Very nice peppers and patio AJ :) It must be blazingly hot from now on over there... How do you irrigate your pots?
Best wishes

Sorry I missed your question Margarida...I promise I was not ignoring you...I hand water everything with a hose...takes between 1 and 2 hours depending on how deep I water...next year I will have an automated drip system in place...but to tell you the truth...I kinda enjoy looking at each individual plant for a few seconds....gives me a chance to look for critters, ripe peppers, health of plant, etc....


OJ>>>>clean that dang yard up and post some pics of your plants....did they get windblown really bad over the past week? did you smell my ripe naga up there?... :lol:

Hey I did smell something different in the air. lol Hey most of my plants survived the storms and some are really enjoying the swinging of the breeze. lol Hey I am heading to the garden and take some pics right now. That way you can look at the difference they were and now :hell:
 
Wow AJ I knew you were growing a lot, but DAMN!!! Pepper Heaven. How old are those Habs in the pics you just posted? Oh and one more thing, nice obligatory shot of the beer by the grill! :cheers:
 
JayT...all the plants in the single pics were planted 29 Jan...if you are talking about the hab plant loaded with peppers, that plant was cut back Dec 5th to a nub and overwintered...

You're right AJ, but nevertheless with your summer, you must have to water them 2 or 3 times a day, no? It must be very tiresome with so much beautiful peppers that you have over there ! They stay in full sun all day long? They are very pretty, though, I wish mine were like half like that :)

I have been watering twice a day...early morning, late evening, but decided yesterday to cut back to just late evening...later on this summer I may have to water more but we are already in our summer time pattern here...high 90s F every day and mid to high 70s F at night...

some are in full sun all day long, some get morning sun, some get afternoon sun, and some are just getting indirrect light...just depends on what side of my yard they are on...

I never get tired of looking at the plants...they help me learn patience.....

I am sure your plants will be pretty too Margarida..
