After disappearing for the last 6 months I have finally got time now to start growing some chile. I did not have the time to start any plants from seed this year but I did get a nice selection from Cross Country Nurseries, The Chile Pepper Institute, and my local Nursery (OK OK I also bought a few from Lowes). Here they are relaxing under the eaves on their way to being hardened. This is the fist year I had no issues with it. I think the main difference is the lack of wind. It has been a nice warm spring with only 4 or 5 really windy days.
I just finished getting all my plants in the ground yesterday. Here are a few shots...
Here is the overall shot
The area of the beds on the right with no straw have too much shade to plant. If anybody has some recommendations of what might grow well with maybe 2 hours of direct morning sun please let me know. My peppers that were there last season only grew a few inches. Is there a vegetable or fruit or herb that does well with shade? Heck even a flower plant to attract bees that will work in the shade would be OK. here is a birdseye shot showing the extent of the shade...
