Big Jim's Fabulous Pepper Adventures

What's happening everybody. My name is Big Jim and this is my first year attempting to grow a variety of assorted hot peppers. I am very excited to learn from everyone here and through my experiences. I wanted to document my Fabulous Pepper Adventures for everyone as well as myself for educational (and comical) purposes. Welcome to my glog and happy reading!

WOW, 650+ plants that's a tall order. I grew 500+ supers last season and had to overcome an inadequate irrigation setup. After that they exploded in size and cranked out the pods. I made 10 gallons of flakes despite losing 150 plants to an early fall frost and hurricane "Irene".

Good luck!!
 
I know 650+ plants is a lot of plants for my first time, but my wife and I were given a crazy 'once in a lifetime' opportunity to use someones 9000 square foot fenced in garden and greenhouse totally for free and we just couldn't pass up the opportunity. :pray:

Its funny, having grown up on acreage all my life, I kind of take it for granted...

I guess I have about 4000 sq ft dedicated to garden this year. could have done more, but its a serious time committment after a certain point :)
 
Ok, I have my seeds in the germination station and everything is all set to go!
