Lemon Spice? You mean Orange? Or did you change your mind?

I am CHOMPING at the Bit wanting to get my Seedlings Started, But its WAY to early yet. I will start the Rocotos and Sugar Rush Peach about the First week of March. This is a ROUGH time of year on me here in North Idaho, BORING! And it Drags on n on ☹

This was a Couple weeks ago, about 4-5 Ft of Snow, and we stil have the WHOLE month of February to go. March can Lay Down some pretty serious Snow as well, But you know its not gonna Stay long at that Point. Part of living in Snow Country, Gotta Suck it up Buttercup

Haskorea, that’s what you forgot [emoji16]. I’ve got seeds if you would like some. I didn’t know Idaholewis was in the house [emoji106].

I never heard of haskorea until I started seeing posts of your powder and seed showing up all over. You are the best promoter that little pepper has

 

[ShowMeDaSauce]

Yeah i meant Orange Spice.

 

[ShowMeDaSauce]

Welcome to the jungle.
 
The crew and i still got about 7 inside. 3 Aji Amarillo and some spicy bells.

 
CCN seedlings....Dont know why i even bother because mine blow them away. 2 Chilhuacle Negro, 1 Chilhuacle Rojo, 2 Aji Panca (just in case mine crossed) and a Habanada. Good thing i got that last one because all the local guys didnt get them yet.

 
CCN tomato starts were worse. Out of 6 only 2 looked nice. Luckily it was the two i most wanted and cant get locally. Vietnamese Coriander, Rosemary, 1 spicy bell above them and 2 Joes long cayenne below.

 
Poor little mutant Reapers grow soooo slow. 2 of the 3 look nice but man they grow slow.

 
6 Numex Orange Spice in front and my Aji Panca from seeds i saved. The Numex already got little "podlets" on them too.

 
2 Baker Creek seeds Death Spiral (man they grow fast), 1 Aji Oro and 1 Aji Amarillo.

 
4 CARDI Scorpions, 1 Aji Oro and 1 Aji Panca..i think

 
Bonnie's Spicy Slice jalapeno and Early Flame (both new offerings i think). I planted them a few days ago.

 
Couple extra Scorpions and a Aji Oro that might still make it for this season.

 
The last few still inside. Some Aji Amarillo and Antep Aci Dolma (Fords seeds)

 

[PaulG]

Pedal to the metal, Sauceman!
 
Great looking starts. are they outside for the
season now? How far until plant-out?

 

[ShowMeDaSauce]

I put several in pots today. I will put one more out later. Started to get a little warm after i got all the pots "dressed" with fresh compost, aged pine fines, rice hulls and Happy Frog. Rain on the way for the next few days too. Some of it heavy. 86F feels hot when most days sofar have not broke 70F so im still getting used to it. Maters are all in there spots too. Raised bed has been ready for several weeks.
 
Planted today
6 maters
Rest of the herbs except some basil.
1 Aji Amarillo
1 Spicy Bell (Antep Aci Dolma)
2 Joes Long Cayenne
2 Aji Oro...Got one more that is finally taking off under lights i need to bring up too.
1 NuMex OS...Thanks again Lewis...Mucho Nacho are no where to be found this year. Bonnie could not get the seeds.
 
Got around 40 total plus or minus including a few extras. A few are offered up locally. Got one guy who has some Genovese basil seedlings to trade. He just wanted a Orange Spice but im trying to pawn off one of the nicer extra Scorpions too
4 Aji Amarillo
3 Aji Oro but one is late.
6 Aji Panca
4 CARDI Scorpions and 2-3 extra
2 Chilhuacle Negro
1 Chilhuacle Rojo
1 Habanada
2 Joes long cayenne
6 Antep Aci Dolma (Fords)
6 NuMex Orange Spice
2 Death Spiral (Baker Creek seeds)
1 Bonnie's Spicy Slice jalapeno
1 Early Flame jalapeno
3 Brown Reaper mutants but one is too tiny.
40 planned

 

[ShowMeDaSauce]

Rain dodged us today...well sofar anyway.
 
Redneck shade cloths ENGAGED.
3 Aji Oro in their fabric pots. Man i hope i get a good yield like last year. One is still just a baby

 
4 Aji Amarillo on the steps under the burlap

 
 
Back row---1 Chilhuacle Negro, 1 NuMex Orange Spice, 1 CCN Aji Panca, 1 Chilhuacle Rojo and a Death Spiral. A few others that need more time to harden. I cant shade them easily in their final pots yet.

 

[ShowMeDaSauce]

Trading a few extras today for Genovese basil, Aton basil and Emily. Pops wanted normal basil to make pasta sauce and pesto. I planted Lime, Siam Queen and Cinnamon. I love the Siam Queen. Very strong Thai variety. I managed to off load a sweet little Scorpion, huge Aji Panca, huge Orange Spice and a Antep Aci Dolma. I gave him an Antep last year but that was the fubar which ended up being Tekne Domasi and he loved them.
 
Looks like my runt AJi Oro is gunna make it. The Oro are all loving the very cool nights even with all the rain. The others are not digging it much. They are hanging in there but slow. Rocotos just dont mind it at all. We got 1 more cold night in the forecast. Supposed to get down into the upper 30s so im gunna hold back a couple plants just to be safe.
 
My other extra late Scorpion looks so nice im gunna try an experiment. Ive got a smaller pot around 1-2gal. Im going to fill it with Just Natural brand mushroom compost. It did it one year with a habanero and it grew like mad. Im going to feed it nothing but DynaGro Foliage Pro 9-3-6 and a little more calcium using calcium acetate tablets. Ive heard so many times how you cant use just compost in pots but ive done it before with the same product. That plant cranked out pods. I just had to water it daily in the peak of the summer so it will get rain barrel water and a weaker DynaGro solution often.
 
BTW, Bulk Supplements sells calcium acetate and citrate powder. Under $25/kg. Sure beats the hell out of CalMag price wise.

[ShowMeDaSauce]

Both Chilhuacle Negro are producing now.

 
Aji Amarillo

 
One Aji Oro is just loaded with small pods considering its early still

 
Joes Long Cayenne are both loaded too.

 
Antep Aci Dolma has a bunch of pods just starting.

 
This is why i love CARDI scorpions. They grow like mad and produce soon for a super.

 
Checkout the size of my mammoth sunflowers

 
Deck crew

 
Lower patio crew

Peno and panca patch. Also had some volunteer long beans pop so i made a cheap trellis for them

 
And drum rollllllllll please............late starts..3 brown mutant Reapers (back) and 2 extra Death Spiral. I should get at least a few ripe before the season is over.

 

[ShowMeDaSauce]

Test plant. CARDI grown in nearly straight mushroom compost. Fed only Foliage Pro.....Dont tell the guy from Florida you can grow in nearly all compost.

 
Container cuke i got to water all the stinking time but its worth it. Already had a nice batch of cukes and onions. ATM its covered in pinky size cukes and a buttload of blooms.

 
My stump Genovese basil. I just harvested about 2 packed cups worth. Got a new Kitchen Aide food processor on the way. Coscto had them on sale for $70. Its $180 everywhere else.....PESTO TIME!!!!

[ahayastani]

I very much like your stump of basil

 

[Mr.joe]

The stump grow is a cool idea, constantly providing new organic matter. Just as long as the tree doesn't start trying to regrow

 

[ShowMeDaSauce]

That stump is big. Almost 3ft tall and it would take two people holding hands to go around it. There is probably 3cuft of media in that stump. Plus any leaves or whatever was composting in it naturally.

 

[PaulG]

That stump needs a big ol’ Bhut Jolokia growing in it!

Plants and garden all looking good, Fido 

 

[Siv]

Love the stump idea. I have a smaller stump out back, I'm going to see if I can do something similar!

 

[ahayastani]

Grows shrooms as well
