 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 .

Ah, completely understandable. Considering I just now have my first pods setting and probably won't see anything ripen until mid-late july, I'd happily take whatever you would want to send with a smile on my face.  :onfire:
 
  No worries I got your back .

Great looking pods Jamie! Those not yakis are awesome looking, may not be as colorful, as the real yakis but they are huge and look delicious! And that barrackpore cross looks great! I feel like we will have many seeds to trade this off season!
 
jedisushi06 said:

Devv said:

That sure is a block-head looking Brain pod.........nice coloring on the Chocolate NagaBrain's....almost has that look of...."how could you leave that candybar on the hot dashboard....melted look to it".............gooey 
 
Hot hot are the green hornets ?
 
Always a nice update here!
 
Loving that chocolate pain!
 
Ally's catching up to Tebow in size, and I'm really glad they get along. We had a beautiful young female stray pit show up here Thursday night, I called the county to come and get her Saturday. The guy said he would have no problem finding her a home, which made me feel better about calling them. We already have 3 dogs that we have to board when we travel.
 
Have a great week!
