Frost has ended this season and its time to begin preparation for 2016. I extremely excited about next season. I have learned several important lessons from this last season in particular.... and although I "knew" the lessons before I experienced the consequences.... I made the mistakes anyway.
-dont go too big---you end up spreading your resources too thin... time, water, nutrients (including soil and amendments), space (for some people), etc. This last season I had over 750 pepper plants alone. I also was trying to grow 18 hills of watermelons, 15 hills of pumpkins, 9 hills of cucumbers, 8 rows of muskmelons, a 4mound x 16mound grid of corn beans and squash, and over 100 tomatoes. I never even got around to planting the gourds, beans, or corn..... needless to say... I didn't get much of anything from any crop. I spread my resources far too thin. If I had allocated all of my energy and resources to a vastly smaller population of each crop, then I would almost certainly have yielded excellent results. Nevermind the fact that when you are dealing in these huge numbers, as they are germinating, it is a tedious, back breaking chore to keep the seedlings watered, labeled, taken from their dark, humid conditions into the light before they etiolate or dampen-off, and genrally taken care of in their delicate infancy.
-dont try to get a head start--everyone knows you need to wait till all danger of frost has passed to plant out. And everyone knows you need to harden your plants off slowly. But then that little voice creeps into your head whispering of advantages and possibilities of impressing fellow THP members with your lush, gigantic, pod-laden pepper shrubs in early June. So you say "Ill just go ahead and start hardening off during the "warm part of the day" in early April... and Ill go ahead and plant 20 days before the recommended planting time in my area... and we will roll the dice.... If I win then I will have the best garden of anyone in my part of the world and I will look like a genius, and If I lose... well lets not even consider it.
Yeah... so my plants went from looking like this April 1
To this on April 27 (by the way my recommended planting date for my area is May 12)
The plants were hit with cold rains for weeks on end.. followed by a light frost that became a heavy frost in the creek bottoms where this garden plot is. Sadly, this stunted my plants until July, when they started to rebound a little. However, by that time the next lesson started to manifest...
pro tip: -put the roots into the ground
-- duh!! Its obvious. Its soooo obvious that you might just forget to do it. Especially if you have nearly infinite mulch to play with and a million plants to get planted in a day.
Check this out...
note that the leaves arent even out on the trees... alas they are wiser than I.
What you see above are 9 windrows of mulch 90 feet in length and over a foot tall. I would have done better to plant in the ground between the rows of mulch, because the method I employed resulted in plants basically being transplanted into pure uncomposted mulch, which is bad on three fronts. #1- during the heat of the summer, mulch will never be able to hold enough moisture to sustain the plants unless you have a continuous drip... In other words, you will be forced to water every day or your plants will suffer. #2 wen mulch is decomposing it gets hot, which compounds the problem of #1. #3 that decomposition in #2 actually involves the use of the same nutrient resources your plant is competing for, so the mulch effectively steals the nutrients from your plants. This was the nail in the coffin for me. I went too big, so I didnt give each plant the real time (attention) and resources it needed to flourish. This factored into my method of planting. Because I had sooo many plants to get into the ground, I spent minimal time planting each plant.... afterall its easier to push aside some mulch with your bare hands, place your transplant into the void and be done with it than it is to grab the shovel and put your back into it 750 times...... which, of course, resulted in a poor root zone.
The combination of my plants being stressed by cold, wet weather in the spring followed by extremely hot drought conditions in the summer conjoined with the blunder of implementing a soil media with abysmal water retention resulted in a total bounty of only 20 or so pounds of peppers from 700+ plants. Although by late september all of the plants were healthy and on their way, most chinenses didnt even have time to produce one ripe pod, and most of the anuums only produced a few peppers here and there (too many of which were stolen by critters anyway...).
The plants that did produce well, and were generally healthy in spite of me and their terrible conditions had seeds collected, or were transplanted for an attempt at over-wintering.
The picture below features my over-winters, which include:
3x Aji Pineapple
3x Tajin Jalapeno
2x Ristra Cayenne
1x Mammoth Jalapeno
1x Fish Pepper
1x Carolina Reaper
1x Chocolate Bhut
1x Jays Peach Ghost Scorpion (red) from saved seed
1x Jays Peach Ghost Scorpion (true) from saved seed
1x Mustard Hab
1x 7 pot Jonah
I was actually considering growing only those over-winters next season. I was even going to give each plant its own 30 gallon worm farm (allocating vast resources to a small population
)
But then I gave in to my desire for novel genetics. So I ordered some seeds from here and there. I picked up some new genetics which i am really excited about, as well as some new stock of my all-time favorites. I also will be growing out some of the selected seed stock from the prolific plants from this past season.
This is my seedlist for the 2016 season. I will edit this section as it changes:
