Not trying to die

Got them covered the best I could.

What are you looking to grow.

I’m looking for Trinidad Scorpions and Carolina Reapers.😡

skeeter22 in the house! Where you been bro? Been missing you in here. If you're serious about the TS and CR I'll check my locals and ship them to you if they have them. Shipped a number of peppers this year for the first time with great success. Your jelly is the best jelly.

I should really come in here more. I see yalls intensive management gets squash and cukes about a month faster than me. These onions were planted late last fall, I mulched with pine straw for the big chill. I put tents and heat lamps on my figs so they survived as well. Planning to add bees, hoping they will help pollinate. We are trying an heriloom sweet corn this year that is supposed to be worm resistant, we will see about that. I have about 10 pepper plants I overwintered, they always have smaller peppers. Is that normal?

That's looking great Droyhef! If you want good pollinators for cheap get some mason/solitary bee houses. My dollar general had them for like $8.00 a couple days ago. They will naturally find the houses and setup shop. They only travel around 300yrds or so. so they love to stay close to the house and pollinate. I have a couple houses and each one is probably 75% full. Excellent pollinators.

I have 2 houses and got nada in them. The batch I ordered hatched and hung around a couple of days and left the county. Don't guess they liked my pollen sources.

When did you put them up? Mine are all natural solitary bees that found mine. I have all kinds of different ones that have setup shop.

Put them up late March and actually ordered and hatched 20 larvae from Crown Bees. Put up the houses in the best place I had in the yard and they hung out for a couple of weeks. Think the birds poached them.

Oh I was thinking like you put them up last year and nothing moved in. Dude you're golden. Don't drop coin on cocoons. Just put up the houses. The natives will find it.

“I have about 10 pepper plants I overwintered, they always have smaller peppers. Is that normal?“

You fertilizing them? Get one with higher nitrogen for the foliage, once they start to bloom, back off on the nitrogen and raise the phosphorus/potassium to get the plant’s blood pumping

So I heard anyway. Also, throw a spoon of bone meal down around each one for calcium. So I heard too

^this #eggplantemoji

I do the bone meal thing already, and ive got chicken litter for nitrogen. Also half a scoop of osmocote goes into each pepper hole. The chicken litter is old and mixed with shavings.

I didnt communicate clearly earlier. I am getting honey bees. I hope they like me somewhat and my garden. We have a little of everything and I need to cut back some, especially on chickens. If I get some good daylight the next few days ff work ill get good pictures. I have a bunch of bamboo I have to cut that died in the freeze. Should be easy enough to cut and bundle it for the natives.

Did you get the root of that bamboo? All of it? That’s a devil plant if you ask me
