2019 Hay Bale Pepper Patch

I've been a member for a while but never posted a grow log. My usual garden is too boring for that. I use 20-30 pots and overwinter my mama plants in a hillbilly winter shelter. Our ground here isn't good for in soil gardening and I've not been enthused enough to undertake the work and expense to build raised beds.
 
Now I have my peppers working the way I want and have the need for a much larger grow to supply a project. The main peppers I'll grow will be reaper, douglah and fatalii. For a couple of years I'll do hay bale gardens and heap tons of organic trash into the area. I have monumental amounts of pine straw, oak leaves and bonfire ash every year to dump in the walkways. I think this will do a world of good to make this new garden area mo'betta for eventual in ground growing.
 
I closed off a 38x38 patch in the NE field that gets full sun. This is the area I chose. The big painted guy is my fertilizer supplier.
 
The little painted guy is my running buddy and load inspector.

Looking sharp, DWB :cool: Seems like everyone's getting an upgrade around your place, peppers and people both.

The new winter shelter has almost 2½ times more floor space plus a lot more potential shelf space than the old way. This best part is it's all so much more accessible. I'll finally have room to dig up some great plants from the patch to keep over the winter.

The new truck is a definite upgrade for Cody. He loves it. This truck has the electric sliding passthrough in the back window. He can safely hang his head out of that and enjoy the outside air.
