made a tour of the back yard today for you guys to see my progress...I am about a month behind last season...we have gotten a lot of rain in the past two weeks...about 4.5" and it continues to rain...probably will get another inch or two before this system passes...and no, I am not complaining...the plants are loving it and so is my water bill... :)

Awesome, Thanks for sharing AJ! You're going to be the busiest mo-fo around for a while when everything starts to put out pods!! Good luck. The lay out is quite organised too mate well done.
 
thanks all...just a labor of love as I have said many times before...

and Derek...let me tell you...it is great getting in the heat early in the morning for a couple of hours getting soaking wet with sweat then climbing the ladder and sploooooossssshhhh....refreshing...

got about 350 this year...fell short of the 400 goal...simply got tired of transplanting...
 
tomatos are infested with spidermites and dying...it is my fault for not recognizing it sooner but they are goners now...just hoping they don't spread to my peppers...this wet weather will help with them but I am probably going to pull the plants, stuff them in the brown yard bags then commit chemical warfare on the raised bed....I have now realized that what I thought was early blight last year was actually spider mites...two years of lost tomatos to being a dumbass...
 
AJ,

Being new around here I read a lot about how you always have a huge and spectacular grow each year. When I saw that first sill frame of your movie above showing your pool pump and the plants around it... My first thought was HOLY COW that is a massive Hydro Pump, I can wait to see how his plants look. Feeling pretty silly now... hehehe. Beautiful garden, even without my imagined "AJ's Super Hydro Chile Pump 9000XL" integrated into it.

PS. Feel free to sent some of that rain out here to me in El Paso. My plants are shriveling up and blowing away with the tumbleweeds.
 
Your plants look great as usual AJ, shame about the tomatoes though. I think I'd get fed up of transplanting well before 350.....
 
Thats a great video AJ, really nice neat set-up, does your whole crop remain in the pot's or do you plant out some, I wasn't sure how to do my first crop. Keeping them in pots would be great for me and my backyard.

Great Stuff
 
thanks again all...

beaglestrom...I think our rain event is about over but I am glad we got what we did...ended up getting another 1 1/4" overnight for a total of 5.75 for the past two weeks...not bad for July in north Texas...you know, you got me thinking...I could use the pool as a nutrient reservoir and feed a lot of plants that way...but...the wife simply said are you effin nuts?....

Aussie_Hellbilly - all my plants stay in containers for many reasons, but the main one is I can move them when desired/needed and I don't have to tear up the yard...I don't like getting mud on my bare feet...reminds me of chicken sh** squeezing between my toes when I was real little growing up on the farm...they still get big enough to give me good crops...
 
Hey AJ,

I'm glad to see some of my plants from the seeds you sent to me are not that far behind growth-wise to what yours look like. Gives me hope~

I hope marketing has been good for you this spring/summer.

And I also had the last person I gave some plants to come up to me at market today, very excited, and tell how their plants are just going bonkers, They've probably doubled in size in the 2 weeks they've had them and are loaded with blooms! Just wanted to let you know the JOY....and the (forthcoming PAIN LOL)....continues to spread.


You really do an awesome job with your peppers and it's a great encouragement to see what others do.
 
wow 350 plants.
that's gonna be a pretty crazy harvest. can't wait to see the pics once they starting coming in.
thanks for sharing, AJ.
