Realized there is some great green thumbs on the SMF, we all have so much in common. Here is my set up on my 14th (13th) floor apartment balcony. I grow peppers no matter where I live.
I use different colored straws to know what is what in the beginning. This year in the garden I have:
Scotch Bonnets - I make a lot of Jamaican food so this is a must have. - Orange Twisty Straw
Chocolate Habaneros - From Jamaica, great in BBQ sauces - Purple Twisty Straw
Jamaican Red Mushroom Pepper - great for salsas and many other things, similar to a Habanero - Yellow Straw
Peter Pepper - Cause they look funny and are good for hot sauces - Green Straw
Serrano - I use in a lot of Mexican cooking and chili - Orange Straw
Ghost chili - this was a gift from my brother, sold in a can kit, I don't think it will last, gonna try to transplant ASAP
Black Krim Heirloom Tomato - I love Heirlooms - Pink Straw
Super Sweet Cherry Tomato - Great in salads - Blue Straw
I haven't started the herbs since I have been really busy and lazy but I am growing:
Thyme
Rosemary
Basil
Oregano
I germinated in plastic cups in top of my fridge, then transferred to the pots. Here they are in the pots. the pictures go up to a couple of days ago through progression.
Realized one pot doesn't have a straw, so the green pot is a heirloom tomato.
I have another Scotch Bonnet going in the pot with the other one I just have not had a good germination rate on the seeds.
Thanks for looking!
