So it begins
Comments (9)Sorry for the long wait on the follow up of this. It has been a busy week. Fireduck I have experience with yellow pear. While not the best tasting it was the most prolific last year. It was also the most tolerant of the heat. When all others quit producing it kept putting out. Most complaints are about taste. Think of them as mini romas. The taste is more pronounced when they get cooked in some way, shape, or form. My preference is to slice them in half length wise. Sprinkle with a dash of salt, a light drizzle of EVO. Then a few minutes under the broiler. Let cool, then enjoy. it brings out a lot of flavor from them. Also when full ripe they are more of an off orange color than yellow. Waiting until they turn that color makes a ton of difference. I had some splitting. It was more a cosmetic issue than anything. They will fall off of the vine easily. If the green ones fall off it is ok. Put them inside they will ripen up inside just fine. If you plant I would advise a large cage. I staked mine last year. I ended up having to use a lot of stakes. The plant gets very big. It was oblivious to septoria. Some branches showed signs of it. The rest kept on growing. I will be posting pics most of the cells in the 72 cell tray have sprouted. Yep that is right 4 day germination time. Average temp in the closet I have my grow set up is around 80 to 85 on the top shelf where they are. Also they are on the shelf next to my peppers that are on a heat mat. I think some of the heat from the mat transfers over to the tomatoes. Either way I am happy with the results so far. Happy growing everyone. Nate Guilliams Temple, tx...See MoreAnd so it begins...
Comments (26)Once they start to sprout I place them each into 4 inch pots with sterile starter. I pretty much get 100% success from sprout to seedling this way, with newer seeds anyway. I only do my longest season peppers this way, the rest I just plant directly into sterile starter trays and see who takes off. I like this method for the long season ones so I can see how things are progressing. I've been burned before with dud seeds planted in starter, I waited too long for seeds that never came up and then I missed my window for the entire season. Also the seeds sprout at different times which is great for having seedling backups. One year aphids got my seedlings but luckily I had backups ready to go in baggies. Saved me weeks....See MoreAnd so it begins.... master bath & laundry room remodel
Comments (106)For mgnohio in response to his/her houzz message request to see the tile we used in our bathroom. These are in progress pics taken last March. I still intend to get finished photos of my bathroom and laundry room posted but life has thrown us several curve balls lately and 2017 isn't starting out any better. My DH is recovering from multiple pulmonary embolisms so this month has been full of hospital stays, ER visits and doctor visits. He's recovering but it scared the crap out of both of us. The lesson here is that if you experience a sharp calf pain that lasts more than a few days and you don't know the cause of the pain, even if it doesn't present with the classic DVT symptoms (his didn't nor did he have any risk factors for developing DVT), insist on an ultrasound of the calf. If we had done that, we could have taken immediate steps to prevent this serious medical issue from becoming something far worse. We are so thankful that it didn't take his life....See MoreAnd So It Begins ...
Comments (10)Debra, Heavenly Bengal Tiger was about 5 inches. It's registered at only 5.5 inches. We planted it last season (and it did bloom), but then we almost killed it trying to eradicate nutsedge. It is recovering but the plant is still small....See MoreMy3dogs ME zone 5A
