    Pickler's Grow Log

    Thanks Paul, I sure hope so.  I saw a photo of a 6-8 foot habanero 'tree' and think it would be cool to have some plants that were similar (this would take a long time, a few years).  I am a little bummed about not having a lot of plants started for this year, but between scouting and work, I...

    Pickler's Grow Log

    Here's a quick update on the indoor stuff:   The plants are getting pretty big, even though they are leggy.  They drop a lot of leaves but also are growing lots of new ones.  I've had a few waves of dropped flowers, but hoping that they start setting pods soon.  I've been low dose feeding with...

    Pickler's Grow Log

    August is here!  Summer is in full swing, 90F+ days here, with a little rain every now and then.  Hopefully the wildfire season isn't too bad.   The superhots are starting to put out a few pods, still lots of flowers but not a lot setting yet.  The Thai's are going off and the bean/ghost plants...

    Pickler's Grow Log

    Greetings!   The heat has finally arrived!  We've had temps in the upper 80's, mostly sunny with some thunderstorms here and there.  Big, fat rain drops and some golf-ball sized hail just an hour ago.  I'll need to see if anything got thrashed a little later.   All of the leaves in the...

    what are you doing with excess peppers

    I still have half a gallon bag of dried chili's from the year prior.  I dry them out in a dehydrator and use them for hot sauce.

    shade Shade cloth - Yes/no?

    I would agree with you John.  Alot of them had tons of new growth come out of their stems.  That stuff looks great, the canopy's look rough but are coming around.  The gardener who moved his plants into the greenhouse two weeks before I did has had no issues with his plants.  This was probably...

    fertilizer to the sustainable growers....who fertilizes with their urine?

    I work in plumbing/construction.  Above post was about what we do when we find the bottles.  Not constructive to the conversation at hand.  Anyways!    We find piss bottles in places where other trades are too lazy to go up/down 3-5 floors to an outhouse.  They generally tend to smell, more...

    I wanted to get a quick update done this weekend, so here it is:   Peppers:   The peppers are looking pretty good now.  The canopy's of the superhots are pretty torched/beat up but there's a lot of new foliage coming out of the stems.  Luckily, it seems like they've not dropped all their flowers...

    shade Shade cloth - Yes/no?

    Thanks for the replies everyone.  We're having some cold weather again where we're at (snow up high in the mountains, rain down low and quite a bit of wind again yesterday), so a lot of the garden is struggling.  It's reassuring to hear that they'll most likely rebound, they were looking great...

    shade Shade cloth - Yes/no?

    Thanks for the reply CaneDog.   The peppers lived in the greenhouse for two weeks before going outside.  They spent a week with screens, shading them a little, and a week without them (only glass between them and the sun).  It didn't get very cold inside the greenhouse (maybe down to 50F) but I...

    shade Shade cloth - Yes/no?

    Howdy,   Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I was reading that pepper plants won't set pods if it gets too hot during the day.  Is it worth investing in a shade cloth (even one that reduces UV by 30%) to try and keep the plants a little bit cooler?  Our summers are short, but they can get...

    health Brown spots ?

    I have some of those spots as well on some of my plants.  I should note that we have a lot of flea beetle and whiteflies out right now.  Maybe a vector for the fungus or just punching holes through the leaves?

    Pickler's Grow Log

    Hi everybody,   Here's an update on what's been happening:   The garden plots are all planted, the plants are in!  The peppers and other vegetables are doing OK, even though they've had the s**t kicked out of them by some weather we've had. (Lots of wind, low 40's in the evenings.)  They've...

    When and why you started growing peppers

    My interest in peppers started a few years ago, it (maybe just gardening in particular) was a distraction from some problems I was dealing with.  I needed a new hobby as I had lost interest in my previous ones.  I started with a raised bed as just something to do.  A neighbor took me out to an...

    Peter Stanley - 2019 grow log

    Great looking plants, I really liked the video.  I hope to be able to try some of the hydro stuff this year with some new seeds I got.

    Pickler's Grow Log

    Good Afternoon everybody,   It's been a little while, but the plants had been moved to larger pots and moved into the greenhouse for hardening off.  I moved a few of the smaller seedlings out that had been lagging behind as well.  They seem to be perking up and greening up too.   Reapers seem to...

    Hi again everyone,   Spring is finally here, kind of.  We had a snow storm, but thankfully nothing stuck in the valleys.  Temps have been in the 40's and most days have been sunny, outside of all the rain.  We've started to help prep the garden plots and helped plant 500ish onions with the other...

    Pickler's Grow Log

    Hi Everybody,   Here's an update on how things are growing.  Things look to be going well.  Some of the Thai Ornamental's are getting a few yellow leaves here and there (mostly old leaves) that are dropping off.  I'm not too concerned though as there is a lot of new growth along the stems of the...
