If you smoke corned beef you will never cook it any other way.Just add cracked black pepper and thats it.Never grown pubes before any advice would be welome

You pay attention to your soil and you have a shade cloth to put up over your plants, so I think you're good Randy. Just keep on like you're doing. :thumbsup:
 
 
Thanks Rick.It will be a learning experience.I have all the pubes in the west row that catches shade from fence in middle afternoon.

Sink or swim time for the plants.I pulled the shade.They are startled from transplant.But I got 1 1/2 of rain Wednesday that will kick them in gear.

I had to replace a roof 8-10 years ago from hail Chuck.I have to weigh my odds and push for sunny days.You probably get some big system rolling off the mountains that would make my storms look small.And thanks for the family vibes> ;)
 
Nice family pic Randy! And give the gal a great big ole Tejas hug for getting her pin! ;)  It really means a lot to me to see our generation's children succeed.
 
Your plants look really happy! What do you use as soil in the beds? Your plants always kick butt! :dance:
 
Keep it going!

Randy congrats to your daughter in law .... raised beds looking great. Andy - Pulpiteer used tyres as raised beds and his chillies certainly loved their new home ... yours will quickly cover the area I am sure

Thanks for the good vibes.The kids learned from a lifetime of me telling them when and where I screwed up.Avoid this or that was all they heard growing up.lol

Love the way you have done the pepper beds Randy, and you have some real nice established plants already buddy.
 
Always nice to see a lady bug or a army of them ;) great little predators, your plants will fly now there in dirt and warmer weathers coming to us all, great glog so far and hope you have good yields.
Happy growing.

Sim when I was putting on the zip ties I almost reverted to my first couple years growing where I would spray,chop and other stupid rushed things instead of waiting it out and getting a game plan that works.I was killing them with kindness.This mornings bug is a sign that pataints pays dividends

One of my work buddies came to my saw with lense cleaner and proceeded to wipe my glasses.Confused he pulled out his fancy iPod and assured me it was no lady bug.lol
 
Hey, Randy - hope you missed the T-Storm and big winds.  
I hate the wind.  I can tolerate just about any kind of weather
or atmospheric event, but wind drives me crazy!
 
You have a beautiful grow going, brother - good luck with
the Naga Morich.  Grew one my first season - way hot.
Very similar to the Bih Jolokia I grew the same season.
 
Good luck going forward into Summer.
 
Nice vid Randy, all looks great! Some serious heat there Bro! :dance:
 
Hope the storms skirt around you.
 
I see Ryley is only allowed to guard, not "help" ;)
