It's been a minute since I've updated! I've been super busy this year with a whole host of projects and things going on, but the garden is still blooming bright as ever.   You'll notice a shade cloth I've put over my tomatoes recently - I'm hoping this will help them recover from the scorching...

Thanks for the advice, THP. :) I think I know what I need to do now!

  Much appreciated!

  Do you cook them before you add them, or after? How long would you simmer something like that down?

  I used honey to cut into the spice afterwards, but it still maintained that super floral and bitter taste alongside the honey. Super weird!   Should agave be something I add during the fermentation process?

Howdy ya'll,   I'm relatively new to the fermentation game, and have made a few homemade sauces myself. However, one thing I've noticed is that I seem to have no ability to create pleasant flavor profiles for what I eventually ferment.    So this weekend I blended up one of my ferments that had...

  That last one sounds great! Got a recipe for your final sauce? I've been wanting to make homemade BBQ sauce for ages but have never felt comfy jumping off!

Did the best I could with what I had available! I covered all the chinense variety.     At least my indoor tomato plants is still kicking ass!     Made Millenial dinner to enjoy the cool weather.  

  The low keeps going up degree by degree - it's at 37 now! I suspect it will be even higher by tomorrow. I have some covers though, just in case!

The planting season is finally upon us my dears, and my peppers and tomatoes are firmly in the ground. Frost seems to be behind us, but this Friday the low is expected to be 35 degrees. It's close, so I might give all my plants a little plastic covering just to make sure they're good to go.  ...

  I've seen this problem before on these same plants, and am growing from the same seeds I started with last year's crop. It's a nutrient lockup from being in containers that are too small - the plants are fine.

  I'm in Denton, up in north Texas. It's chilled!

  In my experience with my indoor grows, the leaves begin to curl when the pepper is definitely out of room to grow in the pot. Once I can get these sad things outside and in the ground they should unfurl.

Hey everyone!   Been a while since I posted, but I thought I'd let you guys know I am still cranking peppers as I do every year! I didn't really run my glog last year, so I thought I would show you guys what I am up to.   We're moving to a new house in the summer, so I have a stripped-down setup...

Bottom growth was pretty much dead, which seems to happen with all tomato plants. Still, this one is bothering me a lot. I'm not sure what's going on with it.

  I plan to keep it well-trimmed while it's growing. As for a virus, I'm not sure how it'd get one - the medium it's planted in is a simple potting mix, and has not been exposed to any other plants or the outdoors. Just seems so odd for an exclusively indoor plant (its sister plant from the same...

  It's a Brandywine, and the indoor temp is ~75 degrees Fahrenheit, and the humidity around the plant is 37-39%.    Haven't noticed any pests, Hafners. It's been grown indoors exclusively.

So, I've been LED-growing a tomato plant indoors as kind of an experiment. I haven't fertilized this plant directly - it's a large container chock full of fertilizer already, so I imagine as it grows it leeches some new nutrients; hence the super green leaves.   However, the leaves wrinkle. I'm...

Ooooh, fermented giardiniera? Now that's interesting.
