Banana and sugar rush peach. I just bought them like 2 months ago. I planted come bell peppers and Dantil peppers in a shallow tray today, so I'll see if those ones start up. It's always possible I just planted too deep by accident
Planted some more peppers today, I'm not seeing any growth at all with the ones I planted earlier, so I'm not sure if I ruined them. Might gently dig some up and see if they ever even opened their seed casing
The plants were guzzling the water last year, but I'll be drilling air holes into the totes, it's possible that they were still rather moist at the bottom of the totes even though they were cracker dry at the tops
Right now the tote is more to just keep the cat from laying on and jumping on them. It was supposed to be filled with dirt, but the chickens scratched enough out over last summer that I ended up emptying one into all the others to get them back to full.
I'll make sure to not wait this year to pick. I didn't get a single tomato last year because I thought you waited for them to ripen all the way on the vine before picking. They all split down the middle 🥲
Gonna clean out the office some and try to make room for the tote to go there instead when I get off work today.
My dad got a 'gardening in the apocalypse' book woth a few things I might try this year
Mostly various hot and possibly bell peppers. Sweet peppers too, I think (they were with the hot peppers in the catalog but are supposed to be sweet, not spicy).
In a perfect world, does anyone know how many peppers I should get from each of my plants, roughly? Like is it generally 2-3? Or 10+? I'm just debating if 12(maybe more, depending on if I decide to only do 1 per spot this year or do all that look strong like I did last year) of each will be enough.
Started planting some hot peppers yesterday. Got 12 pots of Sugar Rush Peaches and 12 pots of Bannana Peppers. I only had one empty tote though, so I could only fit 24 pots in there and have to wait a bit longer while I find somewhere safe in the house to finish setting up shop so the cat can't...
Walmart has soil now. Might grab a pack today and then start planting my longer growers next week. Still have to write everything out, I just keep forgetting to when I have the time and energy
Those typically aren't things I want to grow. Probably not what a lot of you guys appreciate seeing, but it's true. I'm planting for fun first and foremost. Obviously I'd like it to work and be super. successful, but that's not my first concern. If I go with shorter days, my options shrink a lot...
