Here's some peppers. Still ALOT on the plants

Update w/pics

Finally the Daconil is working good, and the weather here is starting to be conducive for plant growing (AKA: not pissin raining everyday). A few Roma's and early girl or early and often are out and growing larger. Wish I had that stuff (fungicide) months ago. I bought the Ortho too, already have the copper spray, so I think I'm ready for next year.

Getting cleaned up a little bit. Also getting ready for cooler weather (hopefully) and planting some more Iceberg Head lettuce.

Cucumbers and Squash (acorn and winter) are not doing well in the garden area. There is something that is attacking it. Not sure if it's a fungus or bug. Sprayed it with the fungicide but I think it was too late. Could be the gummy problem with the cucumbers.

Current Status

Well! There sure is alot of progress toward veggie land. The majority of Tomato plants are in ground and doing wonderful. ALOT of blooms. The peppers are begining to grow larger since the weather has turned warm. The Squash has 42 fruits coming out of 12 plants. We currently have 3 tomatoes on different plants. The lettuce has been here for eating ofr over a month. Cucumbers are getting ready to go in the ground and be big. Bought a HAbanero plant today - couldn't resist it anymore. It's in a 2 gallon pot and I'm not going to remove it until next year.

Photo Update

May Update - There's growth coming again.

Well due to a question about this. Here's an update.

The aerogarden tomatoes have been sent to the recycle patch. I actually took three or four tomatoes and saved/dried the seeds from them in hopes of getting more plants. The plants I took from the pods and placed into dirt did wonderful. The wife made a huge salad the other night with our lettuce and tomatoes. She loved them. So I've got about 9 seeds from the tomatoes in new pods in hope of making more plants.

Moved a huge Cayenne pepper plants outside because it was in a small container and started to act weird.

Still got a few pepper plans inside with a bunch of peppers on them. Even after going on a trip and not watering them for five days. Glad peppers don't really care for alot of water. The temp reached 85 outside and they were in a window.


This one is of the cayenne I mentioned before.

This is Beans in the close and a few tomatoes in the distance.

There are small window boxes with lettuce in the on the right.

Here's Five Pail tomatoes getting ready for a lift to the upside down area. They aren't quite large enough for placement.

March 7 Update

Been a little while - Lets just say I need to either slow down or stop planting things. Winter is just too slow at going out the door. With at least 12 inches of snow still on the ground and areas having 4 foot piles - it's going to be here for a little while longer.

Oh yeah - the plants.

Well I have tomatoes on the AG "Hydroponic" station (above) - lots of them too. They range from pencil eraser size to just emerging.

The Cucumber plants (above) are growing well - one if 24" high, the other maybe 12". Both plants have a bunch of blossoms on them too some with baby cucumbers - so cucumbers are coming.

Onion plot/seeds aren't doing that well. The "plot" is dead - I think because it was too shallow (2" deep). Another bunch are ok now - but I fear they might be dead soon too. Instead for some reason I bought 5 bags of onion sets - 4 of which I have already put under some dirt(above), and have already popped their heads up. Some even are 4 inches tall within a week. So I placed them on the porch to slow the growth down. The last 24" window box of seeds I took outside - we will see if they do OK.

Although not mentioned before, around 3 JAN my oldest son and I picked out some hyacinths and we came home planted the bag in a 10" pot of miracle grow soil. Then placed them on the porch. I've watered them once or twice. Well I brought them in 2 days ago and they are starting to pop through the dirt already - I guess they will be ready for easter. I big pot of stinky flowers for under $4. The photo above is it.

Above is a photo of the forest of plants. There are about 5 pepper plants and 5 tomato plants. ALL are 7-10" high. The pepper plants look as though they might begin to fruit. The tomato plants are the transplants from the AG. The majority have buds but nothing coming of fruits.

KiYoshi!

Your request has been put under. There is currently 4 Cherry and 2 of the best boy's planted "'specially" for you and you next older siblin'. 2 and 1 respectfully each. Once we get closer to "spring" time I will augment your request with the Cucummer and peppppper. :). Tell the ole brew master not to kill 'em.

Photo Update!

Planted 32 Sweet peppers in a group today. Need to figure out what I'm going to do with them. I want to get them strong and ready to produce once they are set out. I know I'm VERY early, but I want to make sure we have almost instant garden with fruit coming. Those 5" pots I remarked about earlier got MINT and Chives.

Weekly Update

On Feb 1st I planted 3 test onions, and one "Early Girl" tomato plant seed, then the next day took a generic 10"x10" container and planted a bunch of onion seeds.

5 FEB I planted another plot of 32 cells with onion seeds. The Early girl had already begun to sprout, but failed to shed the seed skin- must have not plated it deep enough.

6 FEB - killed the short early girl, removed two seeds from it's pelletization and planted two peat pots with Early girl seeds - this time at the proper depth.

7 FEB - Itchin to plant something else I looked into my bag of "goodies" 'er seeds, and saw the I should already have planted the Sweet pepper seeds - they state 8 weeks prior to movement outside! OMG! I quickly punched out an 8 pot group of those and placed them in the hot house. Did a little more inspection of the hot peppers and onion plot - there's some movement in there. Must be because I've kept the door to that room closed - It get's REALLY hot in there.
Now I need to figure out what I'm going to plant in a couple 5" small pots...

Pepper Plants AWAY!

Well...
Planted a 72 seed group of Mixed Hot Pepper seeds. Hopefully these things will all do good. I know it's early but I think these plants will grow slow enough to be okay. It's a salsa mixture.

Pail Tomatoes - Start to almost finish

Here's a few photos of my pail tomatoes. The start (on ground) and then in full "bush" hanging upside down.

Ready for Spring Tulips anyone?

This is a photo of last years Tulip/spring flower crop. Original from my Dad and enhanced by myself. I can't wait till they come up this year.

Morning Glorys

These are two pictures of some morning glorys I started inside and once they were around 2 inch I moved them outside. A Before and after picture.
