Time for veggies, Spiderfarmer SE5000, in an SF⛺️

Hot peppers coming on. Salsa 2022 will be spicy.

Never grown hatch chilies. This years peppers were variety cayenne so not super hot, typically I’ve grown jalapeños, and cayenne.

Cayenne you say, I was given 2 small pepper plants that were supposed to be jalapeno but they're just like what you have there. yellow mild hot and not green jalapenos. I also have a few ghost peppers all have a ton of bud lets? flowers but they don't want to go to fruit...one plant is almost 4ft tall. still no peppers. First years for me with peppers but my Green/yellow & red are doing fine. I'm not sure if that's the peppers or environment 2 are outdoors the 1 4fter is in side

i've had pepper plants do that too. What I learned is if they're in high N soil (as the ones were when they did it to me) they won't set flowers. Peppers like lower N and higher PK with a lot of calcium. Otherwise they suffer from either not setting flowers or botrytis.

Cayenne peppers for me, usually progress from green to yellow to red. You can pick them green, but the heat picks up as the turn red. I dunno much about peppers, but as my taste buds are aging like the hot stuff more and more.

Gotta get into the garden and do some trimming, garden pruning and upkeep getting away from me somewhat.

time to ripen! Majority of mine are also green, just a couple here and there turning red

Removing the leaves around the tomatoes will speed up the process for sure.
I’ve got cucumbers for days.

 

[PK1]

nice, make some yogurt mixed with shredded cucumber and salt for taste
Have it with shots or while eating.

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

That’s basically tzatziki, little feta.

slight different. Tzatziki is chopped but this is shredded. also, the yogurt matters. I use plain superstore yogurt lol !

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

Different strokes I guess, we shred cucumber for tzatziki. Greek yogurt. Mmm

 

[PK1]

how many times did you top the tomatos?

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

Cleaned up the tomato plants. Happy enough, but garden neglect takes its toll.

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

A cold beer, Friday eve in the garden. Smoky skies️ Suits the mood.

 

[PK1]

looks peacefull!! those raseberries should be perfect for some home made jam

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

More than enough raspberries. Way to many actually, we make jam, freeze lots for baking or whatever, and give the rest away Picking a month later than usual but the fruit quality is great.

any farm recommendation for grabbing fruits. Thinking of coming there for the longweeknd. camp somewhere by the lake

Follow your nose, fruits east to find, except peaches, they didn’t like the cold spring.

I Know vegetable plants don’t have the same level of interest at the farm, and that’s ok, but I wanted to start a chat about vegetable gardening in 2022.
what are you planting this season?

thankful for the continued support of @SpiderFarmerLED, received a 4x4 tent, and SE5000 to light it up.
really quality gear, and like the the patch kit included for the tent, nice touch.

set the tent up on the weekend, and started up a few trays of plants including tomatoes, peppers, cukes, melons, and zucchini.
I find so much joy and satisfaction in starting seeds of any kind.

Like hell they don’t haha, I have a huge veggie garden, and now that I have spare lights we plan to start a veggie tent, been talking about it for months, it’ll be our winter garden
