Update - a pepper was harvested and eaten and it was delicious, but sweet.

Thanks for the confirmation! Any guesses as to what the yellower ones are? ETA: I looked up the other peppers I planted (because some of the seedlings were really close, despite the dividers) and I had also planted some Turkish Charleston seeds - does the mystery plant look like those?

I planted some old Tekne Dolmasi seeds that I found in my stash and was surprised when they sprouted. I bought them from Pepper Lover at least 4 years ago! I kept a couple plants (that aren't doing well - went on vacation and had a caterpillar decimate them - I found and smushed the caterpillar...

  It is! The only thing holding me back is that I'm now worried my deck will collapse if I add anything else  :lol:   I do have a couple FilFil sprouts that are just now ready to pot... Maybe I'll make an exception to my "Seriously, stop buying plants" rule and pot those.

I chased a stray goat for 40 minutes today. I do not live in the country.

Hey! You joined! Welcome!  :D

I feel your pain. My parents have a peach tree and the squirrels are impossible. They've taken to harvesting the peaches as soon as they have a slight blush and letting them ripen fully inside, which isn't ideal but at least they get a couple peaches. Not sure if that's an option with lychee...

I bought a goji berry on clearance at Lowe's and potted it (18" pot, as suggested by Oh Knowledgable Google). It had a shoot sprouting up so I potted that separately in a smaller container. Figured I'd try to nurse it up to adult size and see how I do. Two for one! And the shoot is putting out...

Definitely! When I was growing up, my dad's dad had a huge garden next to their house. He basically took up their entire yard with his garden. It's where I learned where potatoes come from when I was very small (I was absolutely amazed!). My mom's dad also gardened. One year, he was so fed up...

I lost my password for a while an then promptly forgot I had a glog, but I'm back now!   On March 4th, I moved all my seedlings into slightly larger little pots and transferred everyone over to a bigger shelf. (And bought chives, which promptly died.)   On March 26th, I put the biggest of the...

  Haha! I may have gotten most of my ideas from sites geared towards another type of indoor grow :lol: I spent about a week expecting the DEA to knock at my door.   Unless you're referring to the trays being used for regular brownies, in which case never mind  :P

Got my little corner all set up in the basement...       I recreated my setup from a couple years ago - shelving unit, dollar store pans, etc - only this time I actually remembered to label everything. I didn't label well the first time I tried starting seeds, so when I transplanted, I had no...

He was crazy! We had all his siblings up for adoption at various times and they were all kind of nuts, but super sweet.    I used this tutorial for mine. I got all my supplied at Walmart - a large box (in the packing section), cheap white cotton for the sides ($2.00 per yard, 2 yards did two...

I consider myself a constantly aspiring photographer :lol: I have a Canon T3i and I've been saving up for a Canon 80D (just a couple hundred away now).    I just set up a do-it-yourself-cheaply lightbox for some product photography that I'm hoping to try out tomorrow. I got really excited when I...

  My dad was standing behind me making beagle noises!  :lol:

Yeah, ginger root - but they're from eBay and they're seeds, so I'm assuming they're probably not actually ginger. I'll find out! I like an experiment every now and again.   Thanks for the tips - I'll check out those tutorials! I'm not looking to have a whole bunch of containers (just a couple...

I'm back! I've been gone a while. Years. In the meantime, my past pets have passed. I now have a betta and a cory cat (separate tanks because the betta's a [handsome] jerk) and a greyhound, Tessa.  

I caught the garden bug again.    It's been a couple years since I did much of any gardening - I moved to Asheville for a year and a half and had two 'gardens' that ended up being rather disappointing and producing very little of anything. What they did produce was quite disappointing - weirdly...

My poor 7 pots didn't quite make it in time - it's chilly now and the plants are losing their leaves. They only just started producing peppers a couple weeks ago so everything is still green! I'd hate to lose two entire plants of peppers just because they're green (I was hoping to make a batch...

Thank you for the advice! I truly cannot take the smell of vinegar, so vinegar was out. I thought about using rice vinegar because I have it and it doesn't make me gag like the rest but I chickened out - my sauce doesn't need to keep forever and I wasn't making a lot of it. In the end, I...
