Basil and Sage

Mrs JC is obsessed with her dahlias. Some of them are absolutely spectacular.

[JCBBQ]

Finster I’m not very educated on dahlias. More just an appreciator, so I’m not sure what you’re asking. However if you’re inquiring about the type of dahlia pictured I can say with confidence it’s a Penhill Watermelon.

[Panhead John]

More dahlias syndrom……😗

[JCBBQ]

Oooooh!

[SammyJ]

I have been totally amiss. Not cooking as much as before, but peppers are easy to grow and harvest.


6 caribbean red habaneros.


Today's harvest.

I have thus far put up 32 1/2 pints, and the plants are still producing.

[SammyJ]

46 1/2 pint

[DavidNorcross]

Excellent!

Our little urban garden exploded w basil recently. I see a lot of pesto in the near future. 425g of just the leaves after we plucked them off the stems. Mrs JC has a green thumb.

Picked a few peppers today

Sad news today. Apparently a ninja deer made it past all my elaborate security measures and pulled one of my pineapples off its stalk. It was cut down before reaching its prime size and weight, but the necropsy revealed it was still delicious. Thankfully it is survived by several close family members who survived the wanton destruction. 😞

Bloodbath in our urban oasis!! The Praying Mantises are gobbling up the bees. Couple action shots.

[Carolyn]

I haven't seen a Mantis in years.

[DavidNorcross]

Habanero's, green peppers, chicken eggs and quail eggs.

I planted these Japanese banana palms a handful of years ago and every year wack them to 18-22 inches just before a hard frost.

Kim wanted something for the new deck so l used a shovel to separate an isolated shoot this spring.
I am so impressed with these plants. I only water them.
The electric wires in back are abt 30 feet high.
This is the first year they have grown above that height. Musa Basjoo is the technical name I believe.

Summer is definitely over here. Yesterday we closed up the pool and today I picked our last three tomatoes so all my gardening will be in my dreams until after New Years, Not my finest tomatoes but the joy of eating vine ripened tomato sandwiches for my next three lunches here at the end of October will make up for any flaws.

[SheilaAnn]

Certainly not fruits and veggies (we s*ck this year except from some rogue serranos and the orange tree that keeps on giving)

Christmas Cactus



BF spliced it off and now I have 4!

[Oak Smoke]

That’s beautiful.

[hoovarmin]

Absolutely lovely!

Last year I got a really late start on my pepper plants and the result was a low yield; I made half as much hot sauce as 2024. I was using the Jiffy pellet system but for this year I bought some trays and reusable six cell seedling pots from Bootstrap Farmer. Each try holds 12 of the six cell seedling pots. Today I planted 24 of those pots for a total of 144 seedling cells, two seeds per cell. I have one more tray but I'm waiting on some jalapeno and Serrano seeds before I plant those 72 cells.

The peppers I planted:

Shishito
Hot Long Cayenne
Aleppo
Peter
Zia Pueblo
Antep Aci Dolma
Hungarian Wax
Leutschauer Paprika
Szegedi 179 Paprika
Alma Paprika
Sugar Rush Stripey
Scotch Bonnet
Chile Petine (Chiltepin)

[DavidNorcross]

Nice. Started cabbage today. Will be another month before we start peppers here.

Johnny Booth If you go to this link it shows the raised beds I use - these beds will hold almost 150 pepper plants. The only peppers to be planted in the beds are the shishitos, jalapenos, Serranos, and Scotch bonnets since they are used in my Neches Hot Sauces. The rest will go into pots - I only planted a few of each of those.

I own the vacant lot next door - a little over 1/3 acre. It needs some remediation before I can use it for a garden.

I've gotten 2 cabbages so far from my fall planting! Made one into sauerkraut (ready in 2 weeks!). Curly Kale still looks good, pac choy went to seed and the below freezing temps burnt it badly. I put a sheet out to protect my other 4 cabbage plants and the kale from last night's low temps. Getting my seed trays ready!

I'm pretty impressed with my new seedling tray system. In the past I've used Jiffy Pellets but this year I bought a system from Bootstrap Farmer: 1020 trays and humidity domes https://www.bootstrapfarmer.com/coll...rays-and-flats

For the seedling pots I used these: https://www.bootstrapfarmer.com/coll...inserts-colors 12 of the seedling pots fit into one 1020 tray.

It usually took two weeks or longer for the seeds in the Jiffy Pellets to sprout. One week ago I planted 144 peppers and about half have sprouted already. I used Ferti-Loam seed starter soil and I'm using a Ferry-Morse heat mat to keep the seed trays warm along with some grow lights from Ferry-Morse.
