Rocky's probably just trying to teach you squirrel manners.
the hell with the vitamins..there free i dont have to buy them..ure buddy rocky is getting to be a pain..some fool everytime he would go out in the yard..would give him something by hand to eat,,know he wont et out of his bowl..so now the fool puts his food in his bowl..and rocky..isnt hqppy
They contain a lot of vitamins...
mine luv the hot ones..have several bushes around the yard..i'll put them on the bush..and they go right at it
Yes, those are the purple jalapeños. The flowers are pretty. The peppas do look like little eggplants, but if you leave them on the bush long enough they turn red.
Some birds do love peppas. Even hot ones. The ones called "bird peppers".
Cool pix! The really dark-colored peppers had me fooled for a minute...the blooms look alot like the eggplant blooms, color, size and shape..
good morning all..lets have fun
im lucky on nica food..they arent really into hot..nice peppers..my parrots luv them
Mee too. 'night...
Geez, I can imagine the fumes wafting from those sauteed peppers peeling the paint off the kitchen walls. What do I know? :)
I'm going to hit the sack. Good night.
Trueheart
lol, no! They get hotter. NEVER sauté superhot peppas. The fumes will choke you. When I cook with them, I put them in after there's some liquid in the dish.
Do they get mellower if you saute them, carmelize them a bit?
Trueheart
I slice 'em up and put 'em in freezer bags. Can't use more than one at a time, or maybe three or four if I'm making a giant pot of chili.
Just cutting them up makes me cough.
I can feel the heat from those peppers just from the photo. You better have a fire extinguisher on hand. :)
Trueheart
The colors are great, but the production isn't. It's not bad, but not like a normal summer. The bhuts are MUCH smaller than they usually are. And most of the plants are smaller too. I guess they needed to conserve energy.
I like the Cantinas, though. Jalapeno heat in a large pod....
Janice, your green thumb produced a potpourri of dazzling colors. Marvelous.
Trueheart
Some garden pix..
A basket of peppas: Tazmanian, 7 Pot, Bhuts, and two Yellow Cantinas, with a lot of Samoas drying underneath. The Cantinas are pretty hot, which is unusual for biggish peppas. For some reason, the Bhuts are smaller than usual this year. I'm blaming everything on the heat.
Finally the aji is reaching a reasonable size. It took forever:
And it's finally setting little peppas. I thought it'd never happen:
Tons of jalapeños. The photo for some reason doesn't show how many there are, or how many little buds there are:
Since the tomatoes--except for the Cherokee--got burnt up, I ripped 'em out and planted the herbs that were languishing in my seed starter. There's mint in one of them, so probably it'll take off like a house afire:
The second season this year for the Tiny Samoa. Tons of peppas, more than are evident in this photo. Picked a lot after I took it, but need to pick more:
This is the radish that bolted. Amazing how big they get. Useless, but amazing:
K, I will get it together and hope it works. If so we take it public, hahaha.
lol, okay. Just remember: the seeds need to grow in some kind of soil. Not heavy soil; that's a problem for them. And they won't germinate in water alone.
I will send a photo when I have it together :)

You could just use the little pots you originally bought your seedlings in. If you didn't throw 'em away. You could also use small plastic cups, but you'd have to cut holes in the bottoms. Set everything in the tray of the chicken thingy and add an inch of water.
NO paper towels. They'll just fall apart.
Put on your thinking cap and lets create this recyled greenhouse, hahaha. perhaps paper towels that after used when we to form the pots and just add seeds or topsoil? In FL if it costs money we can't afford it :( we improvise,hahaha
Flex
lol, you can put it up on a table or shelf, out of the way. Just so it gets good light.
Yes, one of those chicken things might work. But you'll need to get the plugs to start the seeds in. Or small pots or something.
Dang thats good. I have a dog and am clumsy so that lasting beyond a season would be a miracle. Was thinking I could modify one of those pre roasetd chicken containers you get in the store? Thoughts
They work very well. I've been using mine for almost ten years.
TY as I see the necessity for the dome now :)
Flex
I have the "original BioDome":

As you see, you can get them with larger plugs, too. They'd be more suitable for tomatoes.

Ah Ha, Agreenhouse trick, That may make a difference for me. I will try a batch janice :)
I've never had any problem starting seedlings indoors, but I have one of those thingies with a plastic dome to keep things moist.
The indoor humidity change has always spelled death for indoor starters!
You might be able to start some indoors now, and plant in September...
Nice, Enjoy them janice and I will be back when the seeds are re-planted, hahaha
JT
The tomatoes are very tasty, too. I'll be having some for dinner tonight.
Pretty dry I am assuming,Those tomatoes I had were simply amazing and overabundant! Yes that Cherokee looks Big and beautiful!
Jake
If it weren't for my Cherokee, I'd have no tomatoes at all.
Finally the Cantina Yellow peppas are beginning to turn yellow. I'd been wondering if that would never happen...
Hello Janice and ALL, Still Hot as the Blazes here and nothing growing. Just wanted to say hi and ty for all the progresion photos all post here. We have some green thumbs for sure. Those Cherokees are BIG!
This is the Cherokee:
It has messy, gangly vines, but it's a good producer. As I said, it stopped setting new fruit at the height of the heat, but now it's got about 15 little tomatoes, and more are on the way.
The other two, a Beefsteak and a Brandywine, got burnt up. Next year I'll give in to the inevitable, and just get three Cherokees.
Hi, Janice. I see you don't have much room to grow your plants. What about the "reliable Cherokee?" I don't understand.
It was 106 yesterday and it's supposed to get to 108 this afternoon. I run up one heck of a water bill at times like this. Should cool to the 90's next week. Most of the landscaping on my lot is what I all natural. Only a portion is planted in exotics and natives to California, but not to my particular location. In spring the poppies in the "natural" area are gorgeous. I'll take pix then and post them.
As always, good to know there are others who love growing things.
Trueheart
That sounds like a nice climate. Except for the summer heat, perhaps. I'm near Philadelphia, and the last two summers have been just awful. I only have a terrace on the fifth floor. Some of it has full sun almost all day at the height of summer. This year, the tomatoes in that part didn't make it. I don't blame 'em. My reliable Cherokee is doing fine, though it got cranky during heat waves three and four.
Do post some pix...
Hi, Janice, what a serendipitous find here on IHub! My lot is at about 3,200 ft and we get snow 2-3 times a year, and it's hot in summer. I've planted a "forest" of some twenty Aleppo pines in the back. They are shadowed by deodoras to the north and native pines and oaks on the east flank. All are planted by me as the natural landscape here is scrub. The front yard has seven California sycamores (Platanus racemosa) that I planted twenty years ago. In the wild they're found in seasonal streams and wet lowlands so I pump a lot of water on them to support their huge leaves.
Usually I grow tomatoes, corn and cantaloupe in summer but I've been remodeling the house and didn't have time to plant this year.
I don't have pictures but will try to shoot and post them.
Trueheart
What do you grow? And do you have any photos?
Hot damn, I had no idea that this board existed. I love plants and trees. I live on the left coast, in the foothills of 7,000 ft. mountains, about 80 miles east of Los Angeles. In my opinion, proper, local-based landscaping is at the heart of good design. I don't have as many natives as I should, but the plants that are in the ground largely are adapted to the hot and arid summers we experience.
Trueheart
You can see the possibilities for a penny stock...
LOLOLOL!!! Funny how I came across that. I was DDing a stock and that was in the search results. Thought it was even funnier that it was from PR Newswire.
Maybe I need a bigger garden.
