The PO clerk said the 'Ground Advantage' would get there just as fast as a MFRB, but the extra day they took makes me wonder. :rolleyes: Anyway, I'm glad it made it!

It was marked as "Delivered" when I looked last night! :rolleyes:

Train is rolling to Gundoville! 9534 6158 1573 4022 5613 11 ETA Wednesday

I was sweating it! My dad wound up in the hospital Sunday and I was trying to get up to Washington to see him. I think the same weather that delayed the package kept me from flying out sooner. I was gonna have a neighbor pick up the package and forward it, so the train wouldn't have crashed...

Something spicy arrived in Tucson!!

Address sent! Let 'er rip! Thanks!

Seed Train! Hi. Here's my address. Greg Campbell 2121 S. Pantano, #323 Tucson, Az. 85710-6134 520-471-9737 I travel between Az and my dad's in Washington quite a bit. PLEASE verify that I'm in Arizona immediately before sending the package! Thanks!

The plants I've grown produce typical big, bushy, baccatum plants that sprout hundreds of pods over the season. They're easy to grow and fairly tolerant of Tucson heat, although the flowering does shut down during the dead of summer. Pods are smaller than golf balls, thin walled, crunchy, a...

Where the heck are all the other passengers??

I'd like a ticket, please.

Same here in Tucson. I've had a big plant growing beside the house for ~5 years. Hard frost nukes most of the branches, but by April new shoots come charging out of the rootball. The plant seems a little more cold tolerant than my other overwintered peppers. We've had a few mid-30 nights...

Chiltepin are hot enough to get your attention. But just when you start to wonder if you've done something rather stoopid, the heat begins to subside.

I use the blue fabric Wally World bags. 50 cents each and they hold about 7 gallons.   

You can feed the monsters organic (pesticide free) peppers or tomatoes. Ask the produce guys for damaged freebies!

  Interesting.  I've never seen that here in Az.

Well, it almost never freezes, and the average winter low in in the mid 50s.  That should be warm enough for the plants to grow year round, without them going dormant for the season.   Plan to provide mid-day shade in the summer, if possible.  Locating an in-ground garden just under the southern...

  Aji Guyana looks amazing! 

  PLEASE don't use that sort of systemic neonicotinoid!  Sure, the stuff works wonders, permeating the tissue and killing anything that chomps on your plant.  Unfortunately it also kills pollinators, leaf-cutting bees, and damn near everything else that comes in contact with the plant, flower...

  And you already have enough trouble getting those damned Amarillos to ripen before the annual ice age arrives....

They are the woven fabric type so they drain and 'breathe' very, very well.  Evaporation through the fabric cools the roots, which helps keep the plants happy in the stupid Az heat.  Capacity is about 7 gallons, enough for a respectable plant.  For 50 cents Wallybags are a gardening 'miracle!' ...
