how long does it take a fig tree to bear fruit? i thought it was a long time?

i planted mine about 16 years ago when i moved here. i figure it took like 5 years before the fig tree took off. its pretty massive now. i just pick without climbing a ladder..i leave the top to the birds

one of my carolina reaper plants

. and my super hot pepper garden

 

[too larry]

I planted a new pepper trench. 2 Habs{right}, 4 Hatch{middle} and 2 Mini Sweet{left}.


Also filled in the hole from the underground greenhouse and turned it into a pepper pit. The Hab's and the Hab Not's {Hatches}

 

[too larry]

I had to rob some big cages from the peppers to put on tomatoes, and I mostly killed this Cayenne in the process.. It's the first one with red peppers. I have a lot of them, so I might cull it and put a Hatch there.



Did I mention that I had planted too many Hatch seeds? This is my leftover pile. And I culled pretty hard too.

Pepper pit. 7 Mammoth Jalapeno {3 bought/4 saved seeds} 1 Joe E. Parker New Mexico Chili {tall, light green 2nd from right} One of the saved seed MP's {3rd from right} has got small, funky peppers. Not sure yet if I'm going to cull it and not.

They are from Hatch New Mexico. Although I hear the demand is so high, many are grown across the border.

I've grown the Joe E. Parker New Mexico Chili, and like it a lot. This is my first time with Hatch.

wont be short on super hots this season....

 

[dnt420]

It was told me It was habanero
Do you guys recognize the specie?

 

[Roger A. Shrubber]

no, but it sure as fuck isn't habanero.
they really look like the thai hot peppers i have growing, but bigger, may be a different strain

Not habs.... maybe cayenne or firecrackers? I don't think cayenne grows upwards though I'm not sure

Cayenne hang down.

I'm picking a few peppers off the culls I just didn't have the heart to kill. I put them in 2 and 3 gallon pots sunk flush with the ground and run a sprinkler on them {near the orange tree seedlings, so I get them both at the same time} once in a while.

Saved seed Mammoth Jalapeno. They are not quite as long as the real thing, but taste the same.

New Mexico chili in the older pepper pit.



The Habs and The Hab nots. The two Habs to the left are blooming now. The other 6 are Hatch. I need to Google and see if they turn red. Staying green so far.

I had lost control of a kiddie pool full of tomatoes, so I culled some of them and put the rest in the ground. I threw 4 Mini Sweet Peppers in their place. Late as hell, but they didn't come up the first go round, and I have so many kinds of peppers, I didn't think to replant for a while. I have 8-10 more, but these four were the cream of the crop. Will wait to cull them until I see what these do. As far as everyday pepper eating, mini sweets are my favorite. {I've been forced to eat bells in the garden this year}

Best news of all. I was able to give away yesterday's picking of pepper.
