Nice to see the gals sunning themselves ;)  They look great, and happy! I hope the sunshine hangs with you for a while.

On another note, your lawn looks great. I only try to keep the front yard lush. I just want everything else green. What it's green with, I don't care.

In the Winter and Spring, we don't have to try to make
the lawns look lush.  The maritime climate does that!  
Summer is another story.  Water or the lawn turns brown.

Nah.  This time of year, it's one day of sun, three or
four of cloudy and showery.  We might get a couple
of nice days in a row (meaning partly cloudy)  starting
over the weekend   :woohoo:

Paul great to see them all outside loving that sun on the decking ... I hope the sun continues to shine on those bonnets as they have grown well for you

They will slow down a bit now that they are outside,
but I think the fresh air and natural light will do them
some good.  With our on-again-off-again sun, they
should be able to harden off in place.  Nights should
be above low 40's˚F from here on in.  Will try to get
some pics of them in their new places when we get
some sun breaks.
 
Heeled in the chinense and baccatuum plants.  Thought I'd let them sit
for a couple of days to see how they like the place they are in.  I've mixed
up some compost/worm castings, peat moss, zoo doo, and recycled potting
soil for topping off the big containers.  I'll mix in a little manure of some kind
when I plant them into the container soil, and that will do it for Nitrogen
fertilizer for the season.  Will also water in with B-1, and then Kelp foliar
and Mor-Bloom or Espoma Organic Grow along with some Cal-Mag
during the summer.

Everything looking tip top Paul , especially loving them moa,s stunning looking plants. You got it all covered buddy , keep up your good work.

Thanks, Sim!  89˚F here today!  Feast or famine
as far as the sun goes around here!  Just trying
to get everything planted out so I can just get
into a watering and fertilizing routine without
having to juggle plants and space...
 
:cheers:  Cheers, fellas!  I think we are starting to turn
the corner into spring here, even with the wildly variable
weather causing schizophrenia in the chili plants.

Your plants look great Paul! I can wait to see the monsters that grow out of those 15 gal nursery pots you scored :)

Thanks , Peter.  Hope your season is going well.
 
Those 15's will be home for my four Red Habs
and two of the MoA Bonnets.

Makes me glad that I'm not the only one with starts this late in the season. Looking good.  Thanks, Carl!

:rofl:  You could have gone all day without saying that, my friend!
 
I always start my annuums too early, so I waited until April 1 to sow
the seed this season.   Now I'm hoping it wasn't too late   ;)   Same
with my tomatoes.  They are growing great, so I hope I got them off
in time.  
 
This is only my sixth season growing chili peppers, so maybe I'll
figure it out soon enough    :crazy:

Thanks for the vote of confidence. The
Lemon Drops and a Scorpion or two
suffered badly in the crazy weather swings ,
unfortunately.

Some pics of the plant-outs.  Hoping the weather
becomes a little more consistent.
