Got some new blue tomato cages and a few bags of potting soil.

The last frost for the next 10 days is tonight. Tomorrow or the next day I'll put in tomatoes and peppers. I have 5 illustrated pages (front and back) of all the tomatoes, peppers and lettuce available at my cousin's garden store.

I hate homework.

Those heavy duty cages are nice. I've also made cages out of field fence for non-determinant varieties that seemed to allow the tomatoes more room to produce than the round ones.

I've seen square ones on line that seemed to be more roomy. I wind up overgrowing the cages and having tomato vines hitting the ground. I always need extra ladder supports by August. Not even sure what you call them, but I could use a few extra now that I have planter's walls at 2 locations.

Tomatoes grow crazy here. BLT season right around the bend.

Best luck I had was using 5' fence in a 3' diameter circle started about a foot or 18" above ground level on a couple of 8' t/posts. Produced some big ass plants. Cages usually lasted 3 or 4 years.

Got a first session from a customer who just opened a tattoo removal shop on some of my chest piece..

Also bought a 55 bel air station wagon..going for a turbo ls1 once I upgrade the rest.. The bt4 rat rod is on the back burner

Got paid for my monster jam race in Manchester nh this weekend and immediately went and picked up my motor for the 450r

Things are happening, money is disappearing and I'm fapping to so many things in my life right now

Positive vibes to all you crazy fuckers

Picked up a few things for the pepper plants this year, they were just so so last year.

In my limited experience growing red bell peppers - growing weed is easier. No idea why. I probably won't try them again. But those red, yellow, orange bells are so awesome looking and tasty. But friggin expensive.

They also got shaded by tomato plants, I think I've got the spacing down this year.
Tomatoes in one wall, peppers in the other, green onions and lettuce where it all fit with lettuce in full sun.

Just add plants and lawn furniture. Plants tomorrow, not sure about lawn furniture. Just got scorched for $1500 in property taxes today, the last day for the 2% discount. It costs me around $700 a month in taxes and insurance for 2 houses.

I told my daughter and her companion they had to start paying $350 a month earlier this year. The house is free, the taxes aren't. Sorry.
I think they're getting quite the bargain.

Nice! I like espoma products.

Red, yellow and any other color bell grows good here. Nothing much required. Peppers seem to love the soil here.

Time to chop the cheeze. It is starting to draw flies.

I've never had much luck at large peppers like bells either.
Smaller ones like Jalapenos I grow in empty water bottles filled with soil, that I can carry around the yard as the sun moves through the seasons.

2018 draft list, almost ready. Bright sunny 80° day too.

Roger A. Shrubber · May 1, 2018

holy shit, they're suggesting a hot mix for peppers, that's a lot of amendments to put in a nursery pot sized hole

Yeah, totally agree. I love peppers, but I've never had any luck growing them.

@tangerinegreen555's pepper soil amendment tips post has given me inspiration, though. Think I'll try them again.
