Thanks! I need to get the rest of the mosquito netting up before birds start pecking holes in my little pods. 
 
Hopefully see lots of variability. I'd like to find red, yellow and chocolate phenos in some the crosses and continue with the best of each.

I made a potentially fatal mistake for my beds. Several weeks ago I sprayed some the mulch areas with roundup pro. Then yesterday without thinking I scooped up some of the more broken down composted mulch into the beds and tilled it in. It wasn't until I was done and putting the tiller away that I seen the weed sprayer and it reminded me of what I had done. 
 
The mix was from last year so it was old and potentially weak. It did kill most of what was sprayed with it though. From what I read online it's supposed to breakdown in soil fairly quickly but also says it can have a half life of 2-197 days. That's a wide range. Only thing I can think to do is plant a tester in one the beds that got the most mulch and see what happens. I'm assuming at worst i'll have slightly deformed growth initially.

Round-up is absorbed by the leaves, so not sure you did much
harm, Michael.  My groundskeeper buddy said it breaks down
quickly for all practical purposes, but he's not growing veggies,
either.  
 
Your plants really developed nicely in the GH - and your
plant-out looks great - kill the leaf-eaters!

Yea it seems like it all broke down thankfully. As for the leaf eaters hopefully i'll be able to spray azamax either 7am tomorrow morning or later that evening. Evening probably better. Haven't seen any with the uv light.
 
Your plants looking nice and healthy. I really like the piquin x goatsweed pheno with black upright pods. Looking forward to seeing how the omni bonnet does too. Hopefully the azamax will get rid of whatever is chewing up your leaves.

Thanks, I sprayed everything down with azamax the other day and got the beds all covered with mosquito netting. Mostly to keep the birds from pecking holes in the pods but for isolation as well.

it's staying in the greenhouse, though it's so hot in there it  keeps   dropping  it's tiny baby pods so maybe i'll move it out  with some netting over it.  
 
Another interesting plant in the greenhouse is this  pequin x goatsweed with mutant pods, heavy producer and first to pod and ripen

The yard looks fantastic! You've been busy.

The plants are awesome sad well. Hope you get slammed with pods.

May I ask? Where did you acquire the Netting for the isolation?
