Dog is only focused and squirrels and lizards, of which we have plenty of both. At least that is one thing I don't have to fret about. Can't teach him to hunt aphids... not an option.
They're cheaper than ceramic pots, which I would love, but can't right now. Plus they look better than my 5-gallon buckets, so the wife is happy.
Works for me.
The newbys are also taking off. so are the bugs. It's ON!
Been a little behind lately (wife would say I have been a BIG behind...). Progress on growing this year, starting to get red bhuts, yellow scotch bonnets, jalapenos, and other varieties. My newbies are a mix of mild to hot chocolate-style peppers from around the world. Plants are all outside, some already producing pods. These are my 4-yr old red bhut, 2-yr old scorpion, and 3 yr-old scotch bonnet, just in the backyard ring of fire. Much more across the lot, which contributes to the overall harvest. Yes, that is a Roma tomato.

So things are getting underway, with the warm, wet weather coming on. Scorpion peppers doing well. Red Bhuts also.Lots of Habaneros from overwinters, and a bunch of new varieties are starting to show pods. I went for milder to medium chocolate style peppers this season, but also have some 7-pots that are scaring me. Also growing other garden veggies just in case. Squash, cucs, tomatoes, beans, etc.

Sorry about last pic. It looked OK until I committed. Hanging garden. We are getting afternoon monsoons now which I am concerned will cause leaf spot and other issues. So far, So good.
I am having to harvest daily and do something each weekend, which so far is smoking and dehydrating peppers. Will eventually make another ferment, but I want to have some of the new varieties involved.

Yup, Bhut Jolokias are kickin'. Just smoked up a batch yesterday, dehydrated today, for powders. Got a few days reprieve on the rain. Causes a lot of leaf drop when things get too wet. Have several varieties from this year with peppers, but they are all slow to ripen on the plant. Everything is still green.
True, gonna have to stick a few under shade from rain. Leaf drop on my 2 new babes 
With all the rain we are getting this week, I am getting leaf drop an most of my plants. Have had to rescue a few and put them under cover to dry out. The older/larger ones seem to fair best, but the young ones are struggling.
