Nice to hear your plants are recovering... Was interested in the charapita plant. Googling "charapita" in Images, yielded some unexpected results...

hahah what results did you get. Google charapita pepper next time

they are small little balls of fire. good flavor and heat doesn't last too long but hits hard up front.

Thanks, Here are some updated shots!!. Thanks for the link. I got a bubbler and my first tea should be done today.

Here in chicagoland its been raining like crazy for like 2 days and everything is soaked. The weird thing is my plants seem to have loved it. I still only have one plant that shows signs of cal/mag deficiency and I ordered some more cal-mag to hopefully boost it up. Tomatoes and annuums are taking off like fire, chinese are still slow to grow and bud,

Two reapers ^^ Starting to look better, they started really small and are now taking off, the right one squirrels keep digging into.. little bastards!!! :rofl:

BBgum7 starting to grow.

super bushy romas, Ran out of cages so they just free ballin for now, will support with steaks soon.

another roma shot.

Little shot of the extras i had with some spare fabric. Prolly 1Q-1 gallon in size. Have a bbgum7, prik yee, japones, and forgot what else ><

I wanna say this is a peach ghost, but i forgot to label. Its ok I like suprises

MOA

Red teardrop hab really bushing out

Beefmaster really shooting out of that bucket. crazy growth on this one

sweet 100 cherry tomato. great plants, but they get super bushy for me so i will have to steak and tie them up or they will shade my smaller pepper plants in back
Bump for bed pics!

Runescape · Jun 11, 2014

Bump, awesome lookin tomatoes and pepeprs, dude...

OCD Chilehead · Jun 11, 2014

Plants are looking good. Tomatoes look like there growing. I wish my peppers grew as fast as my tomatoes. I'm in the hurry up and wait stage. I almost bought some sweet 100. That is a great idea on using tomatoes to shade peppers. That gives me an idea for next year. Thanks for the update.

Thanks, Looking much better now. Terrible starting pots really killed like 3 weeks of growing time

Always a learning process !!!!

Also made some Compost tea couple days ago that went on the plants! hope they like it.

Had a nice foam to it, forgot to take pictures but it was
2 cups compost from scraps, worm poop etc.
grass clippings
fish liquid
rain water.

Your peppers are really starting to take off, you'll have a hedge with all those topped bushes soon.

Sweet 100 was the tomato name that I couldn't remember. I grabbed a 4-pack of another type in it that only had three and they said I could pop a fourth in, I grabbed a sweet 100 but no label. How'd you like them last season?

kgetpeppers · Jun 12, 2014

They were mass producers, I had small cherry sized fruit on one plant that were very delicious right off the plant. Another plant produced larger fruits but still were great and sweet.
The smaller fruit producing plant produced easily over 1k cherry tomatoes. Was harvesting well into october and was giving them away by the pints. Had one grow about 8 feet tall.
Yes I topped about 25% of my plants in experimentation on poddage and buds. Guess we will find out.
Thanks for the bump.

BBG7

Choc fatali.

THanks for looking

OCD Chilehead · Jun 12, 2014

Looks good. Plants have nice color to them. Looks like they are about to start growing like crazy. Thanks for sharing.

Yes they have doubled in size within the week and a half I would say. Hopefully double again and start spitting out buds so i can get some pods in august .

Dhfreak82 · Jun 18, 2014

I cant wait to see your bhutla produce pods. Awsome start to the season

kgetpeppers · Jun 18, 2014

Update,

All plants are doing well despite the rain. Most of the chinese have grown 4 more inches or so and even had one putting out some buds!!! Annums are budding well and should have some jalepeno pods by week or two forming.

My biggest tomato plant grew so fast the five gallon bucket with promix ran out of nutes so it was looking scary, fresh dose of nutes and some cal mag and it looks all better ...phewwww..

Pruned a few of the pepper plants giant shade leafs off as some were damaged from initial transplant and sunburn so why waste the energy....

Another thing I see is that MOA leaves are freaking huge.!!

Still waiting on my white fatali to make a turn around. Idk its looked cal or mag deficient from a small plant but no sign of disease and still is growing.. only plant showing any sign. Ferts and cal mag once a week on that one and nothing, well see what happens..

6-22-14,

Well, here in chicagoland it has rained for the last 4 days in a row with some heavy rainage. Yesterday in my town we had a storm move in and it rained 3 inches in 30 minutes. Tons of flooded roads and really is testing my drainage haha

. Looking good so far in the beds.

I think tonight I might dose some foliar epsom salt to green em up a little.

Tomatoes! --Tomatoes are all looking pretty good, the nutrient deficient plant is coming back and still putting out flowers and forming tomatoes like crazy
ROMA- I had to cage some of the roma which was tough as they are already pretty huge and bushy. You will see in upcoming pictures. The tomatoes in the back of my pepper beds I think will have to be trimmed and I only have a few cages left so im going to put them on the romas and the beefmaster most likely. The cherry tomato plants just always get super freakin bushy so fast and put out hundreds of flowers so that will be fun later this season. Will have to do some wooden stakes to kinda keep them in one direction so my peppers get sun

Peppers- Well, all the rain some of the plants enjoyed, mostly the annums, the chinese are still slow but now starting to put out some buds on some of them which is nice

.

Overall things look pretty good, I will dose some epsom tonight as they usually love that and enjoy not having to water for the next week because more storms likely here!

Enjoy

Small prik yee plant putting out some buds in a small smart pot.!

group shot of the "leftovers" hell they might put out a pod or two and ill be happy

Reaper!

REAPER-Ochocinco branching off
