    Pepper health check!

    Have you been getting some hotter days than normal lately or has the direction the light is coming from changed so shaded areas are not as shaded -- The first pepper is a bit of suntan ( the pepper will turn that color due to the direct sunlight as the pepper tans to keep from burning just like...

    Squared bell peppers

      Yep seen the squared watermelon and the Frankenstein Pumpkin   but those are molds -- I'd suspect the Bells are the same !

    shade Shade cloth %

      I usually either roll the cloth around the wood piece a couple times (so the majority of the cloth is being pulled by the entire piece of wood rather than pulling on just the staples) - or sandwich the cloth between 2 pieces of wood that are screwed together (again so the stress of the pulling...

    Source for cheap 5/10 gallon burlap bags?

      Yeah it's pretty late in the season - they do have 5 of the 7 gallon @ $3.25 each or 21 of the 3 gallon @ $1.75 showing in stock ( not enough of either for the bulk packs so you have to order individually.   Actually just noticed they have another color that is supposed to be heavier duty and...

    Green House Megastore also carries root pouches ( we were talking about them for shade cloth earlier !)   They have 5 gallon pouches with handles for $2 or 10 packs for $15 ( http://www.greenhousemegastore.com/product/root-pouch-grey-fabric-pot-3-4-year/grow-bags )

    shade Shade cloth %

      Sometimes even when it says 3 weeks it arrives sooner ( they don't carry the stock and place the order direct with the manufacturer to drop ship it to you so put the 3 weeks just in case the manufacturer takes awhile to ship it. )   If you want the grommets and border tape - they have the 30%...

    shade Shade cloth %

    GreenHouse MegaStore ( http://www.greenhousemegastore.com/category/shade-cloth ) has a good selection of various %'s and pretty decent prices ( I usually just buy the 12' wide Bulk cloth (40% should work and is about $2.25 per foot ) rather than the ones with the added borders since it is much...

    Droopy curly thin leaves with off white colored patches

      Most likely a combination of those 2 -- when you repot you wind up breaking off some of the roots and it takes a few days to regrow them and then you also introduced them to the outdoors. They are just in a bit of shock and need time to get accustomed to the new environment. Might want to move...

    How to break down bones in garden

    I'd be careful using compost from predator animals as any bacteria and viruses from the animals can live for several years in the soil and still be contagious ( this is why most people avoid using carnivore waste in any gardens that they grow edibles in.) Most people usually stick to waste from...

    Giant Pumpkin+veg. GLOG!!!

      That's probably correct - figure the serious competition growers are pumping the things with all kinds of chemicals to get them to grow that big -- If you grow them without adding too many ferts they are edible but usually have a pretty bland taste ( just like most squashes as they get larger)...

    White Eggplant

    I've grown Casper and Gretel eggplant - 2 types of white eggplant but smaller varieties, Overall they seem to have a milder flavor with less bitterness than the purple varieties I've grown ( Ichiban, Black Beauty). With 4 plants you should have more than you can use as they are usually very...

    "ornamental" pepper ID

    Might also be a Numex Twilight - as they also turn from purple to yellow, orange and finally red.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKy3jdFrf5k

      Thanks a bunch fiveohmike !!!   Guess I should have gone back and adjusted my guess after finding out it was a 7 game not 6 game series - as that would have added another 10.2 runs to my 61 runs making the total  71 !!   Congrats WiriWiri !!

    Having a consistent product year round?

      Why do it every month when the shelf life of the product is several months minimum - rather than do a 10 gallon batch every month why not do a 30 gallon batch once a quarter or 60 gallon batch every 6 months ?

    Found the old unboxing video that was posted of their delivery ( IIRC one of the forum members posted it back in 2012) if you want to see the type of product they ship --

    Why does it cost so much?

    The way I see it - you have to charge what you have to charge - and people are going to complain about the cost whether it is $50 or $5 (that's just part of selling things !) - figure those that do not want to spend the $18 either have other things they prefer to spend the $ on or don't want...
