Golden Greek 10/9 and Sheepnose 11/

[Shawn]

I THINK the Sweet Heat pepper would do fine in it.

[Kate]

Really! Any others, guys?

My Sweets top out about 7.5" and the Almas at 8".

Of the smaller machines, the Harvest, Classic 7, or Classic 6, which is set up the best in your opinion?

[Shawn]

I only have the Harvest out of those.

One of the benefits of the bigger machines is greater water capacity, which fruiting plants go through so fast.  But I also love the small footprint and tidiness of the Harvest.

Gave this a trim this morning.  Not because it’s a dense plant like the Russian GAL pepper, but I cut off the oldest leaves and those with leaf curl.  Just cuz.

[Shawn]

Your sheeps look great.  I see some reddening at the bottom.  Also I always cut the old leaves off.  To me (might be in my mind) the plant gets energy and grows better.

[MaryL]

I think you’re right. I might even trim some more.  I only stopped in case I would shock it, because this plant is a little sensitive.

[Kate]

Wow, that looks great! Those peppers look huge!

[MaryL]

I had my first Sheepnose peppers, and they were delicious!  I made this dressing to dip them in (Note: reduce the sugar by half - too sweet). thisoldgal.com/sweet-vidalia-onion-salad-dressing-marinade/

That pepper looks soooo good, and if I remember it was

Your dressing looks good too!

[Kate]

Really lovely! There's nothing like fresh fruits and veggies, and it doesn't get any fresher than from your own garden or Aerogarden

I'm not sure why, but I get a little emotional seeing plants thrive, happy and healthy to grow, flower, and produce like that. I must be losing it in my old age, LOL!

BTW, that dressing looks great. It's very similar to the one I make. I'd agree on the amount of sugar she uses. It would be way too sweet. I don't do sugar at all though, so I use a sugar substitute and I'd do less than half of what the recipe calls for. I love making my own dressings

Nice, thick walls! How many did you harvest for that picture?

[Shawn]

These do have thick walls and are also great to stuff.

Two peppers, but one had developed a problem area and I had to cut around it.  So 2 full peppers would’ve yielded slightly more than what you see.

[MaryL]

Another crop starting to ripen!  Btw Kate, I agree on that dressing- I had cut the sugar in half and it was still too sweet.  But still a great flavor combination.

[MaryL]

In re-viewing this, it kinda looks like a plum.

[Shawn]

  Yes, it does look like a plum

[MaryL]

They ripened so quickly!
