randyp 2016 IOWA,,Older and (bud) Wiser grow.

  Hello my friends,I am still in the cold  and slow time of year.I have my first(3) seedlings of the year.The first plant was the "Mystery Wine".A Chis Joyner masterpiece that eluded my garden last year due to my failure to do a good job drying seeds.I got this from a pod the reigning Growdown Champ (terry) sent me.Not many changes this year,And I still need the right hip replaced,I am holding out as long as I can,(7 years till I retire)I will update what's going in the garden when I see them in a pot,I put out a list before that never rang true so we will delay my "Wish List"
   Thanks for stopping by all you old and soon to be friends.My updates will pick up when my weather does,
Good luck to all of you this year.
Randy
 
 
 
To go forward we must look back.

installed doors on the seed starting station to help control temps..(my daughters old dollhouse I made her at 5 years old)I used parts lids I got from work.One had a neat drawing from a fellow co-worker must have worked up while not working.I liked it and decided I am an art collector.

Fantastic looking garden! Your Not White Hab kinda looks like a 7 Pot Barrackpore. You do great work!

-Adam
  Thanks, Adam.I have many pods that were not isolated last year so I have no idea what is to come.All my supers were started from my seed stock and I never had any Barrackpore seeds,but I am looking forward to the final results.

Nice pics of some truly gnarly pods... good job Randy!
Got lots of knarley's heading your way Rick when they are ripe buddy.
 
In honor of all of you that watch this glog,the person who comes closest to naming the 8 pods shown here get a free box of pods when ready.I am going off my seed chart as to what was planted,not what it appears to be.lol  good luck. :onfire:  :dance:

Cheers Randy!   This pic looks like a King Naga or a cross with it... the pods on the KN have that unearthly green "glow" until they ripen. :party:
  Rick,I am lost on some of the 31 types I have.What I carefully recorded from seed cup to the beds are not ringing true in my eyes.

At first I want to say - Thank you for taking up to your small group. I am really pleassure.
 
Regarding your shading : Your plants get from you really full service that is really good And good idea with Devil Face inside your plants. It is marking for super hots varietites or for scare pets ?? :-)

Really stellar pods Randy! Now just waiting for them to color up! Will you be making any more of your signature "Twister" Sauce?
   Rick,I have my grow sheet from last season to see plant location so I can get an idea of possible accidental crosses.Until I am sure what is what they are. I will just name them all "KNARLEY" :dance: By the way,I suck at saucing.Terry and Buddy sent me some that sent me into a shell.

Randy's monsters are alive. I have a couple that are not growing true to their labels either.
Terry, you are Kindred spirit from the east.I so enjoy your visits, my friend.

Looking amazing Randy! Plants and pods look very healthy. 
Chris thank you so much.Your talent in what to do with a harvest is something I look up to.
 
Randy, just damn!
 
Those are some really hurtful looking pods! And so many!
 
So far you're killing it.
 
Heat wave? How high are the temps? I'm in week 3 of around 100, and quite tired of it :confused: Hoping this doesn't go until mid September, as it can. But after that we get 8 to 12 weeks of grow time, depending on "Mom".
I hope she likes me this fall ;)

I am embarrassed to compare my one week or two of hot air,to your blast furnace Scott.

Heh, heh don't feel alone in that, not everybody is OCD. ;) Your sauce is nothing to cringe about... I thought it was pretty darned good, and all the better since it didn't have so many layers of flavor that it obscured the chiles in it. There's times and places... know what I mean?  :)
