Devv's 2014- Stick a fork in me, I'm done....

Time for the 2014 start...
 
Many of these plants were made possible by the generous people of the THP sending me seeds and pods Thanks!
 
I'm looking forward to warmer weather and dirt day!
 
I have a bunch of seeds started, and plants at all the stages.
 
Here's the grow bench, a T8 x4 on top and T5 x4 on the bottom, as you can see it's loaded.
 

 
Top rack:

 
Bottom rack:

 
I like starting the seeds in Jiffy Pellets, as soon as they stand up I trim the mesh off and plant them 1/2" proud in a pot, or in this case a cup.
 
Red Rocotto the lonely Pube..

 
A few plants living under the T5, I'm super impressed with this light!

omg that looks so good

 

[thirdcoasttx]

Same has happened to me the past couple weeks and all my plants are in containers. I would water in the morning before work, zero percent chance of rain and at noon... boom heavy rain!! I thank thats what stressed the bbg7s so much.

I just hope it doesn't cancel my liquid fert application I made this morning. But we'll always take the rain here; especially after the last several years. The cool thing is I can refill my water jugs. I used almost all of it this morning.

Podage! Can't wait here on the East....

 

[stickman]

Serrano

 

 
Quite the contrast Scott.
 
Everything looks great, and your garden's just bustin' out! Foodies are a big bonus too!

 

[Roguejim]

You are the King of Serranos and Jalapenos!  Those are two of my favorite peppers.  I need to go back through your glog where you spilled the beans on your nute regimen.  Two questions.  What are a couple of favorite ways you use Jimmy Nardellos?  Do you hire migrants workers to do the picking??

 

[Devv]

I'm sure they'll pod up just fine. You have nice plants to work with

I'll just say we have different schedules
 
I'll be down to just tomatoes in 3 weeks or less and your garden will be in full swing.

This is my first year growing the Nardello's, I have some drying, as the traditional way to prepare them is to dry and fry. So far we've made them into a stir fry, used them on Ka-Bobs, and had them on a sandwich. Just a good all around pepper. It has a nice mild flavor, a very good flavor

 Do you mean to dry them like those Mexican chiles you see in bags at the market?  "Dry and fry" is a new one on me!

 

[Jamison]

Man O man Scotty boy!  I got to work for the week and don't check in and then it takes me half the day to check up!  Everything looks spectacular!

Yes sir! I'm letting them dry whole.

It's that time of year!

 

[OCD Chilehead]

Holy smokes Scott. The garden has come alive. Pods are looking amazing. Thanks for the food,pod, and plant picks. Maybe I could talk you into selling me a couple seeds this year. Hope your knee isn't to bad after all those pics. Texas here I come.

Okay, so once they're fried, how do use them? I fry up certain Mexican varieties for hot sauce, but that's not how you would use fried Nardellos, is it? Would you rehydrate the Nardellos? Thanks for your patience, Scott!

I'll send you all you need later in the season. The wife had a good idea and went back to the house for a kitchen step ladder, I sat on the lower step. Is good as long as I don't squat. I need to behave and stay off of it. The swelling is worse today above the patella. But OK, I can walk normally

Jim,
 
I can't find the webpage that said they dried and then fried them. I know I read it when I came close to harvesting the first one. Supposedly that was the way the Nardello's used them. I'll do some more looking...

 

[meatfreak]

Good to see the Jal's are coming through, Scott! Man that Serrano plant is loaded up, are you gonna pickle some? Haven't thought about doing that last season which I regret. Looking forward to the Jimmy Nardello also, mine has just started to pod up. Thanks for the shot of the Indian Red, they look a lot like mine last season. Curious what you think of it's taste. Excellent idea on using the zucchini's on the kebab's, gonna try that also once I got some ready. They look delish.

Okay.  It just seems to me that a dried and fried pepper would have an awful texture by itself, unless it was either ground up for a sauce, or rehydrated, and then ground up or blended.
