Garden is filling in nicely. Have you seen any snakes now that it's getting warmer? I hope not. Have a good weekend Scott.
Thanks Chuck!
Just one garter snake, it was hiding in the manure pile, kinda surprised me. I've been watching closely for those Rattlers, I'm sure I'll see some.
Back atcha enjoy the weekend!

Looking good man.
Have to admit I'm jealous that you've got ripe pods and I haven't even started hardening off yet.
Thanks Trent!
The first pods are coloring up. I expect a ton this season!

OMG, Scott!
That is how a garden should look like!
Amazing that you already have ripe pods on the Hungarian Paprika...and pods on the others. You are going to swim in pods this season, my friend!
Thanks Balázs!
Everything is finally coming on, even found a few ripe Tomatoes this morning.

Lov eme some jimmys. wish i had planted them this year after seeing your pic!
I've never tasted one, from reading they dry them and fry them. Any cooking ideas using them would be much appreciated.

WhoooA!
You're having ripe pods before I get in the ground.
I must be latitude-impaired or somethin'.
Those Nardellos are a hard workin' pepper. The pods will soon outweigh the stalks and leaves.
Good idea on the baskets. I may use my 4 cage on my poblanos, since I'm stringing up the tomatoes.
The OW JA Hab is a rock-star !! I'd call it Elvis.
That garden is just picture perfect. I don't know how you do it with 97° and wind. That's some tough gardening
I'm already whining with some breezy 80°s coming next week.
If you had a spot to sow that Cilantro in Oct-Nov, looks like it would like Tejas winter. Celery too for that matter.
My cilantro sprouts over wintered to 0° with just a light row cover. But my volunteers just now sprouting will bolt like last year I'm guessing.
Don't work too hard.
Thanks JJJ!
Those Nardello's are hard working, they have more pods per plant than most of the others.
Would you believe most of the baskets are from 82? Some are rotting at the place that's ground level, but they still work great for peppers.
The JA Hab's are super growers too, I received the seeds last year in late April and they grew like crazy, podding all summer long into December.
The heat is something I got used to, I like to go out first light and work until 1-2PM, then crack a Shiner and soak up some AC
The garden handles it OK, but highs of 85° would make for a much better producing garden. I push the early spring so things get set before the heat shuts things down.
Good idea on the Cilantro, I didn't know it was that cold hardy.
So today I put up the sunshades, the forecast is low 90's all week and May is when it gets hot around here. I used to hate May when I was an auto technician, cuz it meant hot until mid September. I'm going for four days between waterings, so far things are looking good. Deep roots is what I'm after, I now have a good 16-18"s of nice rich soil in the garden before we hit sand.
1,200 sq feet covered now.
Anyone know what kind of pepper this is? No heat and they make great poppers. LB was stealing them when green.
I'm thinking this is an Inca Red Drop. It seems I totally messed up my labeling.
First Pob, the water spots are from Calmag foliar applications.
Brown Egg. Of course it's not labeled correctly.
Another mystery, maybe I should rename the glog to Devv's mystery grow
Bell's are doing well
Not sure, but it's an Annuum. Sad isn't it?
Mr. Kurt's doing well too!
That's 10!
