Jamison's "Red Dirt Grow" PLANTOUT 5/4/14

Sawyer · Feb 3, 2014

Great-looking plants and a helluva deal on the Promix. Hopefully the bales actually did belong to the pizza guy.

I like the PVC. Do you have any stability problems with that set up, without lateral support?

Thanks Stefan! They are the Red Lavas. Can't wait for them pods!
Thanks Triple J! I might do a few containers this year, and mostly just for seed purposes. I sowed 4 more Rocoto varieties this morning, and if they sprout they will be going into containers so I can keep them in the shade. I know the sun is hot down here!

Yeah, they looked great on pictures. I'm trying the Yellow one myself this year.

I'm jealous......your plants are moving right along.........and you scored a couple of bales............at a dirt cheap price. I got a feeling the pizza sauce might be alittle bit bland at that joint. The dude was probably going to grow Basil, Thyme, Oregano and Fennel...with that Pro-mx........... :liar

I can't wait to see the rows of Tennessean homegrown peppers.

That garden plot looks awesome. I wish I had a place to be able to put in a plot or a greenhouse. Unfortunately I'm renting and really don't want to invest in the land. With my luck the landlord would raise the rent on me for improving the place!

Hey Sawyer! No stability issues. Seems to do the trick. Next year I'll def build something more efficient.

Or maybe Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme.

wow... things look great... hope them pink tigers do well for ya... FB someone posted.. no tiger stripes on theirs...

maximumcapsicum · Feb 10, 2014

Jamison, your goats weed flakes are fantastic! Been subbing them for cayenne in a couple of dishes and eating them straight on pizza. Easily in the top ten on my annuum list. Thinking of putting another seed in a pellet. According to Shane they make good bonchis too.

Jamison · Mar 2, 2014

Time for an little update boys and girls! The babies been getting nothing but plain ol' water except the last round of watering I added some CaMg+. Foliar fed once with some worm tea and thats about it. I think I'll get lucky with not having to transplant into bigger containers. Seems like they will be fine for the rest of the month in their solo cups. As soon as the weather is consistently nice, I'll put them out on the front porch with eastern exposure to harden em off. Can't wait for that. I really want to get some tomatoes started along with other veggies as well. I have another light, but am honestly too lazy to find a spot to set it up for the other veggies. Who knows, might get some motivation somewhere to do that. Been tilling the garden still, It's roughly 20x40 right now. Would like to get another couple rows in but damn, this soil is hard! That tiller is kickin my ass! Here's a couple pics for you wonderful people here.

The Rocoto Crew. Seeds from Nigel and GaGrowhead. Thanks guys!

Red Congo Trinidad

Yellow 7

Goat's Weed

Urfa Biber

Pink Tigers

Orange Thai

Yaki Blue

Chocolate Scotch Bonnet

All the babies.

Gonna have to take inventory again. Added a bunch more. Will post a final list up soon. C'mon April!

JJJessee · Mar 2, 2014

April is just one windy month away.

Looking stellar, Jamison.
I've read, been advised, and finally got around to apply green sand. Actually it's a special clay that helps "breakdown" or increase the tilth of ordinary clay.

The good thing about clay is, by the time you get it fully amended, you have 2-3 times as much soil as you started with

Y7 & Pink Tigers are my faves from above, they're looking really good!

GA Growhead · Mar 2, 2014

The tigers are beautiful! Rich purple leaves! Glad the pubescens are up!

Devv · Mar 2, 2014

Those tigers are some beautiful plants!

Overall the grow is on track for a great season. Plants are happy gals!

Yeah, when I was your age I had a front tine tiller, they can wear you out!

Don't know how heavy your soil is, but I have in the past watered mine really well a week in advance so the tiller would go deeper. Just sayin'

I love them Tigers too man. Soo, so cool lookin. Front tine tiller is what I'm using in fact. And what a beast it is. Been tilling a couple days after it rains... def makes a difference! Got a couple 3 bags of shredded leaves today to throw in there and gonna have to go back and grab some mulch to go with it. Give er the deep tilling after that. and hopefully the plot will be ready. Then I gotta throw a fence up around it for all these damn dogs in the neighborhood. Thanks for stoppin by Scott!

GA Growhead · Mar 2, 2014

+1 on the fence. Totally worth it. I have the rabbit fencing. Tighter holes on the bottom and 2.5 ft tall I think. Keep the kids and dogs out, even though the dog will jump the fence and hang with me while I'm inside. She stays out otherwise.
My tiller if front tine also. Beasting it the whole time!

Trippa · Mar 2, 2014

Loving the baby photos ... Would have to agree the yellow 7s are great!!
What's the deal with the Yaki Blues?? Background etc?? They look great

Scarecrw · Mar 3, 2014

Nice job all around. I like the pink tigers as well. I see them on more and more glogs. Looks like the seeds will be spreading even more next year. Keep up the good work.

stickman · Mar 3, 2014

Anything worth doing is always a lot of work in the preparation stages J, but it pays bigtime at the finish. The nice thing about it is that once you've broken up the sod and compacted soil, if you take care not to pack it down again and keep adding humus every year it'll never be this hard again. Nice looking nursery ya got there too, and lots of Pubes... good on ya!

coheed196 · Mar 3, 2014

Everything lookin real nice there Jamison. How are you enjoying this here southern life? I know you'll definitely have a much longer growing season which is always a plus.

We need to have a get together soon. According to the phone gps, we're 2 hours 4 mins apart or 118 miles lol. Once the season really kicks in, I really think we should man. What you think?
