Pepper Garden 2012!

*Scotty J.* · 04-08-2012, 06:27 PM

Habaneros in the front, Jalapenos in the back. That's my organic farmer buddy in the 4th pic showing me how the pros do it LOL.

Looks like Meatloaf LOL. No onions, just peppers LOL.

Very nice.

*DaExplorer* · 04-09-2012, 03:58 PM

Very nice

I like the nicely placed soaker hose. I hope you did plant through that tarp into the nice soil. The Habaneros are a little to hot for my tast

.

Here is a photo of Jalapeno's still growing on one of last years plants. Here is southern California we can grow them all year. I will put in some new plants in a couple of weeks. Our soil is not as nice (too many rocks) so I have to do raised garden beds. This year more Roma Tomatos, Onions, Celantro so I can make more salsa. Of course other items also.

Post up some photos when they get larger so we can see how they did.

VERY NICE!

Here's the deal with Habs. Jalapeños, sometimes they're hot, sometimes they're not. Habs are ALWAYS hot LOL. You just have to use discretion.

Yes, we cut through the meshing to plant them. The mesh and mulch is to keep the weeds at bay.

Looks great guys!

My dad started to till our garden this year but the tiller died, guess I have to fix that now. We usually plant a few types of peppers, tomatoes, onions, zucchinis, and beans. We had carrots last year but they did poor. We may try lettuce this time. We also have peach and plum trees but the warm weather followed by all the below freezing nights killed almost any chance of them producing this year. The fig tree we have didn't bloom yet so it will be fine.

*Scotty J.* · 06-23-2012, 04:06 PM

wow, already starting to produce. I have NEVER had Habs in June, these things are producing at an insane rate. The Jalapeños haven't even started to come to size and I pull this hab off one of my plants.

*lynchy wa* · 06-23-2012, 04:56 PM

Awesome mate!!! Its still dark here this morning but I'll grab some photos of mine when the sun comes up. The super hots are almost ready to go it the ground but its middle of winter so I hope the frost doesnt get them.

Great work Scotty!

EDIT:Almost enough light

Thai chilli and jalepeno's (and yes, I need to mow the grass!)

Are you picking them green?

Aren't they better when colored orange, red, or whatnot?

Yes they are, I picked that one because my wife wanted some scale, she doesn't do the garden thing LOL. There are like 40 t0 50 peppers on those 6 plants, this one just stood out.

I grew some Thai once, very resilient pepper! I eat at a local Thai Restaurant, the lady that runs the place occasionally takes some steamed rice and curry chicken off the buffet, has her chef add some spice, then she brings it to my table LOL. Gotta love that kind of customer service!

Jealous!!!!

**Rick** · 06-24-2012, 12:07 AM

Anyone know what kind of peppers they often use in Chinese food? The little brown ones.

Probably Sichuan peppers

**Rick** · 06-24-2012, 10:36 AM

Interesting... The Sichuan or Szechuan peppers aren't actually peppers at all, but part of the citrus family.

My favorite Chinese dishes are Szechuan Chicken, and Szechuan Shrimp. I thought Szechuan was a place in China... What do I know

In any case, love the spice

What's even more fascinating, or at least to me is, they claim the Szechuan Pepper actually numbs the tongue, like a 9v battery so that you can appreciate the flavor of Capsaicin based peppers without feeling the heat. Works for me, I'll have to baseline test it I guess LOL.

*lynchy wa* · 06-25-2012, 09:33 PM

Didn't know that mate, cheer's!

*Scotty J.* · 07-03-2012, 09:06 PM

Just to give it some scale. The Habs are in the front, I have never had Hab plants that out grew my Jalapeños. By August, these guys will be producing peppers every week!! Oh, 100% certified organic. If anyone wants some peppers, just let me know. I will have more than I can can or freeze.
