New Pepper Patch.
I worked my tail off today I had no idea I was going to finish but once I started I couldn't stop.
I finished right as the sun went down. I see 18 pepper plants going in it, like tomorrow. Worth IMG_2015031535828.jpg IMG_2015031537848.jpg IMG_201503153370.jpg IMG_201503155390.jpg IMG_20150315627.jpg |

Sweet! Real Sweet!!!!
When are you building mine and Sydney's?  How did are your beds Worth? That was a lot of hauling and shoveling. Do you have a canopy of some sort over the top? I like the wood color too. Makes everything look nice and peaceful. Sure looks like it is going to be very happy place for your plants.

Okay let me explain something. Where this was I dug out a huge hole for soil to go along my driveway. I then filled in the hole with logs leaves and branches. The bed was built around the hole and I filled it in with the garden soil I bought. This soil was so alkali around 8 or more only a few things would row in it. Over the years tree roots invaded the bed along with other weeds that come from lord only knows. This soil has shrunk to the bottom of the bed due to the stuff in the hole decomposing.(I dont want anything to do with that hole). The plastic is there to help keep the tree roots out smother the other stuff. will it work I dont know. What I did do was use 4 large blocks of peat moss with the soil I had in a pile at the end of my drive. The bed is 48 cubic feet total and I heaped the soil up in the middle about 6 inches. The garden soil is a mixture of sharp sand, compost, decomposed granite and probably some gypsum or crushed limestone. With peat moss at a PH of around 4.0 and my garden soil around 8 a 50/50 mix should bring the PH to around 6. Just a wild guess but what the who. This is optimum for growing peppers tomatoes and many other vegetables. I think every shovel full of soil had an earthworm in it. Before the peppers get too big if they grow at all I will work in some cotton seed meal. The area is a little on the shade side at times but It should be okay. Worth |

Planted out.
18 peppers total.
4 Jalapeno. 5 Poblano. 1 Sweet banana. 4 Gypsy. 4 Habanero picture showed red peppers. I also put the cages up. Once you have a bunch of this stuff it isn't so bad. Worth IMG_2015031621638.jpg IMG_2015031633498.jpg |

What do you have in mind for the posts? Why are they there, as tall as they are? They look cool, and I can think of a couple of uses I might put them to, but I wondered what you were thinking of.
