 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 .

Hey Jamie, the new pup is a beaut , and it goes without saying Tebow has turned out well(read:Damn fine lookin' dogs!).
Come hell or high water, I'm getting a Green Hornet through fungus gnat hell-looked like the little guy is standing tall after the move to cup yesterday.
That Jalapeno looks like a custom job, corking and all!

DJ. Nice to see you have uprooted from the deep blue just long enough to tease us with your presence only to vanish back into the depths once again. Super amazed how you keep your traveling grow. You indeed are the toughest chili grower I know !!!! :party:

Your pepper shrubs never disappoint me Jamie!  Looking stellar down there in FL.  Tebow is a frickin beast brotha man.  Well fed ;)     That lava has huge leaves.  Reminds me of the one I have growing.   Chuncho looks absolutely promising bud!  I'm sceered now.
