Those are some healthy looking plants.

How do you over-winter your plants? I ask because I have yet to try and was thinking about doing this with a few this year.

Yeah what is the best way? Great plants i started to drool when i saw your 7's

I think Chiliman was joking.
Hard to tell from the pic, but are you collecting rain water?

Nova · Jun 23, 2009

Looking very healthy there sly

As for overwintering guys i thought you just hack the plant off right down near the base and apply a wax seal on the cut to stop rotting.
After that just keep in a cool dark place and don't water.

When you are ready for it to come back to life give it light, a good drink and maybe a little superthrive.

Very nice! How are the Fatallis as far as taste goes? I've never grown them but they look so good.

caroltlw · Jun 24, 2009

Yes, nice rainwater collection. How big is that thing - coupla 100 gallons?

Oh, and plants look very happy. You won't be able to see the stakes soon.

Nice little forest you have going there.

bigt · Jun 24, 2009

Very nice selection Sly. They all look healthy and happy. You'll be swimming in pods soon.

Silver_Surfer · Jun 24, 2009

Nice pepper patch. What is your rain barrel made from?

rds040800 · Jun 24, 2009

I have just over 1000 gallons in rain water. Just in case of another Drought, and with over 300 plants, it helps.

The Rain Barrels are plastic with Steel Cages. They held Weed killer at one time. Got them for free from a Farmer. He had 20 of them. I only got a couple.

I hope you found a way to clean that chemical residue out thoroughly.I suppose you did since the plants are doing great. I'd love to score a water barrel like that for cheap.
