@Beehunter- Thanks Bee-rother....sometimes I just have to be corny...it's like Tourette's Syndrome but not as funny.
@Sethsquatch- Yes, I thought about shoving them all in there like a bunch of illegal immigrants....but I went with giving them some elbow room instead. Dude....maybe he is your brother...."Think about it" (Picture the guy in the army surplus store on the movie falling down) My buddy and I are selling some of our plants and when harvest time comes around, we will be selling fresh pods and making powders as well. "WINNING" I just went ahead and planted what I got. I have so many things I am going to plant and want to grow....that I figure I mine as well just grow everything that touches my hands.....could get weird.
PS. I hope you've seen the movie Falling Down....lol
@Pulpiteer-I am hoping they love it. I am wondering how much nutrients it will actually provide?? The soil is 1000 times better than before but still 1000 times away from where it needs to be. You've got the Brady Bunch all living together as adults too huh. With 34 grand children and one guest room......Alice is going to be pissed. Keep that patience bro-it will serve you well. The cold weather will stunt them worse than being root bound. (Shhhh.....don't tell anyone...but I know from experience...lol) Good luck
Time for a little Update-ski:
Alright, so I always say "I'm going to update the glog tomorrow".....and then we do something else and I'm like "Oh, I'll wait until after this and put it in there too....I'll just do it tomorrow".....and then tomorrow becomes 10 days later....whoops. I'd like to keep up with it on a more regular basis. Instead of treating it like an illegitimate son that I neglect and tell to bring me a beer and go clean the bathroom because the toilet's backed up. Any way...
May 11, 2012 WHOOO HOOOOO! It finally happened. I stuck all of those cramped, stunted, overworked and underwatered bastards in the ground! Hell yeah and it felt oh so good. We kicked the shit out of the garden (It kicked the shit out of our backs) and we got 5 rows of beautiful little soldiers lined up and ready to rage. It went really well. Things have been working out exactly how they should with this grow...even when things don't go the way they were supposed to, 99% of the time, it worked out better than the original plan....lol. I'm stoked to have them in the ground and let mother nature take a lick at it. (for the most part...what you think that I'm just going to give her full custody.....pshh...I'm too controlling for that...hehehehe)
There is so much more for me to update, that I am going to have to do like 3 or 4 of them lol. Too many pictures to fit for sure. They will be successive of eachother though. I won't make you wait for a week.....no To Be Continued's......I fucking hate those.
Thank you all so much for taking this ride with me and hanging around to see what we have going on. It really means everything to me. I've had a hard year as I know a lot of people are and this garden has helped me get through a lot of it....and I'm going to make damn sure it gets what it needs to grow some wicked ass peppers....I want to make a killer ending to this glog for you guys..again thank you for droppin' in and keeping me company.
PS. Ted Barrus is a dumbass.
This little son of a bitch was rode hard and put away wet....so he decided to pump out a little pepper and 4 flowers right quick and he is only about 4 inches tall....lol. So funny, I think it is an Ancient Sweet. So I just stuck it in the ground and am letting it do it's thing.
These are a bunch of extra's that we have, going to try and sell a few, give a few to my family and a few I promised to other people. Which I am a complete ass because I haven't kept in contact with them and I said I would. Sorry dudes. I will try and better myself. Forgive me for my sins....oh yeah, and there's two BrainStrains in the back that wilted like nobody's business...lol. But they came back from a near death experience! ah hahahaha. I love it. It's like a freaking soap opera up in this glog.
So much more to come. Tis just the beginning...stay tuned.
Anyway, you can fit more plants without the raised rows but you will get more optimal yields with less plants. So, it's your call. Justaguy planted super tight last year and got lots of peppers but Pepp3rFreak planted less in raised rows and yielded more. Who knows.
