Good looking plants!

I had to look up Jackson too! I'm from Joplin, but spent a lot of time with my dad driving to Arkansas as a kid. Walnut Ridge, Jonesboro area.

Good luck with your season!

I did transplanting all day long it was in the 70s but had a wind blowing with occasionally some gust
So the seedlings got some stress but I I figure it will just make them stronger

21 Stuffing Scotch Bonnets wow! The most I have of any variety

Cherio Roxa ,Aji Cito & there is a few Dulce Sol in the back.

Brazilian Starfish,Aji Melocoton & Dulce Sol the one before Brazilian Starfish

(Red Mushroom &Red Habanero are going to a friend) There are a few Aji Amarillos in here as well 3 White Fatalii six Bahamian Goats and the tray has the other baccatums.
Just in time cause I got my package form wicked mike and mom is bring it tomorrow.
The rest I put back in the 4 tier greenhouse

Well awhile back I picked up some herbs and more flowers will have to decide what all to plant basically making my own mixes up
I got Thai Siam Queen Basil & have seed left over form last year of anise
Also got a cool mustard Mostaza Red Giant(says to sow in early spring & mid summer for fall crop I plan to do both)
Flowers Apricot HollyHock ,Passion Flower
Hellichrysum, Parkers Gold yarrow,Alyssum Rossie O Day, Nasturtium Dwarf Jewel Mix, Balsam Camellia Mixed colors also have mammoth dill
Ps some of these I may have mentioned before if so I am sorry.
I also have these bush beans Royal Burgundy need to figure out how to fit them in might not have room.
I am going to plant sweet dumpling & sweet potato squash at moms and would plant the beans but the deer are bad need to figure out something to repel them.
Last year they had these herb plants at menards that keep them away but by the time we decided to get them they was sold out and never got any more of them.

Runescape · Mar 18, 2015

Very cool of mike to hook you up...Nice list

Plantguy76 · Mar 19, 2015

Well I have had some setbacks lost most of the red mushrooms & habaneros I was going to give a friend.
I also lost most of my dulce sols and one aji Amarillo ,one aji melocoton .
This has been a learning lesson don't transplant your seedlings into bigger pots outside when it is in the seventys with a breeze.
You will just get badly sun burned and lose seedlings
The strong will survive but it best to do it inside.
My Bahaimain goats continue to impress me they are growing into strong stocky plants.
I have 16 peach Congo's form pepper lover and now red,yellow form wicked mike & chocolate form Nigel
So I am thinking about growing all the Congo's peppers

Hardening off the plants can be a tricky process. I always want to go too fast, but it's best to do it gradual over a long period, which is tough if you're away from them for any amount of time. I'm always so excited to get them into the ground, that I have to keep myself from going too quick.

jcw10tc · Mar 19, 2015

I hardened mine for a month last year. Taking them outside gradually and eventually up to most of the day from mid april to mid may. Still after planting out had some severe sunburn. Didn't loose any completely but on some lost the entire half of the plant getting the bulk of the suns rays. I though in your picture they looked pretty bad. Good luck with you new seeds, should still have plenty of time. I had some plants last year that were only 3 - 4" at planting that ended up being some of my biggest and best producers by year end.

Plantguy76 · Mar 19, 2015

I diffently been learning experience for me.
Now I am back & forth on what seeds to plant etc
I keep changing my mind I need to watch myself and not over do it by planting too many varieties (mom thanks I all ready have lol)
I guess I will make my mind up eventually lol

Thanks I need all the good vibes I can get been back and forth on what to plant next maybe some rest will help

Yeah, transplanting, especially, is stressful to the plants and should be undertaken in shady conditions. Some people even keep them out of direct light (sun or lamps) afterward for a day or so to let them adjust. Once they've adjusted to their new shoes, hardening off to the sun is also tricky, as Andy and Justin have already said. I have large silver maples in my yard that provide just the right amount of light filtering for the plants. I put them under the trees, then move them out into direct sun over a period of a several days.

I even had trouble one year just removing the humidity domes from flats after the seeds germinated. Taking them from 100% relative humidity to the 20%-30% RH of the dry air in my house was too much for them. All the leaves, cotys and trues, shriveled up. I saw what was happening and put the domes back on and managed to salvage most of them, but it set them back a bit. Now I'll prop up one end of the dome for few days before removing it.

Plantguy76 · Mar 21, 2015

Well I have peach Congo's popping & I got my package form junglerain picking it up tomorrow
I should get Cone9 package sometime this coming week.
I plan on doing some sowing this coming week & once I am done this week everything should be down for the year but for the flowers but that will be after danger of frost.

Trident chilli · Mar 22, 2015

Pleased you got your seeds from Grant ... I have always had a good germination rate from him and I am sure he will have thrown in a bonus or two

PaulG · Mar 22, 2015

Good luck with Jungle Rain's seeds :party:

He has awesome stuff, awright!

Plantguy76 · Mar 22, 2015

I got my order form WWW.junglerain. com.au
I plan to plant the seeds along with others this week

Plantguy76 · Mar 22, 2015

Well did some transplanting & culling no more aji Amarillo ;aji cito or dulce Sol have one good cherio roxa left and two pineapple rocotos I think.
I think two aji melocoton and the aji Brazilian Starfish are coming back fine all and all could of been a worse blunder.
As it is I am sowing more seed tomorrow so need the room anyway lol
Oh sowed the 3 red moa seeds form wicked mike and lost one peach Congo to helmet head
I think I am going to sow more starfish cause I have a feeling that I really going to like them

PaulG · Mar 23, 2015

Those varieties from Grant are wicked. Way to go!

Sorry you lost your Aji Amarillos; they are just the
most awesome plants, in appearance as well as
wonderful, flavorful pods.

Would you like some more seeds for those? Our
peruvian friend just brought back some seeds
from Peru.

Thank you for the offer but I have more seed of them.
I am not going to plant anymore of them till next year.
The seed stock I have is form Jim Duffy & Judy so I am good to go
I will probably sow more aji melocoton & aji brazilian starfish along with aji white fantasy
Thanks again for offering

PaulG · Mar 23, 2015

Roger that, buddy.

Plantguy76 · Mar 23, 2015

Well I got most of my tomatoes sowed I forgot golden San marzano but got my tomatillos sowed
I still need to sow the giant red mustard as well.
So I need to be selective when I plant more peppers I am running out of room
I am going to wait to sow more peppers till I get the cream fatalii seeds form cone9 that should be this week I figure tomorrow or wednesday

Plantguy76 · Mar 24, 2015

Well just check my trays & humidity domes I think I have enough to do what I want to do.
If I used the big pots as a table I should be fine.
I will wait to sow as I said before on the cream fatalii seeds form cone9
I hope that the red mustard and the golden marzano hybrid grow well my thinking is they will make a nice sauce or salsa .
The pineapple tomatillo/husk tomato and purple tomatillos should be useful as well.
After this round 3 of sowing all will be left is transplanting and round 4 flower seed sowing when there is no danger of frost anymore
