+1 on 320!

Glad to see your daughter is out there with you, and she likes to take pics too. Can't beat the family!

Great pics Mike! Love the dragonfly shots.

Your container MoA looks like a drawing. Amazing work. Plant looks like its really thriving. It's been one of my more finicky plants for some reason... maybe they don't like the big city.

Ripening Naga is going to taste great. And your sauce tutorial is going to be a huge help. Thanks for sharing.

So, Mike, is that characteristic of the EOBs, that they point skyward, then drop to normal? I replanted some missing plants today and only had one NWYB for four losses. So I went from 10 NWYB & 7 EOBs to 7 NWYB and 8 EOBs. (Still have some spots yet to be filled elsewhere.)

May have to start calling you and your daughter the Doctors Doolittle of Dragonflies.

Me too Jamie! She's had her heart set on a new camera for her birthday. Now her new Nikon can leave me behind with my old Canon.

Thanks Scott! I'm pretty sure she will be a long term gardner (herbs anyway) in her life and photographer. Her fascination with the Dragonflies is growing.

Thanks Adam! I have plenty of those finicky plants as well! Glad I could help, I feel I learn something everytime I try. Eventually I might command something other than my work!

Most of the pods are pendant or end up that way eventually in the past. If there were erect pods before this season, I did not notice and don't see any in old pics. There have been several that are erect as well as pendant this season which I find interesting. Also the plant I've been posting pics of has a little texture to the pods that I don't think was present before. Mostly smooth Congo, habish, or bonnet like shape. Maybe some old Douglah gene's coming thru. I'm very pleased at this point after a fairly rough outdoor start.

I have two NWYB that I need to update in your thread. Just now have blooms. Big dark green leaves with spacious room in the branching. The unknown pods (not MOA) I asked you about maybe NWYB, the leaves don't match up very well with the NWYB leaves from mine. Those pods seem very bhut loooking to me. I will keep an eye on them.

As far as I know none of the animals have started talking, but I think I saw my daughter whispering to the dragonflies!

Here's a old pic of the EOB a couple seasons back in raised bed. Not sure if I showed this to any of the folks I sent seeds to.

edit; There is a pod at the very top of the pic that is from a different plant.
Later good folks of THP!

You haven't shown this picture, that is absolutely beautiful with all those pale green pods

Thanks for the updates on the Pimenta Lisa, very excited how yours will turn out. Like the Saras Green, it looks like an very interesting variety

Have a good weekend!

Thanks Stefan! I think this shot is the overwintered F1. Image taken in 2012. The P. Lisa are a joy to bring to life! Like the Sara's quite abit too.
We are headed out of town in the next 30 min. My daughter wants to go to a zoo in San Antonio.

My first Jay's Peach an Red Ghost Scorpion's from Jason. Love these!

Another Unknown Brain Strain Cross from Greg

My new Tepin x Quintisho F1 cross. C. chinense ripens red so far. Hopeing for an occasional Yellow pod. Took me awhile to be convinced it actually took. Very hot

Have a great weekend!

Mike

Devv · Jun 28, 2014

Thanks guy's!

I start vacation tommorrow! My wife was not able to get the same days off as me so I will be caticng up on neglected chores Monday. Here's some of our trip to the San Antonio zoo pics and we did not forget the Alamo! My daughter took 1100 pics with her new camera. I took around 160. Here's a few.

Cheers everybody!

Devv · Jun 29, 2014

Dang Mike!

You were right around the corner from us here. The riverwalk is a nice place to hangout, if you have a hotel

Looks like your daughter has a nice SLR, the new ones handle color sooo much better.

And I see you have a Shiner in front of you, wasn't your first was it? :drooling:

Glad 'yall got some family time in. We're off to Long Island Thursday to visit LB's kin.

Have a great week!

Pepper Ridge Farm · Jun 29, 2014

Very nice glog of your garden Mike have a good vacation I can never leave my plants for a week in the middle of summer. Pray for rain while your away!

OCD Chilehead · Jun 29, 2014

Nice to see you get some quality down time with family. Note to self. Take a break.

Thanks for the pics.

We've had the kids in San Antonio a couple times years previous but had failed as parents to get them to the Riverwalk and the Alamo. My daughter wanted the zoo for her birthday so I made sure to correct the other parental lapse. We had pretty good time and no Shiner has been in front of me plenty. Always a winner in my book. I am much more of a fan of Belgium type ales. I am constantly trying new stuff too.

Have fun on your trip! Thanks.

Thanks Cappy! I certainly couldn't leave without the drip irrigation. I've tried friends in the past and it just doesn't work. Thanks for stopping in!

Thanks Chuck! Sometimes it's hard to get away from everything.

I bought a new lawn mower this week so that's how I will start my vacation tomorrow.

Later folks!

GA Growhead · Jun 29, 2014

Looks like you had a great time! Looks like you have great kids too!
That snake is cool. Do you remember what it is?
Good luck in the yard. I actually find mowing the lawn quite peaceful.

Spicegeist · Jun 29, 2014

Thanks so much Jason for the kind comments! For those who don't know that I replied about the snake in Jason's glog; it is a Rhinocerous viper and one of a few types of Puff Adders.

Beer, vacation, and my family, all are capable of making me happy. Not neccessarily in that order! Thanks Charles.

Great to hear Jamie! I don't see why Florida would be much different that Texas summer heat, but I've never been so what do I know? Good luck with the hardening off! That plant sure looks healthy.

Early July update;
Not sure who this is but will look it up soon and edit. ~~Best theory now~~ is; Immature Band-Winged Dragonlet Changes considerably
♀ Erthrodiplax umbrata

This Damselfly is eating a mosquito while taking a flying break on my daughter's hand.

An assortment of pics of the new raised bed; There are several container plants in the bed which I do to attract more benificials to the bed plants when they were not so strong. Of course they help with what the eye perceive's as attractive too.

Chiclayo plant well loaded. Ripens yellow I believe.

Trenton Farmer's Market Scotch Bonnet from Jason. Also have some that are more pointy on bottom.

Hope everyone is enjoying their week!

Mike

Spicegeist · Jul 4, 2014

How are your Jay's Peach growing for you? Mine have been slower to set than some of my other varieties...
