My cayene has a beautiful bush but no peppers but a load of small buds. My bell and banana peppers have a few on bottom but rest of bush just flower buds. Tomato's doing great. Actually picked about 10 or 12 of the first cluster from 6 plants. i think peppers got shocked with warm then really cool weather. i put about 4 tablespoons epson salt around each plant and they are super green...

Damn im way behind you guys. I have cayenne and ghost seedlings in the greenhouse still. I feel way behind but last year I was early and my germination sucked. Good germination and strong looking plants with hot temps in the greenhouse. Up here we still had a couple mid to low 40's temps at night.
If anyone wants ghost pepper seeds I will have plenty for next spring if all goes well. |

Fine looking Bell peppers lil Buba thanks so much for sharing. I am very jealous on acounta though I have raised cayenes and jalapenos aplenty, I have never had any luck with bells. EVER!! Finally after consulting several ole green thumbed local guys they seem to think I need to add Epson salt to my soil. At first I thought they were nuts aint salt what they used to poison fields in da bible?? Well after doing some goggling i found out Epson salt aint exactly salt and got magnesium that the peppers need. Funny thing is bell planted 1 ft away from cayene same dirt the cayenes get huge and 1 plant will fill several gallon bags with peppers in a season. While I lucky to get a very few tiny bells. Gonna try salting a corner this week and putting in a bell to check this out. Will let yall know.

Hey cappy try growing some gypsy peppers. I never had a lot of luck with bells but the gypsys always do really good. Its also a really mild sweet pepper. It doesnt have the bitter bite that you get from bells sometimes.

I use a lot of composted leaves also , after i plant i cover the row with 3 or so inches of leaves then turn over in fall. Every couple years i put in some ironite i get from home depot. Any boil crawfish or crab peelings go on top the row and gets turned over in the fall , suppose to be calcium .

i had trouble last year when my plants froze slightly. they looked ok but they were extremely stunted. they all produced well once they finally came back but for a while there i didnt think i was gonna have a single one grow food.

That's about what mine are looking like right now. It seems like they haven't grown an inch since after the last cold spell. Maybe it's because I look at them everyday, so the change isn't as noticable to me. My cousin mixed me up some fertilizer he uses on his garden and I've hit it a few times with it. One of my squash is starting to bud, and my zucchini has several flowers on it. My plants just seem small.
