Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.
Justaguy's 2011 Garden Season
- Thread starter Justaguy
- Start date
Ok so I have 3 shelves of varying height. I originally wanted to have sets of 6 with all the same peppers, only to soon realize they weren't germinating together and not the same size. So, I needed to move between cells to get small with small and big with big. 3 words...Vinyl Venetian Blinds.
They are great for labeling. Cut angled end and a 7 inch marker will not blow out of your garden when 3-4 inches is in the ground.
Short ones in my cells but long ones will be in the gardens. Keep an eye out for people throwing away or hit up a friend with dogs and blinds over windows. They tend to go through them.
So today I take 2 of my markers and with my son as camera man will show you the easy way I move them and will be putting them in the garden with little to no root shock.
Slide in the sides down to the bottom
Squeeze slightly and lift....slightly dry is better then freshly watered due to crumbling.
And into the new cell with similar sized plants.

Great looking inventory JAG! I'm sure the warm sunny days are just around the corner.
Thats a nice list, I'm going to use your idea for transplanting that looks cheap and efficient
I like it but some here will argue that rootballs should be loosened.
Ok so 4 of the Indonesian chiles marked "Anna's" went into buckets. Each bucket got 5 or 6 holes drilled in the bottom and a layer of stone before leaf compost filled them in. They went to the city for Jon and his wife. I will get picture tomorrow when I do some little ones in buckets for my friend doing roof growing.
Hopefully tomorrow I will be planting the garden.

So the stakes all went in today and when I plant, the paths will be made by removing the stakes needed. This just gives me a blank garden basically in a weird way.
Yesterday I picked up the 6 Fatalli's a friend was starting for me put them in the circles. Today I added 6 small ones I had. All buried deep to the bottom active node. Mine are some what hard to make out. 2 he started in the middle and 4 plus my six around the big ring.
And in back by where we set up the mini fire pit I put the 3 small unidentified sprouts I got. These were seeds I thought were germinating in the paper towels before I knew what it looked like and planted. The cells were re-assigned when nothing came up. Now they came next other established plants, so they go here.

I'm glad your Bamboo is cut and doesn't contain the shoots as those pics scare the hell out of me! I have flashbacks of my last years 110ft 4ft' trench digging to hold back my neighbors onslaught of evil bamboo. Congrats on getting your Fatalii bed planted it looks great!
Lookin good! I like the Blind idea..
