It really did happen! (a mid season narrative by chile_freak)

Being a chef, I have little free time. most of what i do have I spend w/ the little lady, over attending to my peppers and other vegetables and of course here! It has been said Pics or it didnt happen, well here's proof that it did, last year was my first ever season growing, this is the second,unfortunately I had no time start a traditional seed to pod glog, but here is a shot nonetheless.

these are the last 40 or so that still need to go into their final homes

[Jamison]

Very nice man, very nice!

 

[Durham Bull]

Very nice garden CFreak...

 

[chile_freak]

d bull, jamison thanks guys! by the way sy checked out your grow looking good man, all of us in NC have had the slug probs this year brotha, too much rain and no winter the pests r out in force this year! Dave I got tons of Jonah seeds left from last years grow if you need, let me know. It is one of my favorites, both the plant and the chiles, unfortunately it was the first casuality in the OW war so it was inevitably the first seed sewed this season it was very prolific for me last year and is looking good again, both the two in containers and the one in the chile patch, took no chances this season planted 3 and to answer your question that will have to be answered in december, it was a bit late to start another germination this season( that and the fact that i had over 200 seedlings already!, the little woman is already on my case about growing so many, if i had planted any more I might wake up dead ( to quote dave mustaine of megadeath)

though as a whole i had great germination rates 312 germinated outta 348 planted, of course i lost some of those right away, then i lost a tray of 72, cuz it got too cold in the garage where they were, c'est la vie! lost some more gave some away, sitting between 160-170 now and im pretty happy about that!

 

[chile_freak]
