Well I only add compost to larger, older, outdoor plants

 

[Pepper Ridge Farm]

Not much to say but my plants have hit a growth spurt and really taking off in the last week. The weather here has been extremely hot so twice a day watering right now. I am getting ready to pull my eight best rarest seed plants out of the hedge when I am sure the pods are true and mix in a bag of chicken poo compost in their final pot up. I know I need to mow the lawn but hard to do right now on one foot. Thanks for browsing.

What a growth spurt!

PRF ..... Those are looking good , I thought mine made a jump.... your's really did. How hot is "extremely hot" where you are ? The last couple of weeks I transplant my plants.The temps were up to 100 degrees 3 or 4 days and darn close to that for the most part. The temps dropped into the 90-85 degree range and my plants are looking much better. It could be the drop in temps or that the plants are established and better settled into their new digs.

About your lawn ..... A lawn bowy or lawn girl.... rent a rider mower .... off road in-line skate.....

Peace & I hope you figure out the lawn thing ,

Your hedge is getting nice and thick. It's gonna be difficult deciding on the best 8.

Forget the grass and kick back in that hammock.

Geez, that's quite the forest you have going there. Very impressive.

Just curious- what direction is that fence in relation to your house?

That's a beautiful site Cappy.

 

[logchief]

Wow, PRF, just finished going all the way through this post. Sure got a lot of info. Your plants look great, how's the ankle doing

 

[bigt]

Nice work Cappy, those plants look crazy tall to me. Especially for mid June. Maybe that used potting soil has a little juice left in it after all. You'll be bad ankle deep in pods before you know it. The heat up here in Virginia has been nasty too. 90's all weekend and today.

Hey there PRF, that hedge is turning into "the great wall of peppers". Looking good! How's the ankle going?

Have you got any recent pics of the mother brain? I'd sure love to see some more of that one.

 

[SouthernYooper]

Holy cow......How do you care for so many? lol. I'd love to do something that big, but it'd be too overwhelming I think. Who knows. Either way you are going to be swimming in peppers.

 

[boutros]

Your hedge is getting nice and thick.

Yes!!!

I hope you really, really like your douglah pods Cappy. You'll probably have a few this year.

+1 for that

The hedge row is looking great! Can't wait to see it in full production too.

With all of your plants looking so drop dead gorgeous, I wish you luck in trying to find the best. It's gonna be tough with plants that awesome.

Cheers, mate.
