We're in the same boat with constant threats of nasty weather. We had two hail warnings this week, never even saw rain. I'll take it, that bad weather can go somewhere else!

Added one more bed for extras.I did not have the heart to pitch them.

Very nice Randy!
 
I see a jungle in the making for sure!
 
And I'm glad no F4's have hit near me! Although and F1 did some real damage in town a few years back. Way too close for comfort!

The base dirt this year Scott is rabbit compost, top soil, and amendments.Also, I am year 4 of raking in the wood chip mulch.Biggest move I made starting last year is waiting till June to mulch to take advantage of May sunshine.

     I think you'll like 'em Randy... just be aware that their heat is sneaky and can take a while to build.

nice, I liked Omahas Mancuso theater. Seen manson there, best concert of my life. And it wasn't just the acid i'm sure. Love the fact there was no seats it was all open floor. Of course it's not the largest venue.

Acid makes all concerts better, try the band "Eoto" if they are ever near you
 
What or whose version of the Chocolate Bhutlah are you growing Randy ? Nice to see yours loading up.
As others have commented your going to have a jungle real soon.
Nice work buddy.

I think I got a pod from Jamie or it was from a seed seller.With my dog rearranging my tags I won't know for sure where they are until they form.

Here you go Randy 32 pints of Cranberry cider coming to the end of fermentation, going to give it a few more days before I bottle it up. Had 5 cartons of fresh cranberry to give it a real fruity flavour.
I,ll a few teaspoons of sugar to prime as I like a fizzy cider..
Will be put away and allowed to mature until summer 2018.

Jerk chicken ice cold cider after a day picking peppers sounds good to me.

Plants are looking good Randy! You do have the perfect climate for the pubes ;)
 
And who says an old dog can't learn new tricks. I've never heard of applying the nutes via a foliar application to the underside of the leaves.Thanks for the info!
 
Couple random pictures and I stopped by a buddys garden and let him no he just killed his good bugs.He told me it keeps rabbits away.I asked him where on the back of the 7dust bottle does it say "repels rabbits"lol

Plants look amazing. Congrats on the pods!

7dust works good, to good.

It doesn't kill grasshoppers. I've read that in a book. LOL!

Works to Good is correct Chuck.Some of these guys wonder why the hell all their Toms died before September.I tell them to stop taking full control of the survival.
