Finally starting to GROW!

13 years ago

wow, this spring has been tough on my vegetable garden! I think it's rained all but 4 days so far in June and the nights have been far too cold for tomatoes and peppers. It finally got really warm here for a few days so we've had a couple nights with temps in the 60s and my plants are LOVING it! It's finally looking like things will grow! :p

I didn't anticipate the bad spring weather and planted my seeds too early, so I had small peppers growing before the plants even went into the garden. The plants haven't grown much but the peppers have and it looks silly -- but I'm hoping to be picking Hungarian Wax before mid-July! :) I'm finally noticing tomatoes forming on a few plants too.... Gold Nugget is always first, and now I see some on Sun Gold, Sophie's Choice, and Black Cherry. At this rate I think my tomatoes will be later than usual and I hate having the wait because I LOVE fresh garden tomatoes!!! :)

On the bright side, my herbs love the weather we've had. Now if I just had fresh tomatoes and peppers and cukes to go with them! lol!

I am growing the following:
NuMex twilight, Hot wax, Black Cuban, Orange Tree Habanero, Peruvian white hab, chocolate hab, Bhut Jolokia, Cumari, Cheiro recife, Congo Trinidad, lemon drop, Datil, Trinidad Scorpion, 7 pot.
I got a bit of a late start and hoping I will be able to get some pods before winter. If not I will overwinter indoors and try again next year.

Good list! Lots of the same. I got Carolina Reaper, Trinidad Scorpion, Bhut Jolokia, White Bhut Jolokia, CAP 691, Chocolate Hab, Red Hab, Red & Orange Tree, Yellow Devil Tounge, Black Scorpion Tounge, Scotch Bonnet, Red Savina, Bradley's Bahamian, Aji Limon, Black Cuban, Kung Pao, Takanotsume, Sapporro, Hungarian Wax, JalapeÃÂ±o, Thai mini, F1 Red Missle, few sweets and couple possible crosss. This is my 4th year( 3rd going aggressive). I'm looking to overwinter a select few this year. I have a lot of pods popping out so I should have a good year. My Scorpions are the only ones to not pod yet. I ate a white Hab earlier, yummy and ouch. First super of the year. 1 million scoville to go lol. Happy growing

great list. If I can get some pods this year I would love to trade for some reapers and maybe a white bhut. I also have a chocolate bhut but its very slow going and it may have to overwinter before I can get any ripe pods.
