4-8" plants into containers around Jan. 1st. The transplants took off and the oldest are over 2 foot and the younger ones just behind them around 18" and counting. 18 plants out of 20 have blossoms.

East Fort Lauderdale, about 200 miles south of you "as a crow flies". Hope they hold up, unreal weather year thus far. Hope the rain finally subsides, I mean deluge, either every 2 days or 4 days straight.

Champion II 4th of July’ Jetsetter 1st Prize Tomande Granada Mountain Magic Bush Early Girl Bush Champion II Celebrity Yaqui Giant Beef BD Cherry Bush Goliath Bloody Butcher Yet to germinate and probably won’t: Better Boy Black Cherry I’m with you Kay; it is easy to get some varieties started too early. Champion II, Jetsetter, First Prize and a couple others are close to the top of a tall plastic domes and I seeded them on the 6th of January. elight; I will be interested in knowing how your Green Giant verity works out. I’m anxious to see how my Giant Beef does. I hope it is all Henry Fields says it is. My second crop of Premium Crop Broccoli is well on its way. Hope to be harvesting in 4-5 weeks. I have 2 new varieties of Broccoli on order. 1st Castle Dome with DTM of 50, 2nd Lieutenant with DTM of 55. If Castle Dome were to work out I could potentially grow 5 crops of Broccoli between Sep and June. With Lieutenant maybe 4 crops. Have 3 new, to me, varieties of Bell Peppers under grow lights. Alliance, Early Summer and Touchdown. They are the most disease resistant varieties that I could find being sold in small quantity of seeds. For example Early Summer and Touchdown are resistant to Bacterial Leaf Spot races 1-5, 7-9. I’m a little puzzled in how they are currently doing. Possibly I could get some opinions from you folks. I planted the Alliance in seed starter they germinated ok, but all didn’t make it and they are doing well under the grow lights. I planted Early Summer in a poor, free compost. Lots of leaves and sticks. It germinated well and did splendid under the lights, easily outgrowing the other two varieties. I planted the Touchdown in a potting soil, which contains some slow release fertilizer. They were the first to germinate and they germinated very well. However, they almost refuse to grow under the lights. The plants each have two small true leaves and the seed leaves have turned yellow and now are dropping off. I not at all sure the Touchdown seedlings will make it. What do you think? Variety or seedling soil? Larry |

One of my emails today had some good recipes for chile vinegars and oils.
http://www.fieryfoodscentral.com/201...gars-and-oils/ I got another 36 peppers stepped up last night but ran out of soil. I am only going to be keeping around 50 plants and the rest go to the herb farm but I am going to taking care of them through March. |

I don't know the answer about the peppers. Just wanted to say I have Jetsetter and Champion II growing as well. I did more hybrids than usual as some were listed as TYLCV resistant. Somebody else on here should have input on the pepper question.. :-) Ginny Last edited by Fiishergurl; January 18, 2016 at 07:34 AM. |

I actually had a light frost on my roof this morning. This summer when we were having record breaking heat here I told anyone and everyone that would listen that I did not care how cold it got I would not complain. I flat out lied. I hate cold weather. At least the sun is shining. I am also tired of all the gray days and excessive rain.
