RocketMan 2014 - Resurrection

Wow, first growing season in the new house and I'm totally stoked for this one. Lots of prep work still to be done but there's plenty of time to get it done before plant out. So, here is a pic of where Pepper Row will be going in:

I'll be coming out about another 18 to 24 inches from the fence. The brick line will move out to the new edge and the Ivey will be kept cut back to wher it is now so the fence doesn't show through, she who must be obeyed has made it known that she doesn't want to see it

I'm still working on the list and as these will probably be in for a while I'm actually thinking about rather a short list using the peppers I use most often in sauces but can't get locally like Fataliis and planting 3 or 4 of each.

The other, non-pepper stuff will be growing in the big bed at the end of the row. We'll be putting in raised beds there but first I have to remove this bast@rd:

 Congrats on the engagement brother Bill. 
 
Stumped on the lack of germination but nothing  like a little heat and humidity to fix that   

 

[RocketMan]

Just wish these nigh and morning lows weren't quite so low but yeah.

 

[RocketMan]

Proof again that Pepper a people are the best.

Arrived today from beerbreath81. After giving me some incentive to make a mustard and then giving me some great feedback on it he sent me a Manzano, a Peach Bhut and as Aji Brazilian Pumpkin.

Thanks Bro!

 

[Devv]

Yes sir! Can't beat the people here, very generous Beerbreath!

 

[maximumcapsicum]

Congrats on the engagement!

Jal powder looks great. What you gonna use it on? Thinking about mixing it with any supers?

Score on the seedlings! THP is indeed the best. How'd he get those to ya?

 

[beerbreath81]

Glad they made it there safely. Maybe ill do a write up on shipping plants since it worked out

that sounds like a good idea.  They look like they arrived in great shape from that picture.

 

[RocketMan]

We'll, I may be having a heck if a time getting my seeds to pop but there's one thing that always works out for me.

From Left to Right that's

Jamaica Me Hot
Fire Mission
Smoked Fire Mission
Ground Zero
Fire Mission Bacon

Fire Mission Hot Sauce is the new name for Haba-Peno.

Stay spicy my friends

 

[stickman]

Good on beerbreath for fronting you some killer plants! Ya can't go wrong with that!

 

[RocketMan]

And the winner if the first one up with cotty's is

Jalapeño

 

[Devv]

Woot!
 
Do you use some type of cover to keep moisture in? I feel it helps.

 

[RocketMan]

I was inside but no not outside. Plenty of moisture in the air here in Florida for all plants and animals

 

[Pulpiteer]

I just used some of your cannon fire sauce yesterday on tacos.  That one's my favorite of all the ones you sent me, followed by flaming pumpkin, which is ridiculously hot!    Really like that Cannon Fire - well done!
And well done on getting your seeds to pop.  Luckily you are down in Florida where you pretty much grow year round, so you'll have plenty of time to get fresh pods from those!

 

[RocketMan]

Andy, that Douglah version of Flaming Pumpkin is on the extreme side. When I first tried it I honestly thought no one would like it because it has so much Douglah flavor. It bottle conditioned nicely though but kept that heat.

Time for a little update as things are beginning to look up here since moving the trays outside.

Tray 1, I need to look at my tray map and see which ones these are.

Tray 2

These are the 3 plants that beerbreath sent me along with a piece of Aloe my daughter cut from a plant at her boyfriends house.

The 2 root pouches are Strawberries and Ground Cherries I'm hoping will sprout. These pics were taken with my IPhone while letting the dogs out this morning so are a little dark. I'm planning to get some better ones when I get home from work.

I think I've figured out how I'll be able to keep up with my Glog following too. I'm trying it out and we'll see though.

Have a great day!

 

[RocketMan]

Ok, looked it up and the winner for first seed to pop in Tray 1 is.......................
 
 
Red Savina
 

 

[GA Growhead]

I wouldn't have guessed that!

 

[stc3248]

Seeds a popping! Haha...you got set back to my favorite part! I could go through germ to plant out over and over...Pod set is cool too, but then comes all that damn picking. Which is also cool the first few times, but then it turns into work! Haha...down in FL you could germ and plant year round so it is less of a setback and more of a delay. Can't wait to see pepper row in full swing!

 

[RocketMan]

Yeah, what can ya do about set backs? There irritating but once done its time to move on. I should have known to just keep using they Florida grow light. Here's a pic of Jamie taken the other evening helping me get it set up.

Naw, I think it needs to be a little more to the left...

 

[Devv]

Cool pic and glad to read you're getting pops!

 

[RocketMan]

Here are some pics you can really see what's coming up

Tray 1

Tray 2

And these are the 3 plant from bb81, they really seem to be digging the Florida sun

Right behind them are the Strawberries, back left are the Ground Cherries, thanks Andy and right to the left is some Aloe.

Have a great weekend!
