Looing good, uh, I mean steamy.

I wonder how they score on the pepper hot scale?

Might make your seedlings make Chernobyl look cool! LOL

Great looking green house!

Bob

Now work on some tomatoes!

Thanks for the tips, Bob. The cow manure/compost I was referring to is Home Depot's Black Cow. I like that stuff and use it in flower beds too. I do rotate my tomatoes as they are serious nutrient depleters.

I used miracle Grow once and I got very lush, tall tomato plants that didn't set much fruit. Maybe I'll try it again this year.

Thanks again!

Good Move!

Now are you planting seeds or buying starts.

We transplant seedljngs in the third or fourth week of May in Wisconsin.

This year, were not transplanting the seedlings.

The 1200 mile drive beats them up and it takes a lot of space in my truck.

I'll start them once I arrive up thereand transplant them in late may and early June.

Once my peppers get used to Texas 80 degree days and I transplant them in Wisconsin's 50 degree nights, they go dormant for 30 days.

Reworking our flower gardens in Houston.

Annual mulching and chopped stone work.

We lost a lot of plants last year with URI cold storm

All of our citrus perished.

We had just gotten used to lemons and grapefruit every year All 10 gone.

I'll replant Rio Red grapefruit and Meyer Improved lemons.

Most likely plant butterfly plants in the other beds. We have Monarchs constantly in our back yard. They lat eggs and the caterpillars morph into chrysalis and then butterflies.

Neat to watch and we have them n our backyard always.
