I always have kept track and dated anything I have planted.

It doesn't look that detailed but it is.









I have 3 6x12' beds ready for action.

Onions, potatoes, and garlic are in the ground.

My garden in Feb.

We've also started a couple of zucchini plants. Mrs Chad uses it in fried rice so that'll be nice.

I'm proud of all my kids, but my son (a very industrious 10 yr old) is planning a garden at his mom's house. This weekend we got a box of peat pots and the seeds that he didn't already have stashed back. He's going to do cayenne, sweet banana pepper, jelly bean tomato, strawberry (we'll have to buy the seedlings), and he's considering cubanelle and serrano. He's also gonna make his mom a few flower beds with Mrs Chad's flower seed stash. He's a chip off the old block for sure!

Lucky for him he got his looks from his mom! wink
I haven't been able to find the Cubanelle peppers anywhere...bang I have Cayenne, California wonder (bell pepper), Tam Jalapeno, Jalapeno, Hot Banana, Sweet Banana, and Serrano, but no Cubanelle bang


We've got cubanelle seeds. How many do ya want and I'll mail them to ya if you'll pm me an address to send to.
I appreciate the offer...My mom has a phone customer that has a feed store and they are supposed to go Wednesday to their suppliers and see if they can get me some Cubanelle and Gypsy peppers...If they can't, I'll take you up on the offer...thumb

There seems to be some fraudulent sales going on with those seeds you're looking for. I'd try and buy them from one of the established companies (I've tried to find them through Google) when they become available...Otherwise you'll end up with the habanero plants...bang

Hopefully my garden will try out enough so I can till this week. If not I will be going to Home Depot and buying a lot of soil. So I can make my own mounds and get them going.





My jalapenos and a few of the mater plants are getting huge already. The okra and bannana peppers aren't too far behind them. I need to get them in the ground soon.

If anyone is interested in square foot gardening here's a helpful site to plan your garden:

http://www.gardeners.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-Gardeners-Site/default/Page-KitchenGardenDesigner

Only downside is that it doesn't have everything I planted including different varieties of peppers but I just put in the closest thing they have and then rename it.

Ohhhh, my bad. A "sweet" ( might as well be an onion) pepper ? Thought it might be something with a few Schofields (sp?).

It's good for salads and for Yankees...grin I am currently growing the following peppers:

California Wonders (Bell Pepper) - 20 plants
Jalapenos - 8 plants
Tam Jalapenos - 16 plants
Hot Banana Peppers - 4 plants
Cayenne Peppers - 8 plants
Serrano Peppers - 2 plants
Sweet Banana Peppers - 20 plants

I should be getting either 4 or 8 plants of both Cubanelle Peppers and Gypsy Peppers this week...Yeah...I need to find some Habaneros now that I see the list on the screen...bang

I give some to family and friends, freeze some of the squash, zucchini, and peas. This year, I'll also be setting up a vegetable stand and selling some of the peppers and tomatoes to help offset the cost of the water...

You using anything to collect rainwater, LSS? While watering yesterday I started to see just how much water I will be using. A bunch is an understatement.

My potato plants are growing well; I think a "Yukon Gold" finally sprouted. Took considerably longer than the "Red Noreland" variety.

Onions are slowly starting to perk back up after that intense wind the other day. Carrots are about an inch tall as well.

Unfortunately I think my experiment with seed-starting is about over. Other Cherry Roma seeds started the same time as mine are about 10" tall now, and mine have not grown above 2.5" in several weeks. The Bell Pepper sprouts have multiple leaves, but are still tiny - maybe 1.5" tall.

Huh, same here with the potatoes. Red Norelands are going nuts but the Yukon Gold have barely come up.

My Texas sweet onion transplants look like carp. Any advice on these?

Carrots were planted about 2 weeks ago and I've yet to see any green.

However, my bunching onions sprouted up 2 days ago and are already over an inch tall.

My carrots took about 14 days to sprout. Look really close, too, because the greens on them are incredibly tiny.

What are the Texas onions doing?

Most are bent over and turning a little brown.. not the healthy green look I was hoping for.

I actually have a water system connected to my gutters for the flower beds that surround the main house...Our water bill gets out of hand for the yard, not the garden...Hopefully this year won't be as bad as the last 2...It's an acre of land and because it has a slightly sloping elevation, water retention for most of it isn't the greatest (makes for great drainage, especially in flooding weather, but not for water retention in droughts)...The garden gets by on fairly little water in comparison because of the Ashe Juniper tree droppings...They, like pine needles, help with the water retention in that area...

Cut off the tops and be certain to water during the drier times...

I'd probably cut the brown ones about an inch from the ground...Since onions are a single root vegetable, the greens aren't as important to the survival as say potatoes...The good thing is your onions will probably grow a bit larger than before because you won't be as anxious to pull them with shorter greens....

They could have browned because of the snow or because of the bountiful rain amounts y'all have had recently...If any of the onions have green stalks mixed with brown, just remove the brown ones and keep the green ones on that onion...You might also want to try a little miracle-gro or other plant food because the nutrients might have been greatly diminished because of all the rains...

Alright, who can make it to the NW side of Lake Whitney by 3:30 this afternoon to help me finish planting? I have 94 plants left to get in the ground...I'll have at least another 30 to plant by this weekend...WTH?!?!?!

Anybody got Pequin Chili's? (Tiny Peppers)

I planted one last year and these little dudes are hot and turn into a bush.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pequin_pepper

These are great for adding flavor.

Some of you may know that my 10 yr old son is starting his own garden. He's growing mainly peppers and he's going to try and sell them to make some exta $$$$. He researched on google and boy-howdy! Did he ever! He's breeding a hybrid habanero/cayenne plant. flame I'm proud of my boy! He gets the mad scientist tendencies from his paw. wink Anyway, if it works well he's gonna do all hyprids next year and sell peppers that nobody else has.
