Golden Greek 10/9 and Sheepnose 11/

[MaryL]

I finally have a baby Golden Greek!  This is almost a month old, but it’s alive and looks healthy.  

It takes SO LONG for a pepper to germinate sometimes! One reason to have a few other projects going at the same time I find.

[Shawn]

Your note shows a date of 10/21 Mary.  You sure you planted it 10/9?  If it is 10/21 then it only took two weeks instead of a month   

[MaryL]

Yes, I had planted a 2nd seed on the 21st just in case!  Shortly after that I had germination which would’ve been too soon for it to be the 2nd seed.  So, I might have another wee seedling soon if it takes.  I put a 2nd seed in the Snubnose pod on the 21st, too.  Still waiting to see what happens there.  If I’m successful with the Snubnose I will put both of these in a big garden together.

[Shawn]

Ah Ok.  Got it!

I've been getting a few blossoms on my golden greeks, but haven't seen anything set yet.

[MaryL]

My Sheepnose sprouted!!!  3rd time was a charm!!  So I’m adding the name to the title of this thread, and at some point will put these 2 in a bigger garden.

As an aside, y’all, I’m cracking myself up because I just realized I referred to this pepper above as a Snubnose instead of a Sheepnose.  Isn’t that the name of a type of gun??  Lol.

 

[drbanks]

Golf clap.

[Shawn]

YAY the Snubnose, Uh I mean Sheepnose sprouted

In the foreground are my Golden Greek and Sheepnose peppers.  It’s time to get them their own machine(s).  I’m not sure where to put them yet.  I have 2 Harvests available, which will probably be too short, and 1 tall machine.

[Shawn]

Well they can go into the new machine you just bought 

[MaryL]

That’s true!  But I have no where to put the new one, lol.

[drbanks]

You know, I've heard of having that problem.  

[MaryL]

I broke them out into their own Harvest.  If I need to put in a taller machine later I will try, though the roots of the bigger one were super thick.  Shawn, do you think either of these can stay in a short machine?  I did not top either of them.



Twin machines

If you keep it trimmed it can but mine was about 16" for the Greek. The Sheeps I will measure but those I think will be ok.  I will let you know for sure later.

[MaryL]

My first Greek flower bud.  Sorry he’s facing the other way.

[Shawn]

She is shy but adorable

[MaryL]

After taking this pic I snipped off a number of the biggest leaves.  More light, plus I think it’ll pollinate easier without the big floppy leaves in the way.

They both look good
