SKULLBIKER’S Let’s See How It Goes in 2018 GLOG

I thought that after a year off because I could barely walk(I have a new knee now that is working much better), that I would try to post another glog. Im not going super wild and Im using seeds saved or purchased from 2013 to 2015, with most of them from the older end of the range! Im going to try for 1 or 2 each on the super-hots and 2 to many on the more edible, table friendly peppers. As usual, I will go heavy on the jalapenos and cherry bombs. Anyway here is my list. (subject to change without notice)

I finally got all of the containers into the deer fence enclosure, grow area. 150 feet long and 32 feet wide, 7 feet high.
From one end.

From the other end.

Nice grow area, looks like you battle deer as I do birds.
Watering must be a PITA.

Have been battling the deer for years, watering is not bad, I use it as my thinking time.

Apparently my plants are so awsome that a Robin decided to take up residence in one of my World Record Big Jims.

I have two of these Jimmy Nardellos plants this year, next year there will be at least five!

Additional occupants now in the World Record Big Jim motel.

Partial Kratky update. A look from the outside shows the tomato plants about ready to push the roof off!

Biker Billy is loaded with red ripe pods. I used some in my salsa tonite.

Red Moruga Scorpion plant pushing out the pods.

Tomatoberry tomato plant with a massive number of tomatoes on it. Also in my salsa tonite.

Devils Brain pods are ripening now.

The plants are all of a size now where they are using a gallon or more of nutrient solution per day each.

Geez you let your omlette plant get a little over ripe lol

 

[karoo]

Really good looking plants and fruit.
 
That picture of the baby birds in the pepper plant must be a first for THP.

The next bunch of Albanian Red Hots.

7 Pot Infinity.

Palmyra Sweet Peppers.

Madbalz Brown.

Bulgarian Carrots.

The Kratky plants in the greenhouse are growing like mad even in the heat now. They have all grown about a foot and really filled out in the last 10 days. Between 90 and 100 degrees many days in the greenhouse lately.

You can go to the beginning of my glog, about post #5 was when the pepper plants went into the net pots. The tomato plants were much later.

Nice. That you're in MN is encouraging. This time of year I'm usually developing my sense of frost panic, esp. for peppers & the larger toms. You appear to have it under control.
 
Cheers!

I found a bunch of little hookers hanging out in my pepper patch this weekend!

Time for a Kratky plant update.

For comparison purposes, this pic was right after I moved the plants into the greenhouse. July 15

Pic on August 25.

I have one Cherry Bomb plant out of six with the pods pointing straight up. All were planted from saved seed and none of my previous plants had this trait.

Here are the ripe ones I pulled off of it. They are getting freeze dried and then powdered.

Update on my five plants in a 18 gal pot.

Pic when transplanted into the container on July 7.

Pics of them yesterday, August 29.
