Went to the feed store this morning to pick up squirrel feed, and they also sell plants. Picked up some tomatoe's and this little thing to grow in my 5 gallon planter. It's a baby Ghost pepper plant. I asked the gut if they were legit, and he told me they the kind only a handful of people can eat.

We keep a few pineapple growing here at work. We've harvested two so far. I do some at home, but they have had worse cold weather luck. Here at work the flowerbed is next to the building so it gets some warmth from there, and it's under an overhang. Plus we cover with plastic if it's real cold.

Hot Hot Hot. Other than a few Habs for pepper spray and some Cayenne for pepper sauce, I'm not growing any real hot pepper. All the wife wants is Mammoth Jalapeno, then some bells and Mini Sweets.

It's been dry the last week or so. I turned the sprinkler on the orange trees and trays of seed for a few minutes yesterday morning as I was headed out. Then after lunch when the wife and I were looking at the blueberries, I turned it off. So. . . . . they should be nice and wet for now.

I was able to see the writing on the labels, so all good there. I put the Armenian Cucumbers in cups this morning. The other tray that is coming up good are sun flowers. I didn't cup them. Will put them right in the ground. When I decide where they are going.

I put up a half assed fence around the sprouts. Meant to get a temporary one up around the corn, but didn't get it done before lunch, and opted for a pre-work nap after I ate. Corn is 3-4 inches tall.

i didn't start anything from seed this year, first time in years, will just end up buying them from a local produce stand place i bought a few from last year that were super healthy

That pepper is hotter than $#@*&^%43 . I grew one a few years ago and still have a dozen or so dried peppers from it. Last year I grew a Carolina Reaper. I only got one pepper due to some growing mistakes but I made some sauce using that one pepper and I can't even eat it. I like hot but good grief! There's a limit. They use those to make pepper spray.

Papaver somniferum


Now I got a two' by 3 foot Tupperware container full of sprouts!

Man I tell you what, those Jiffy pucks are getting hard to find. I went to Lowes, where i usually buy them, Wal-Mart, tractor supply, and a gardening center. NOBODY carries them anymore. Everyone had the medium and large jiffy pots, but no pucks. I had to end up ordering several hundred off of Amazon. That is about the only place that has them in stock. I have bout 40 or so weed seeds I want to start next month and really need them, i'm down to my last dozen. Let me know if you have any problems finding them.

I have about half a box of them somewhere. I saw them recently, but don't remember where. Having almost no shed space sucks.

I bought some rockwool cubes off amazon in the fall. I did some tomato cuts if my memory is correct.

Here is my corn in the kiddie pool. This was 2-3 days ago.



As I get the mushroom compost out of the kiddie pools, I'm going to use a few more of them for growing. They are 3-4 years old and not much good for storage anymore.
