directly above the center of the earth
getting 10-12 habanero's ripening each day now. There are a dozen Trinidad Scorpion and 3 ghost pepper pods that are almost ripe enough to pick. The Caroline Reaper has gone to full bloom. hopefully I get pepper pods soon. The Chocolate habaneros are really growing but it may end u being too late in the year for them
Navel Orange, Pomelos and Lemons look like a bumper crop

Good read for those who are interested in battling invasive species.
I'd read it earlier.

Sounds like we're all doomed if a male plant ever finds a female and they produce viable seeds. Given that they're already taking over by just spreading from existing plant material from a single female source.

Man we really got screwed this year with the tomatoes compared to you guys.

Anyone know of an AI powered squirrel water blaster??

Also the smell emanating from my shed....is strong. :busted:

Only thing left going in the garden are the snap peas and a poblano plant which flowered a second time (but too late..).

That reminds me... next year I may float the idea of growing some ganja... just got to get it past the Ministry of the Interior. :D

Yesterday's haul, less the cherries, 'cause I ain't got time to pick all those fuckers:

"Up to six plants are allowed per Colorado resident over age 21, with as many as three plants flowering at one time."

"Marijuana plants must be kept in an enclosed, locked area that can’t be viewed openly. This means the plants can’t be outside."
Man that takes alot of fun out of it. I would imagine you can go down to a store and buy rooted cuttings to grow out? Being able to do that would save you alot of time and also the pain of growing a plant only tp find out its a dude.

Everything except for some thyme, spicy oregano and peas are dead. Garden is mostly cleaned up for winter.

The peas are loving life right now.
