Hello everybody! I'm late again to the adventures of pepper growing. Seeds didn't hit the towel until March 6, so I have some still below, some hooks, and some little plants. Not too much to look at right now but how about a growlist.

And here's the whole lot. I don't have much room...just what I can fit under a card table.

Thanks for stopping by!

Then you need to move to Tejas. Here's a teaser...we have 20 acres, a small home. About 2,000 sf with a 1,000 sf shop. Yearly taxes on the property...$1,700. That and no state taxes.
 
Exactly why I bailed from New York in 1978.
 

Trust me I would be there tomorrow if I could. My wifes aunt is a tiny 80 something year old chinese woman and she manages that entire property on her own. She does controlled burns and all sorts of crazy stuff for a woman her age. She's a trip. Heres a pic of her and my wife. You can see why she would probably need some help. Pack my bags cuz I'm out of cali as soon as possible. Lol

No worries at all! Sounds like a life plan that you've thought out. You'll have plenty of mesquite to not cook beans with. Lol. It's probably humid there. It's humid here compared to where I'm from.

I just ordered some Dyna-Gro Foliage Pro 9-3-6. Gonna give that a whirl this season.

Yeah it is! But most think it's just a weed. I make furniture out of it. And not that worm holed stuff you see on the Internet with the sap wood incorporated into the mix. I make "fine furniture". A few years ago I had a few ranchers and a large tree trimming business take down some bull Mesquite trees. I hauled them off , cut the logs into boards, and made a master bedroom suite out of some of it. A king sized bed, took 2 of us to bring in the headboard, 2 5 drawer dressers, 2 night stands, a 2 seater computer desk, and and entertainment center. And when I made the kitchen cabinets, I transitioned into the dining room with the Mesquite. Still not done, as they don't give me enough hours in a single day...

Do you have some project pictures of that? I'd love to see your work, I'm a sucker for woodworking.

Is that a fertilizer or a potting mix? Hope you have some good results with it!

It's a liquid fertilizer that's pretty concentrated. Not sure of the exact ratio for outdoor gardening, but it's less than a teaspoon per gallon. Like 1/2 tsp.

Thank you very much!!!

 

[FearTheReaper]

They are all looking fantastic! Nice work so far!

Keep us posted on how that foliage pro works out for you. I think I'm gonna make the switch from the grow to the foliage pro once this bottle is done.

I sure will. And it'll be sooner than later. It says it'll deliver on Tuesday.

Today I started the hardening off process. Not my favorite time of the year. In and out. Up and down the stairs. At least I don't have very many. But it came a lot sooner than I was expecting. I guess I should say YAY! Getting them ready for the wind and getting some much-needed natural UV's. "Only shade for you today, little fellas." I'll start introducing full sun tomorrow at a half hour to a full hour at a time.

 

[Genetikx]

Looks like we have similar plans for today. Also looks like we both need to restain our decks lol. We're a lot alike, you and I haha

 

[FearTheReaper]

You guys seem super confident that spring has finally shown up!  I was pondering starting the process too this week, but the lows yesterday (it was about 30 degrees here) kinda scared me a little.
 
How many days do you spend hardening them?

Ha! Must be a midwestern thing. Yeah, they're calling for 68°F today and 78°F the next two days. 60's after that. No time like the present! But I'll procrastinate longer on staining the deck. Lol.
