Maybe this will keep him from climbing on everything else?

Most of the peppers at my backyard garden are very happy. Lost two varieties to being too wet. They both had the same water vessel in the dirt which I think was too tall for the 5 gallon bucket. However, things are looking good for the rest so far

Nice! Do you save the greens for chives?

Potatoes are nearly done, some starting to yellow. Will let them stay a week or two in ground after dying off before pulling them. Not quite sure what im going to put in their place. Thinned out more radished, pulled some spinach and checked carrots which arent quite ready yet. Beans and peas looking great, have a couple of squash already and cucumbers are going to take off soon.

How long are you here?

Thinned out radishes Sunday, started a ferment for relish with carrot, garlic, and onion. Hilled up potatoes this morning, as well as getting some bricks set out for the wagon wheel herb planter. Going to plant some more this evening when it's cooler. It has been crazy hot the last few days!

Potatoes are about knee high, beans looking good. Root veggies are starting to take off as well. Need to hill up the potatoes soon, as they are starting to flower.

Good so far, weathered the storms over the last few days pretty well. Cayenne already producing, should probably have cut them off to focus on growth but I am excited to get some peppers early so I left it alone.

I have a gen4 g19 with a trijicon rmr. You'll like shooting that thing for sure

Mike, we had a bit of snow before we spread the compost, but haven't had any for a few months. Rich, cardboard as a weed blocker that will break down over time and let the garden roots through. This may give you a rough idea.

Potatoes and onions coming in nicely. Have onion sets as well as seeds going. Spinach, lettuce, carrots, radish, beets, beans, and peas all sprouting. Our last frost date is typically 4/15, nights getting warmer and into the 50s, so I expect things to start growing faster very soon!

Progressive exposure to sun since they have been under grow lights. Decreases chance of sunburn for them

Potted up and hardened off!

Received today!

Wapsi Perfect Popper bodies in a few different flavors using puffy paint

Got some of the smaller double barrel popper bodies in a swap here. Added a streamer hook, Marabou tail, black rubber legs, and a hackle, colored the body with sharpie and super glued the eyes.

Red wine with a little dish soap as a gnat trap.

Potted up and condensed the peppers today. Using bulk compost, pest moss, and perlite.

My in laws have a corral but no horses, and are letting my wife and I take it over. It usually grows over with weeds and had old lumber in it making it impossible to mow. I've been learning about no-dig gardening and ee decided to give it a shot. I've been saving cardboard from work shipments, and had 8 tons of compost delivered Saturday. We laid half of that yesterday manually because the CAT hydraulics were not working.

My photo sucks and chugbug rules lol

Experimenting with flavors and preservation methods. Last year I mostly did hot peppers and made fermented hot sauces, along either drying for flakes and powder. Made habanero salt. This year I have more sweet and roasting type peppers. My wife and I picked some of the varieties because they looked cool from an ornamental standpoint, whether growing or ripened and on a plate. We have some form of pepper with nearly every meal. Some of this year's varieties: 3 varieties of jalapeños for yellow and orange rather than just red when ripened. (Smoke these for chipotle) A heatless habanero since I love the flavor but not everyone can handle that heat level. Some hatch chiles given to me by a patient, will harvest green or red for powder to make sauce(stuffed sopaipillas!) Cayenne for powder or flakes Tobago for jerk seasoning A couple of albino or cream colored peppers for white chili(father in law has a meat allergy from tick bite)

I'm turning 40 this year. I guess I'm finally getting to the age where looking younger than I am is a good thing! Now if I could just "feel" younger!

35 varieties of peppers this year, not counting the ones overwintered. Will be growing in 5 gallon buckets here at the house, and the rest of our vegetables are being planted at my in-laws property 1/4 mile away.
