Default Hope this Works

I'm beyond clueless when it comes to computers. Kind of like when the infamous boxer Mike Tyson tries to use really big .25 cent words in interviews....just laughable or rather sad, take your pick. Just a few random pics of a pepper or two from last season. Here goes. Wish me luck!!

Nice pots of really colorful peppers! Do you grow them in a green house? I seem to see what might be a plastic panel behind them.

Great photos, I especially like the first pepper photo! I just started my hot peppers here. Your photo is givin' me the summer itch even worse than I had it before.

Shoot, lets ALL celebrate... fish emulsion shooters for everyone, on me! Don't forget folks, one quick swallow, breathe properly, then slam that empty shot glass down on the bar.

UUUUURRRPP.

Excuse me.

The first shooter of the season is always a little rough.

Yep Kurt, it was a bit harsh...tasted just a tad "gamey", nothing a little hot sauce can't fix. I started a few flats of pepps back on 3/3 and 3/4 and started up-potting yesterday. Gotta get my rear in gear since the tomato sowings are right around the corner.

Dee....I WISH I had a greenhouse. I have a detatched garage/outbuilding and the windows you saw house my "woodshop in the making". Been trying to get some better goodies for years now but hiding a 1 ton tablesaw from the Mrs' would prove difficult...never mind a new drill...LOL. Put my basement to good use, have a fun set-up down there for the plants. It is improving at a far faster rate than my make believe woodshop. NO COMPLAINTS!!

Its good to know I'm not drinking alone. Is there anything a little (or a LOT of) hot sauce can't fix?

Impressive pepper production, especially for so far north. Looking forward to more photos.

I'm sure all of the other T'villians have dutifully slammed their shot right along with us.

I'm not really looking forward to another round of shots though. No, really, one is plenty, I have to drive.

Ob, great pics. Happened to see your pepper list over at another forum (not sure if you've posted it here yet or not) -- sounds like you're growing some really interesting ones this year, including some crosses.

Thanks for the kind words Earl, Suze and all the fun folks here. I have to give a lot of credit to our weather here last year. Hot and juicy from early May right on until 8/24/06, (when it all came to a crashing halt...literally!!) hot cultivars thrived, lost some production with the sweet stuff.

Never will forget 8/24; my son's 5th birthday and the following picture. Wish I could find the pictures of what happened to my truck!!

Nice pics, first time I’ve seen that format. How did you post? Are the linked to another host site?
