This is my green house, the three tomato plants in the middle are unknown varieties. They can be and of one of these. http://horticulture.fullcoll.edu/2007_Tomato_List.txt

Unknown Hybrid looking plant (#1 from the left)

Unknown Cherry looking plant (Middle plant) {{ i tried and tried for near half an hour to get this picture to load.... no dice. You can see it in my gallery.}}

Every time i try and load those two pictures, it automaitcally removes on critical backslash. Therefor the pictures wont post, but you can see em in the gallery.

Unknown Cherry looking plant #2 (right plant)

"Volunteer" From last years crop. A tomato got burried durring tilling, and a plant is now growing. Nature is a wonderful thing to behold.

Note the size, shape and overall qualtities of this plant for a later comparrison.

Loquat tree that has been here for many many years.

Very popular with the bugs, bird, and humans alike. I dont mind, there is always enough to share. The bugs or birds never seem to eat too much of the crop. Loquat juice is an amazing elixer.

Young jalapeno plant starting to flower.

What do you guys think? I would love to trade veggies with some people if i get the chance. You guys have some nice stuff. If you like my pics let me know. I enjoy the engouragement and really like seeing new Karma/Reputation points when I log on.

Keep posting pics everyone, they will keep this thread alive.

Hi all

The Dorset Naga is officially the hottest chili pepper in the world:

'In the summer of 2005, a sample of Dorset Naga was collected and subsequently tested for heat by two laboratories in the USA. The average of the two results, measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU), was an astounding 923,000 SHU.'

Please remember that this is a cannabis forum. There are many str8-edge forums online that cover aspects of gardening and the cultivation of foodstuffs.

I've looked at several and they all sucked. Uncorrected misinformation, people thinking the only right way to grow is their way ...

I'd love an "other plants" category here.

.. I think that info's been updated..

.. In February 2007, Guinness World Records certified the Bhut Jolokia (Prof. Bosland's preferred name for the pepper) as the world's hottest chili pepper.[6][7] ..

Plums?

 

[DocLeaf]

Nikijad - Damsons

Verite - Chili-ists debate that the credibility on many of these tests isn't all that,,, some argue that the SHU is debatable between cultivar,,, with some plants or fruit taking the claim on the "hottest chili in the world".

All agree that a species of Naga is the hottest.

yeah, like you mention "hydro" and they start talking about putting branches in a cup of water or things like that.

High Everybody,

I've got some beginner gardening questions for y'all if you don't mind. I have some ornamental flour beds that I'm prepping for the season. I just removed the ground cover and I'm curious about the different methods of weed control for flower beds. Is there any products that people use for this, or must this be done by hand thoughout the season?

Thanks

 

[Nikijad4210]

I dunno about you, Stoney, but in my opinion the best weed control isn't a chemical deal---I've always done it with my own 2 hands. No real surprise, considering my parents used to run an organic farm. It's kind of a learned habit now

Anyway, it's easier by hand than you think, just check the bed & remove what weeds pop up once a week. Doesn't take too much time.




As soon as the seeds are sown & sprout, I'll post some pictures of my herbs---I decided to grow more than just 4 Lemon Basil plants. I've got seeds for Sweet Basil, Thyme & one just for my cats---Catnip.
Catnip's gonna be iffy, because I've grown it before & know it's a full sun plant. It did ok in indirect sunlight in the shade, but this time it's indoors on the window ledge. Maybe if I'm lucky, I won't have any problems.

Eventually, I hope to get some seeds for Oregano, Rosemary & Sage, too.

 

[Stoney Bologna]

Right on Niki, thanks for the info.

I definitely prefer to avoid the chems. I was making sure there's not any tricks of the trade I'm missing. I'm thinking that being persistant at first with weed removal, will preempt the formation of seeds. Then, once the beds have filled in, I suspect the weeds to pop up much less frequently.

Peace

 

[Guest]

Stoney, maybe it would help to put a 3 inch layer of mulch on top of your beds. That way it blocks out light to develping seedlings. And when you do get a weed, it pulls out very easily. Its working for me.

I am starting a permaculture garden in my backyard, and when I have a minute, I will post all the groovy things I am putting in there.....from potatoes and herbs to mushrooms and corn. I have about 35 different things in all....

If you are interested in organic, low-labour gardening, look for books by Ruth Stout....that's the system I am using, and it rocks.

 

[Guest]
