mmcdermott1 Grow List Log 2011

Well here is my grow list and status. I had a smaller home built greenhouse but I am quickly running out of room so I built a 8' long x 2' deep x 4' high one last night. Used reflective 4x8 sheet in back and bottom/sides/top are some r13 insulation that is suppose to have 98% reflectivity. We shall see. As of now, I have 445 seeds planted and/or purchased and 147 germinated seeds. Other than the 2010 Jalapeno, all seeds with a "0" germination have not been planted yet and/or were just planted in the past few day. My favorite new supplier is Trade Winds Fruit. Their seeds are germinating at an unbelievable rate. My current list is....

Okay, I am a bit confused. You have so many beautiful healthy peppers and tomatoes that you have been growing for weeks, and a greenhouse that's overflowing, sooooo what's up with the ordering of plants? ... and what is CCN?

Well today the wife and I went to the local nursery, first day open. This nursery is HUGE and is the only in the area really. This nursery is a family owned (Amish) business and man do they sell the plants and flowers. Anyway, last year I had talked to the guy about selling bhuts. He had never even heard of. As most nurseries, he sells a variety of peppers but none of the super hot types. Well to my amazement I walk by the peppers and what do I see...a big section of Bhut Jolokia! :)
I started talking to him about my plants and showed him a few pics from my..handy dandy Iphone (you thought I was gonna say notebook didnt ya!). Well, starting next year, I have my seed collection high enough now that I was going to start selling seed. As of now, I more or less have my first customer and a BULK customer. He said to get in touch with him after harvest! Woo hoo!!

Nice job! Heck, the tire on that SUV ought to be worth at least $40 dollars alone.... :cool:

By the way, I am impressed. When faced with overwhelming pepper and tomato numbers threatening to overrun the last outpost before plant out, MMC and McHottie took the offensive and bought even more. My kind of people!

It's known as pepperphrenia, instead of hearing vioces your head is full of pods floating around like a song stuck in your brain.

Damn nice score on the pots too, knowing you you'll probably need a lot more before you guys are done
 
Was able to take a pic of some ladybugs in the hoop house yesterday. The top one is a normal ladybug, the bottom one is the steroid kind we grow. :lol:
