Justaguy's 2013 Garden Season

Coming from 2012
http://thehotpepper.com/topic/27752-justaguys-2012-garden-season/page__st__300

Ok life has stabilized and I am finally getting this going.

Back on January 23rd I cleared the back 200

Then checked on the germ tray I had set up.

2 days ago I was going to drop seed in soil, but noticed a fuzzy mold on the soil. It was left over soil from last year. Never used but in it's bag apparently whatever started growing. I deftly removed 3 inches from the bag before getting the tray ready, however that didn't do the trick. I dumped it all and reloaded then let it get back up to temp.


Today I finally dropped seed and it felt so good.

And instead of typing up a list I decided to go the easy route.

Now the fun begins. I will be putting 95 in ground this year and around 30 in containers of some sort or size. I will have sprouts that will not get one of the available 216 cells that will need a home. I may be mailing some sprouts in tubes straight from the germination tray again this year.

Thanks for stopping by.

She will be a great producer.

A little late, but here are some updated pictures.

Here are some last minute seeds needed/wanted. The success of them cements the fact that I way overwatered my germ bed. Lesson learned.

New homes.

Back to the bigger ones

It's never too late for updates or more seedlings.

The "Nardo's" will catch up to the others quickly. I just planted some Tobasco and Cherry's for a favor to someone. The weathers typical here...40's,50,s then 60's by the end of the month. Then in May the 80's, we seem to miss the 70's here.......lol
Keep pouing the light on your plants til you can get them outdoors.

Busy busy busy.
Quick stop to update.
This coming week/weekend I will be planting out if the predicted rains don't mud puddle the gardens. Everyone is out of the carport and in the sun. They love it.

They are ready to have nights.

Sitting here for a day of breezes and hardening. 2 weeks ago they got 3 days in the carport followed by 1 in the sun, which showed me they were hardened. 1 day here seems to have brought them back to speed.

3 Indonesian Chiles flowered in the box and here is the first pod of the year.

Looking sweet Brian! Those are getting huge! Amazing growth!
You have a small arsenal going there.
Awesome news on the first pod! I've gotten my 1st recently from some thais. Always a good thing to see this early!
Hope your weather holds up for planting. I got rained out this weekend, so hoping for next weekend myself.
Nice update! Take care!

Nice Brian! Hope all is well out east. This has been some of the nicest weather I have ever seen.

 

[MGOLD86]

Looking good man. It sucks about the crappy start, but I am sure that things will turn out great for you. Looks like those babies are ready to be put in the ground and explode!

 

[Darthpepper]

Looks great Brian. You'll be up to your ears in no time.

 

[romy6]

Well my friend it's about time you graced us with an update. Looking good!

 

[koskorgul]

Looking good Brian. Wish mine were looking like that.

I hear ya on the rain, I was looking to plant out this coming weekend also but they are calling for 40% chance of rain. Fun fun

Pretty much everything I have planted this year came from pods I got from you last year.

Nice! Is it a Lombok?

Nice update! Take care!

I am hoping the rain is clear by the weekend. Moving the 5 gallon buckets into the carport tomorrow so I can plant them while raining.

Nice Brian! Hope all is well out east. This has been some of the nicest weather I have ever seen.

You always get me when you say out east. It is great weather.

Will be great. I hope you are able to get a year going when you get back.
Thanks for your service.

Looks great Brian. You'll be up to your ears in no time.

You will have to make a pilgrimage this summer.

Had to get a few pages on here or I think it would be disqualified as a Glog.

Best of luck with them all.

Nice! Is it a Lombok?

Nope. It is an Indonesian Chile. Seed was given to me by an Indonesian lady that said they grew them back home. That is why I call it what I do. Honestly it may be a Lombok, but I don't know and have never had one to compare it to.

I love finding peppers like this. One of the bhuts I'm growing came from someone bringing seed back from a pepper picked in India...

 

[Darthpepper]

You will have to make a pilgrimage this summer.

Absolutely will do! Can't wait to see the tunnels of love in person.

 

[DocNrock]

Looks like things are up and coming. Best wishes for a prosperous season. Love the Indonesian!

 

[koskorgul]

Hey Brian, not sure if you seen the updated forecast for this weekend but they are saying 60% chance of rain on saturday and then lows of 40 and 41 for Sunday and Monday. Wanted to give you a heads up just in case you still wanted to plant out this weekend. I think I will be waiting till the following weekend

 

[Justaguy]

Just got the last 11 plants in yesterday. Pictures will be coming at some point.

 

[Justaguy]

Let's get this party started and enjoy some problem solving

Here is the back 2002 all planted and ready.

And of course the wood pile and fire pit, because....hey why not

Then I have the 3 hanging baskets. Experiments are fun. Each has a Caribbean Red Habanero up top and an Indonesian Chile on the bottom.

Then there is the back 3002 all ready

And the front Double ring....which is all Red Savina/Fatalii crosses this year like 2 years ago

Back to those baskets. Only one had that big pepper. The others just set what they have.

 

[Darthpepper]

nice! Hope you have a decent wheelbarrow come harvest time. I've thought about the same thing with the hanging baskets. Did you just cut an X in the center of the coco and treat it like a topsy turvey?
