Up and coming pepper garden

[allXbutXgone]

Hey everyone, i just recently got back into pepper gardening, i havent done it since i was a little kid. Now ive started growing them indoors and out. I just started with a mixed bag of peppers, outside (the ones that actually have pods already) are hungarian wax and whats either anaheim tmr23, biker billy hybrid, or both. and then indoors there could be any of those, ancho, and or long slim cayenne, those are the only 5 variaties it could be. Im impressed with everyones crops around here and i have a feeling mine will get a lot better now that i have a new place to learn. let me know what you think of these pictures:

First of all, welcome to the forum. You'll find this is a great place with great people and a lot of useful information.

Your plants look really great and healthy, I was especially impressed that you managed to make some of them grow sideways! :) (Sorry, too tempting!)

[imaguitargod]

Welcome and great looking plants!

[Skyjerk]

That first plant looks like a vibrator tree...

[Chiliac]

It's not that I'm really into these things, but even if I was, I wouldn't want to use the pepper, errr vibrator on the very left!

[allXbutXgone]

ha thanks everybody, yea sorry about the sideways pics i copied them off my phone and forgot to turn them.

i was kinda surprised by the hungarian wax, ive never had inverted peppers before but ive also never had several variaties at once. i think next year peppers and tomatoes are the only plants im going to grow. i want to try to bonzai some of them, mostly just for fun, but to see the effects it has on growth and yeild, the most i did with that this year was have them wrap around the tomato cage posts to stay seperated. im thinking about ordering some different kinds but i want to see if i have one of each of the varietes form the seed pack since i have the indoor plants too. im also going to try to carry these over to their second year at least. ill make sure to keep updating picutres

a quick shot of the indoor, theyre starting to get taller and bloom but none have set yet

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/allXbutXgone/garden/0915082045.jpg
thats my indoor garden, the plants on the right are moon flowers

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/allXbutXgone/garden/0916080735a.jpg

the outdoor peppers are starting to mature more but none are quite ripening yet, the rounder peppers have a lot more pods starting right now

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/allXbutXgone/garden/0916080736a.jpg

this one only has the 3 peppers and no new flowers but theyve gotten quite large already, i dont think theyll get much bigger but im waiting on them to ripen.

[rainbowberry]

Nice. What are moon flowers and what is that nice looking dog?

[Chiliac]

I failed to spot the dog, but I'd also like to know what moonflowers are! :)

[allXbutXgone]

Ha thats my golden retriever lab mix, his name is Zion, but we just call him Z. He's only a little over 5 months old and already about 50lbs.

Moon flowers develop their bud and it will open only once, during the night, and its bright white like a full moon. after it blooms that once the flower dies and falls off but the plant remains.
mine are pretty small i got them real late in the season

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/allXbutXgone/garden/0910082222.jpg

the plant is small enough that the flower was pulling it to the ground haha

[Chiliac]

Looks very much like a Datura.

[allXbutXgone]

bingo i believe youre right on point there

[rainbowberry]

Are they easy to grow? They look beautiful. Oh and BTW, I want your dog, you can have mine in a swap, he's pedigree, about a year and a half old, and has a keen interest in chilli plants.

[allXbutXgone]

haha my dog is awesome, and fairly smart too which is a plus. he gets really excited very easily tho heh.

the flowers are pretty easy to grow, no real special requirements, i left them in small pots too long and they seem to be doing fine, the ones i planted outside that have flowered are going to seed so hopefully ill get viable seed and i can plant them much earlier next season. if grown properly they can get a few feet tall with a bunch of flowers.

[rainbowberry]

He gets excited because he's got Lab in him I bet, mines a black Lab. Please post a pic of his front half sometime.

there ya go, hes sleepin on my friends bed so thats the best i can get ha, hes real hard to take pictures of most of the time cause he doesnt like to stay still, especially when he realized youve got a camera then he gets interested and all up in your face haha

[rainbowberry]

He's gorgeous, I know what you mean about taking photos of them, they don't keep still long enough and just want to try and eat your camera. Mine loves socks and underwear, clean or worn, he loves them. I've tried to teach Murphy where the dirty laundry goes, but no, the garden and the front gate is still the fun place to throw my underwear about for all to see.

[allXbutXgone]

hahah thats pretty funny. my friends pug loves her underwear. thankfully z doesnt mess with my stuff too much, hes chewed up a few things when i first got him, but i learned quick about leaving him alone. now hes fairly well behanved.

[lostmind]

My mini dachshund Achilles LOVES socks. He used to flip the hamper and dig out all my dirty socks and drag them back downstairs to his bed when I was out.

I now have to secure the hamper before leaving him home alone. Aren't dogs great?

[Chiliac]

Awwww, can't stop looking at him!!!!

Now I wanna see a pic of the mini dachshund, too! Please!

[allXbutXgone]

heh i want to see a picture too.

mm i just mixed up a batch of honey habenero chicken for tomorrow
and just ate a jalapeno burger

[lostmind]

Well, in order to avoid derailing your thread, I started a new one:

Go post your pets!

[allXbutXgone]

but anyway someone correct me if i'm wrong, but the green peppers that are starting to pucker up more i think are the anahiem tmr 23's. i was lookin at the anahiem peppers in the store yesterday and they look just like it but not ripe. im still a little unsure about the rounder green ones but they MIGHT be the biker billy hybids from the seed pack. but then again, there may have been some other seeds mixed in, so who knows?

[allXbutXgone]

update:

the hungarian wax peppers are starting to ripen, pictures to come

none of the other ones are ripening but in due time

the new water regimen has seemed to help a lot with flower drop

and i got my seeds for next season in the mail

i got 5 color marble, pumpkin hab, golden nugget
and 2 free packs, long red slim peppers, and big jim peppers
