Veggies off to a great start, do you plant those in containers as well?

Yes, not sure which ones, yet. For sure the cucs, eggplant,
cantaloupe, zucchinni and watermelon will go into 10 or 15
gallon containers, since they are all hybridized for container
growing. Seed from Territorial Seeds in Springfield, Oregon.
The greens maybe I will sow into some 18 gallon containers
in mass plantings. The greens I’ve already started will go into
7 gallon pots. Six romains, chards, or kale fit into those pretty
well. Basil will companion plant with peppers, and tomatoes.

Both of the Variegated Jalapeño starts are
trying to be variegated. Seed from catchthebear.

Greenhouse plants are looking a little better
since the Insecticidal Soap drenching last
week. Now the plants have dead aphids all
over them!

Flowers on the Chili Costa Rica.
Seeds from The Hippy Seed Company.
Notice all the dead aphids :sick:

Aphids really got after the CCR due to the dense
foliage and flower clusters. Despite that, there
are a few groups of pods on the plant:

Aphids are so disgusting.

The dead aphids are the good ones. Those are the ones you want.

Haha, they are still ugly, Unc!
Gave the wilds a good soaking today, too.

Pepper love means never having to say you’re sorry!

Nice! I wasn't sure the variegation would show as late as it seemed to. Happy to see this.

My first try at growing any kind of variegated variety.

Maybe I'll be lucky!

Happy to see dead Aphids! Who invented them anyways? The ants?

Green house gals are looking stellar, and that variegated Jal is a keeper. Speaking of Jals, my Zapotec Jalapeno plants are not true. Sooooo....you know what I'm a sayin' here...

But, they are good! LB says they are too hot. I'm still working with her :shh:

Paul,

How are the yellow 7 pots doing for you?

Hey, Ben. Here’s a pic. A bit worse for the wear,
but coming along, should begin to flower soon:

A look at the KS Lemon Starburst:

It has had some ups and downs, but I have high
hopes for it. Plant-out is edging closer!

Plants are looking good though :mouthonfire:

My annuums are in the same boat, Scott.

I haven't even started to harden off my chinenses,
yet. I need to get in gear!
