[Maligator]

Here is to you having a better grow season w/o bird interference! Pot em up and let em grow up big and strong!

 

[Alphaeon]

Thanks! All are potted and we have been harvesting. Old pics there. Went to get the digicam and the batteries are dead.

Always kids will use, then just leave it instead of charging the batteries.


Maligator, been following your thread for a few weeks

Still waiting on the batteries

Sky rats(pigeons) they was made a real mess. Carried off some, chewed some to a nub and up rooted the rest.

Last year it was tree rats(squirrels) taking tomatoes

Quick tease... Biker billy Jals. Grown from seed. 4 plants in an 18 gallon container 3/4 filled with MG potting mix.

Got 20 or so peppers coming in and yet to harvest from this plant.

First plant is a Yellow Scotch Bonnet (Hirts)... beat up, full of white flies when I got 3 weeks ago but making a comeback. Second is a store bought Cowhorn. Third is from Bonnies called Yummy(sweet pepper)

Red Carib from a small local garden center and an Orange Hab from Home Depot.

3 more Yellow Bonnets from Hirts. Sprayed all 4 with insecticide and put them in a cooler overnite. No more white flies. Removing the damaged leaves as new growth appears, but don`t know what to expect from these.

Add 3 Hungarian wax to the list

Repoted the Carib and Hab into 10 gallon pots and move the single yellow scotch bonnet into a 5 gallon today. Also added pine mulch to half my pots. Still need to do the rest tomorrow.


A question... the garden supply had hardwood mulch, pine bark and cedar. All were close to the same price. Is there an advantage from one to the other?

Great man, you are not as beginner as well as I thought,
Beautiful plantation you already have there.
I wish you success and a great harvest.
Take care
