AggieDave 6 #2 March 23, 2011 Dude, seriously, you're asking skydivers what they're growing in their "garden?" Yeah, we have a few different tomato plants, jalapenos, cucumbers and some other stuff. The garden is my wife's world, I just operate the weed-eater attachment tiller.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

DeNReN 0 #9 March 23, 2011 I'm new to gardening...I just put down from seed 5 different hot peppers, red and green bell peppers, 2 tomatoe and several herbs. Have some others to seed as our season gets closer Sofar 144 jiffy peat thingys started....the herbs and tomatoes have all sprouted but the peppers are making me nervous...house temp is 4 deg C lower then optimal (21 instead of 25) My goal is to make my own hot sauce Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfriverjoe 1,368 #12 March 23, 2011 Right now about 3" of new snow I'll get little 3"-4" plants next month when the stores set up their "Garden Departments". They'll sit in my kitchen window until Memorial Day. This far north I really can't put anything in the ground until then. Little tomatoes, broccoli, cucumbers, brussels sprouts. Maybe some spinach.

Shell666 0 #15 March 23, 2011 Quote Right now...still f'ing snow! Me too. About 4 feet of it. At this rate, I won't GET a garden in! And the upside down tom plants are probably a distant memory since the roof of the deck came down from all the snow last month! No where for them to hide from the frost (that's inevitable for us into the latter part of May)! Oh well, I'll do my best and hope that it warms up enough for at least the tom plants - and some old sheets to cover them just in case! Lettuce should make it in the garden, even if I plant in June. MAYBE I'll plant some swiss chard and beets too. At least the greens are yummy if the beets don't grow. 'Shell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the FROST that's an issue. I tried covering them this past fall and I still had frost damage. Guess I'll just HOPE it warms up!!!'Shell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PiLFy 0 #23 March 23, 2011 So, you've got a green thumb, Warpie? Do you think you could grow some of these? http://www.chilefoundry.co.uk/2010/11/08/naga-viper-sauce-aka-terminator-reviewed-by-darth-naga/ I realize you're not near the equator. So, the peppers won't be quite as hot. I bet they'd still be pretty good, though. I have a couple bottles of sauce made w/the former world record holder: Naga Jolokia (1 million+ scovilles). Sick to say, but I've gotten used to the heat. I don't particularly care for the taste of that pepper, though. They had bad weather wherever they grow those peppers. They ran out of the Naga Viper sauce because of it I haven't been able to order any. >1.3 million scovilles. I gotta get some!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
