On a quest to improve my sweet pepper crop, here are my Emerald Giants beside a 3 inch pot on 3/29/23.
Wow they are really looking good!!
I will take a picture of my two desktop plants later on today (without that pink light) lol It makes them look weird.
I hope we can have a successful pepper crop this year. I have a couple of new varieties in the greenhouse.
So far I’ve read:
1. Rich soil, more sandy or loamy, for drainage and warmth
2. Ph between 6.0 -6.8
3. Sun 6 to 8 hrs/day but not in hot sun
4. Seedlings 18 to 24″ apart (I think I’ll put them in grow bags)
5.Well mulched to absorb sun as they have a delicate root system
6. Staking helps
7. Companion plants: cukes, corn, carrots ( I’m settled on using grow bags this year, but will try a plant near one of these companions)
This info is interesting and really helpful. Thanks for doing the research. I will definitely take note of all this.
#3 has me puzzled… how can we have sun but not “hot sun”? lol I don’t get any other kind here!! 🤣🤣
😂Peppers are like Goldilocks!
🤣😁😁true!
I am going to have to find a system to raise the lights. The plants are touching the bulbs now and they are adjusted as high as they will go.
Those peanuts are really looking good as well. They will be blooming soon. I think they are such a pretty plant. I noticed I still have a few in a jar from when I last grew them. I’m going to plant a couple and see if they will still sprout.
Sure, let’s see what happens!🥜
