I just started reading this forum last fall after a some what lackluster pepper season and got really motivated by all the info and grow logs. I started off by over wintering a few pepper plants thanks to Pepper-Guru and his guide. Anyways here is what i've managed to accomplish so far this year.
I started off by using the raised beds and the square foot gardening method, soil mix is 1/3 peat, 1/3 vermiculite, 1/3 food waste compost.
lots of companion planting, mainly nightshade family, I have like 6 different types of basils growing along with 14 varities of heirloom tomatos, 45 plants in all, over 100 pepper plants.
Biker Billys are freaking insane, never grown a better plant
Scorpions and ghost peppers
Some of these biker billys are over 5 inch so far.
overwintered Habanero using Pepper Guru's method, now I just replanted this from a 10 gallon smart pot, so its a tad stressed.
My first Ghost peppers!
8 foot early girl chillin with a ghost and biker billys.
I used river cane for all the trellis i've built and the boxes are made from cedar wood I reclaimed from the local casino, The only thing a paid for is the cedar wood for the planters and the arbor,
is this a scorpion? I labeled it as a ghost, but yeah its ready and im very scared!
Thanks for having such a great forum with tons of info and thanks for all the contributers!
