Meatfreak 2015 Glog

Hi all, thanks for watching. Will be keeping a small glog this year to share progress with my friends. I've started my grow on 26th of January, everything has popped by now and true leaves are being formed. Like every year I will be growing multiple "new" Jalapeno's I've collected so far, about 21. The rest of my grow will exist mostly out of crosses I made previous season and new crosses/phenotypes from friends. Goal was to keep the amount of plants limited because I want more time on my hands for of course family and to grow other veggies to.

Been a while since I've posted something... have been really, really busy with prepping and cleaning up the garden. It still was an mess and I wanted to take care of it before the season is in full swing again.
Plants have grown a lot and by the looks of it they are even doing better then last season. Bigger and taller. Already brought 1/4 of plants to the polytunnel but then the day after night temps dropped. Luckily they survived and are still growing, although slower.
 
First a pic of my garden, this is a older one but you'll get the idea. On the left I planted all kinds of fruit like red & white currants, blueberries, red & yellow raspberries and blackberries. Still need to plant out my wild peaches trees in the empty plot.

As I got tired of removing buds, I let my leftover plants do their thing. First one to set pods is the Yellow Jalapeno.

Yesterday I re-potted my Pubescens into their final pot, 11 gallons each. Once it's to warm inside, I will put them outside.

Looking good.  A couple of my blueberry plants have berries on them already, too.  A couple other plants appear to be dying.  I guess I know which varieties to propagate now.  I have some Glass Gem corn seed, too, but don't know if I will get it planted.  I bought too many varieties last winter; I don't have room for all of them.
 
The Bhut Orange Copenhagen seeds you sent have made past dicot stage and into true leaves(they had just started to pop when I left). I moved the nursing station into the kitchen when the wife, botched the first round of sprouts when I left last trip, no she says she "paranoid".....GOOD! Pretty sure that won't happen again...fingers crossed!
 
Looks like are well into a very good start, love the blueberries.

Yeah really happy with my blueberries, gonna try and take some cuttings to get extra plants. They are really expensive and the kids love them. Still need to plant out the corn, got it in a trade from a friend. Excited to grow it :)
