Really good sweet pepper...

Clicky

Excellent. Keep rotatin' them crops, dude.

It's good for salads and for Yankees... 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...

LoneStarSon. What do you do with everything these plants produce?

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...

I'm surprised you dont have a giant rainwater collection unit.

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...

how low shall i cut them?
