I have no room. But they were on sale so I clicked the clicker. Around here I could start seed in February.
Cool.
I have a cheap and nasty poly tunnel in my garage, that I need to set up. It's 6 meters x 3 meters (19.6 feet x 9.8 feet)
Hoping it can withstand a good Wellington wind. I will sow some more tomato seeds in Feb' and hope to extend the tomato season in the poly tunnel. All going well I can get this up sometime next week. Weather and other commitments pending.
Looks good Aaron, we've grown the Isis, Cherokee and i think the Blondkopfchen years ago. The Isis is super sweet and productive. Grew them until i'd used up all the seeds.
From 2013, the Isis is the orange one, like a furless apricot. The black one is an Indigo Rose, we've tried many 'black' tomatoes and this is the blackest one we've grown so far,

Coon in the backyard last night. Pesky little creature. There is no food but I have a rain bucket that's full.
These guys are crazy smart. An exterminator told a story about raccoons living in someone's garage. They couldn't figure how it got in and out of the garage. Finally staked it out. The raccoon crawled down from the rafters pressed the garage door opening button and left the garage. Nutz.
I saw some red habanero seedlings while out today. They spoke to me......take me home Chris, I want to grow up and be a crazy kiwi hot sauce.
Well how could I leave them there.

My tomatoes plants have recovered nicely. They responded to a simple aspirin, baking soda and water spray. I did spray on some copper fungicide too though. The cooler weather they like. The leaves have toughened into a leathery like texture.
Went to farmers market yesterday and picked these:
The he garlic is a very old variety from deep Mexico. The little nodules on the stalks are edible mini-garlics. They don't grow scapes.

Sorry for the late reply.
No I got the plants from Honey Haven farm.

I have some salt I am going to smoke and I am going to smoke and dry the peppers and mix some with salt and use what is leftover and crush them up into a powder.
That's a very different looking pepper plant. Is it multi-stemmed or are there a number of different plants in the pot? Tiny leaves?
Here, looks like some creature has taken a healthy sampling of one of the Chocolate Scorpions.

Yeah, it's multi-stemmed with tiny little leaves. Here are a few adult pictures:
It does well in winter and summer.
Thanks Aaron, the name was not new but i'd never seen one. Will be a cool looking addition to your garden, little teardrops of fire.

I think a terracotta pot for him is in order.
Cool pepper plant Aaron.
I have been busy turning over the garden and erecting the poly tunnel I bought months ago.
It was a real PITA, parts mislabeled and some that did not even match the parts list.
I ended up having to cut some wood to bridge the gap on every bottom corner. It's a cheap one, so I just hope it can last a good Wellington wind. It has the fence to take the brunt of the northerly.
Size 3 x 6 meters / 9.8 x 19.6 feet.
