alright, thanks, that's what I figured lol, at least i know, it won't be bad this year because I am actually going to attempt to make sauces.. last year I was just kind of set of salsa or pickling. .did make some good salsa though with little amount of fresh peppers I had last year with only...

hmm, thanks for the info, I'm sure if I do some searching I can find some cheaper, I actually went to a place in town asking for some since the actual town didn't have any compost, they just give all of their "scraps" to a company to process, but the company wants $35 a yard for a peat/pine...

yeah you will be more than fine, I don't know why I didn't post these before, (edit: about the TS and Jamaican Hot chocolate that I will tell you about below, and tried to break it up a little so it's easier to read) well actually I was going to mention them, but after I backed out of the page...

Hey Potawie, I tried freezing a bunch of peppers last year, actually vacuum packed them with the food processor then froze them but when I dethawed them, they became really mushy, is there a way to keep some crunchiness if I wanted to pickle them and try to keep them a little more crunchy and...

for who?.. since I don't see a pic from the OP..which actually I think he should add some even though I think he had a different thread on it.. but mine as well post the dates and pics on this thread too Mamsoth mine have all had problems with edema which I think is a big part of the problem...

yeah, it's really about the amount of light they get for growth.. at least if you have everything else under control, I have noticed that even with all my damage that I caused my plants and a lot of set-backs from almost killing them a couple times, that it's about 1 month or a little less...

It said I had too many images, so here is the 2nd half of the mini timeline A week later the plants were doing much better after the change to allow for more air flow, (of "fresh" air) and added liquid ferts March 31, 2012 Got to spend some time on my birthday to transplant the 4th set of...

wow, I had just about finished everything, had 1 more "date" update to do with pics.. .and I pressed the wrong damn button and backed out of the page :doh: ... I am going to take a little break.. since I just realized that it took me just about 2 hours to get all the pics organized and...

cool thread, I actually was wondering what the time line of my plants are going to be, since I started some really early, and I have a smaller.. well semi small batch of them that are just getting their 2nd set of true leaves... I will edit this now with all the pictures and dates, and at the...

yeah that's also what I was thinking, the bails of it is a little expensive, well not really that much, but for a 1,800 sq ft garden, it could get expensive to get a thin layer on there lol.. although my mom was saying I could get a truck load of it for pretty cheap, so I might check that out...

almost forgot about this, but this may be slightly off topic, but not really.. maybe? but anyways, I was curious to see what you guys thought as to why there is a large difference in the time that peppers take to ripen.. I had a lot of flowers before but I was loosing leaves on some of my plants...

(shortened it up a little from what I had before lol) I filtered out the ash part the first time I used it in the mix, but I like adding the charred chunks into the potting mix too, I just smash them up into smaller pieces, it's kind of like perlite. but breaks down..to see what the soil test...

thanks, I've been using 10% wood ashes in the potting mixes too and it seems to be working well.. this winter was really slow and by the time I thought of adding stuff to the garden, it was already getting warm, so there were not many ashes added, but next winter I will be sure to add some...

crap, I had everything typed up, then had some problems with the page, so copied it so I could close it and come back to it, but ended up copying the link from photobucket before pasting the reply back onto here first.. oh well.. (edit: realized there was no need for what I had and just...

Taking a quick break from doing some micro-bio work to let you know that.. I hate you... lol, we had great weather up here last week, or no, the week before that, now it's back down to 30s at night and MAYBE 50s in the day, although it is going back to being mid to high 50s or low 60s this week...

I was thinking about the same thing about the weed cloth, haven't had great results with it before on the sides of the yard, because it just grew through it, but there was mulch covering it, I might just do the weed cloth on top without anything else. .that way it will also warm the soil more...

oh and Matt, I was wondering why you are going to add all that lime? the lowest pH on your test shows 5.8, I would think between 6-6.5 would be where you want to be, and I would think only a little bit of lime would get you there.. since peppers like it around 5.5-6.5 or so, what did the lady...

lol.. was trying to figure out what you were referencing, kept looking at the other posts and wondering what the heck you were talking about, then realized I should probably check the pic again.. but yeah the plant looks pretty limp, does it get enough water?

I'm not sure, but i have had some curling too with some of mine, and I think, since like you I have been adding Calcium every watering, but I believe it has to do with the soil getting really dry before watering again, possibly.. I have been trying to let the pots dry out, but not completely...

nice sounds good, thanks, can't wait to get the results back, I just potted up another... 60+ plants into solo cups lol and moved the plants around in my tent so I could move the fan over to the other side, it was hitting the big Bulgarian Carrot plant, which has some nice ripe pods on them! had...
