquarters in NY! Plants are way bigger than the plants I had last year at this point and I still have another month before plant out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Trent! I've been thinking... How the heck are you going to sun-condition all these guys??? That's going to be a royal PITA carrying thousands of plants in and out of the farm for a week.

Easiest way to tell would be to eat a slice. You know what a jalapeño tastes like I’m assuming? They definitely look like they could be jalapeños! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey Trent, man that is one killer schedule. You seem to me to be a meticulous workaholic. You are extremely dedicated to this and even with that insane schedule you still manage your time effectively enough to pay tons of attention to the peppers. Not that my opinion is worth much, but I...

  The kid in a candy store feeling.. I get that often when it comes to these crazy plants! Oh that is interesting to hear about the JPGS not being super level heat, I'm growing a bunch of those for the first time this year so I'll be excited to try it in comparison to some of the others I'm...

Wow, the plants are so beautiful in that African sun!! Awesome stuff. I totally agree with the fatalii comment, the yellow is such a great plant and pics of the other colors never seem to look right. What would you say is your favorite super hot that you’re growing? Have you tried the reaper x...

  Trent, man, those are some GREAT photos! Getting me pumped for chile season this year.. I took a bunch of pictures like that of my plants just absolutely loaded with pods, I'll have to take another look through and post some. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year.   What did you wind...

What a lovely shade of green! Which varieties are you growing this year??

      I'm pretty excited to try them, they look so fun! I'm hoping they have that classic hatch chile flavor.. I remember I had one of those mac and cheese boxes from Trader Joe's with "hatch chile" in it and it was delicious... I also make a really great poblano mac and cheese that I'm hoping...

Looks great!! Gonna be a bountiful garden soon enough. I'm jealous of the weather by you.. I'd love to be able to get out into the garden but it's still a few weeks before I can even think about that.. and another 1.5-2 months before I can think about planting anything.. ugh How do you like the...

Haha yeah, could be, I don't know much about bonemeal! Did you try in any of your mixes a coir + perlite + guano/manure combination? Also I've been thinking.. you should get some compost going for next season - speak to some people in town and see if they can drop off some compost at your...

It's the ammonia! Ammonia is a decently strong base. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
