 So I guess it is about damn time I started a grow log! Not a whole lot going on at the ranch  :shh:  but hopefully that will change soon. I grow peppers all year around outdoors. I live on the central east coast of Florida. It has many ups and downs but more ups  :fireball: . Bugs such as mites and aphids are always a problem for me. Over the years I am getting better at diagnosing them at a early stage . This Christmas I was lucky enough to have santa bring me an aerogarden and some how managed to make it's nesting place on my kitchen table. I know this is short lived and I will need to find a safer resting spot for it. Here is a pic of my outdoor operation. Most of these plants are between 8 months or older.

 They look very haggard at the present moment. Lack of sunlight and low humidity will do that. But come spring they better bounce back into action.  :dance:
 
 Here is my little indoor operation. It isn't much but keeps me happy and grows peppers super fast. I planted a 7 pot lava( judy) , borg9( tmudder), yaki blue( nigel via standbyandfire), true cumari ( from judy) , defcon 7 ( tmudder), choc naga x brain ( me,via winchicken, via tmudder), and parsley for the boy :)
 
 First to pop was the 7 pot lava. Few days later the defcon 7. Yaki and borg both popped with helmet heads and I managed to kill them trying to remove. I just added a few more seeds in each pouch .

After the wedding, when I can start doing pallet projects i want to do we need to build one of these for you. might be the perfect place to set my seed trays:

Also using one screw in the middle would give me a hinge and a screw in the front to hold it in place could be removable and it would fold up to store when I don't need it.

 Thanks B .Yes I think it has more pods than leaves and it can hardly hold it's branches from the weight and that is a good problem to have :)

Is that the Lava on right?  If so, how tall is it now?
 
Choo-eey! Those OW plants are loaded man... looks like you've started off the season with a bang Jamie! Things are still pretty chilly here, but warming up slowly. The best part is the 3 days of gentle rain we're getting here. I finally set my Manzanos out this morning, and my early greens are almost all up... just waiting on warmer nights to plant the rest of the peppers and eggplants. Cheers!

It's simple Jamie, we'll add a Shade Cloth canopy to it, so you'll be able to put it on the side of the house where the big boys hang out and then you explain to her how it's not another thing to clutter up the house, it's to give her back her entry way cleared of all your starts :)
 
Friends, enabling each other to get away with sheeit for generations ;) 
 
Nice pics !!!  RM has your back---it's worth a try.  Oh yea...dibbs on all 2nd pods (yea, right)....LOL.  I'm still trying to get my plants outside so feel free to keep teasing me with all the great pics brother.
 
"Jamie and the Bean Stalk"......lol
Awesome poddage happening in Florida, you do have the magical touch with keeping the garden running a complete 360,...ah, I mean a year round 365........har

I don't have any Lava's or Defcons growing, but it looks cool to see what they actually look like...killa pods.

I dig that plate of food ! I'd rifle through that corn like an old style typewriter carriage
moving back and forth...... da truth
