Garden time - whatca got growing?

[Hardrockshot]

You guys talk about planting maters........ Try 155 acres worth by 20 fields that size. I hope and pray the water holds out, and we get 65+ tons an acre. Garden............. You guys will enjoy the fruits of the labor on your pizza or in your Spaghetti.......
Most of the tomatoes in the area are transplanted and every cannery wants a certain variety.........

The wife has a garden and has everything but weeds....... She can't figure out why I want nothing to go with "her" garden....But she don't grow maters.......

Oh man, that's crazy!

Please tell me you are growing Chiltepin (Chile Tepin) as well. Because I would like to buy from of you all that you do not want
I'm officially addicted again to my Peri Peri sauce and need peppers!!! I have a Chile Pequin plant now I'll post an image of it soon. I don't have a garden but it's the best I can do to be relevant to this post

Chiltepin plant and peppers below for those who have never seen them:

[rjacobs]

no chiltepin. I only grow super hots and exotics.

I thought piri piri used scotch bonnets, but I guess not. Recipe's I am seeing say thai peppers, which there are a few variety.

My understanding is that piri piri (peri peri) uses African Birds Eye peppers. Chiltepin and Pequin are both bird peppers and have great flavor. It's the closest I can get without ordering dried African Birds Eye online or attempting to grow them myself. I don't really have a setup to grow anything but now that my apt complex cut down the two big trees outside my apt I can maybe do 3-4 potted plants/peppers.

If you get a line on any tepins or pequins please let me know. I'm working in the Austin area right now and I'm putting the feelers out here. It would be nice to have my Dallas area covered as well

im not to up on the pepper scene in dallas or know anybody else that grows them.

I dont think to hard to find online though. Check out thehotpepper.com and there are vendors on there that sell peppers.


Get you a few plants started. The smaller peppers like chili pequin are supposedly VERY hardy and not really tempermental to grow. Super's require a lot of care and time to get right. To much water they dont grow, not enough water they dont grow, gotta keep the nutrients just right, lots of magnesium, soil PH has to be just right, water PH has to be just right.

I'll send you some reapers if you pickup the tab on the small flat rate box from USPS. Couple weeks I should have a bunch of ripe ones.

[strobro32]
