I hope so. But look how much they filled in the few days since I thinned them. One month since I planted them.  |

You can see why I needed to move the center one.  |

It's from General Hydroponics. It's pretty highly rated. It's a bloom booster for most anything that blooms, flowers and fruits. You use the liquid first at the beginning of flowering. Then at the beginning of the last crop to shock it into producing one last plentiful crop. There is also a powder that is very powerful, not for everything. This is my first try with this. It literally shocked all the existing blooms on the Aji Lemon and they fell off. But overnight there are lots of new tiny buds. We shall see. I don't know yet whether this is a good idea or not. I am using the maximum recommended amount on the Aji Lemons. A little less on the sweet pepper plants. The Numex and Real Deal peppers are due on Saturday.

These really needed the undergrowth cleared out. I can't believe the pile I hauled out of there.  |

It amazes me as to how much accumulates.

I decided to try the main pepper that was still green. I'm going to scrap most of the current projects soon.
It was mild, but not sweet. Perhaps they need to fully ripen to get any sweetness. No heat. There was not a lot of flavor, either.
This project is a bust. I do not recommend these.

Well, everything will be from Park Seed. I haven't determined what is going where, except for the Farm XL. I will be growing Fresno and Cayenne Peppers on the XL. Those are 30" plants. The other seeds I received are Pot-A-Peno, Just Sweet Pepper Hybrid, Mama Mia Giallo, Sweet Pickle, and Roulette Hybrid.
My hips are really giving me grief today. I have football and visiting tomorrow. Sunday is open at this point. We shall see when I get started.

These turned out to be a disappointment. They produce attractive peppers. They are about 2½" long x 1" diameter. They are supposed to turn bright orange. But they taste awful. Someone must have been sarcastic when the named these "Yummy". I've tried three of them. They all taste like Dawn dish soap to me. Yuck. Bye-Bye.  |

Aww, that's too bad. They're real beauties. I guess that I would pickle them, if they were mine, because my husband eats anything. 😄
