I wish, only about 10 thus far have stakes and trying to let the rest ride it out. Last night was brutal and had a few hundred dropped blossoms from the hard rain. On the plus side no broken branches or dropped pods. It looks like we are in for more over the next few days.

I feel you on the brutal weather. Nothing but severe thunderstorms on the forecast horizon for me. Even July 4th? C'mon Mother Nature!

On a better note, your plants look killer. Better than mine for the most point all that way up north! Sniff sniff lol jk. Keep up the good work man.

Good luck Chris - hope things are safe with you and your family!

JoynersHotPeppers · Jun 29, 2013

Not too much damage from the storms just a few broken branches off a few of the larger plants.

Naga Morich is about to explode in the square foot garden.

Scotch Bonnet on the edge of going wild in square foot garden.

My turn to be jealous Chris... Great shots of the Naga and SB! Mine is only about 6"x6", but it's started kicking out a few blossoms.

JoynersHotPeppers · Jul 1, 2013

Did I mention it is and has been raining FOREVER!

Everything else seems to look OK Chris... how's the garden taking it?

So far so good but 4 to 5 more days of severe storms. Good thing I have taken years to condition the soil to drain well. I only get worried about the plants with huge leaves since they get so heavy. I do know when the sun breaks pod city will follow! Are you guys getting all the east coast moisture up there?

We are finally getting over 6 weeks of constant rain, I feel your pain. And the Naga Morich and Scotch Bonnets are looking fantastic.

Spicegeist · Jul 1, 2013

I know, we've been getting too much rain as well. Good reason to grow in containers...

We're getting plenty of moisture, but not so much wind. I think the ridge-tops in the southern Appalachians, and the Tidewater region are bearing the brunt of the extreme weather.

Spicegeist · Jul 1, 2013

I like your Douglah, different from the kind I grew last year:

Couple quick pod shots between the rain.
