Your peppers are so beautiful!!! I can't get over the variegation of those leaves and the purple flowers on the one plant. ❤
Thanks! It's going to fun seeing how they all turn out
Those pepper crosses are all very pretty.
Thanks! I can't wait to see what the rest of them produce.
So excited for the garden this year. 🌶️Wow, those peppers! That white with green dust leaves, and the pink dusted ones - INCREDIBLE! 😮🤯😲 I can't wait for the taste test video on these! And one day for you to start selling seeds of these- amazing! 🤩
Thanks! It's going to be a fun summer for me. It's going to be fun to see how some of them turn out. I'm hoping to have quite a few seeds online this fall.
Thanks Jim another season very nice, best of luck.
Thanks Emil! Same to you!
Seems like a lot of hard work; but I bet you love taking care of your garden. Very excited to seeing how the ongoing and future projects go. Enjoy the weekend. Cheers!
It is a lot of work. Our pump on the well stopped working, so I've been having to water by hand. I have somebody coming out to fix it in a week or so. I think a little hard work is good for me though. It's been fun to finally get out there and do a few things. It's about 29.5 C. here today, and windy. Hotter tomorrow, but we still have some cold nights to deal with before we can plant tomatoes and peppers. Have a great weekend!
Great update. Strong start to the season over there. Thanks for the share!
Thanks! Now if the late freezes will leave us alone.
@@MidwestGardener Careful. The late freezes will never leave us alone. LOL It is the Midzone Curse. :)
@@UT33200 Yep, I see one lurking about 10 days out for us.
Beautiful
Thanks!
I ordered the new pink Greenstalk that just came out and I’m excited for it to get here. I think this new one will be for fun micro tomatoes. I enjoy growing them and my nephews get a kick out of them. Happy growing Mr. Jim 🌱
Thanks! I plan to put some micro tomatoes in ours later on. I think it will be perfect for that. Good luck with yours!
I'm most fascinated with your pepper crosses. Gorgeous foliage. Would love to lay hands on the stabilised seed of the Ruby red variety. Thanks for the tour and all the best for a successful season.
Thanks a bunch! It's going to be a while before that one is stabilized. hope you have a great season too!
Thanks for sharing😊
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Lookin good Jim
Thanks Steve!
Great update! I've got to get moving on getting my Greenstalks ready! 😯
Yep, things kind of sneak up on you this time of year. Thanks again for the Greenstalk! We have both enjoyed growing things in it. I sure hope we don't get any more freezes. We have one night about 8 days or so out that is supposed to be down to 35.
@@MidwestGardener right? And yeah. I got to keep an eye on the weather because I've got to plant before we leave for Florida 😬 here's hoping 🤞
@@Onniesprairiegarden Good luck! Sounds like fun.
Good Morning Jim - I've had my eye on those green stalk planters but have not figured out where to put one yet. I'm also looking at Garden Soxx kits for areas where nothing will grow or soil is contaminated by round up or other contaminates. You sure have a lot a tomato varieties and I'm very interested in your dwarf tomatoes. Love the updates on the pepper projects too. Hope you have a wonderful weekend and take care..
Good morning Sue! I'm hoping we have a better tomato year this year than last. We still have a few cold nights between now and when we can put tomatoes outside for good. Have a great weekend!
That's a good variety of tomatoes! Our house is urban and garden small so I can only grow a few of each variety.
This is my first year trying dwarf tomatoes. Geranium Kiss and Wherokowhai. If I like the dwarf type, I try different ones next year. I've got 3 types of cherry toms started, Champaign Bubbles, Red Centriflor, and Gold Nugget. Regular tomatoes started are Tigerella, Ananase Noir, Berkley Tie-Dye, Jubilee, and Wapsipinicon Peach. I think I'll start a couple Chocolate Stripe today. They are a dark mahogany red with dark olive green stripes. I always start too many seedlings but I give the extras to my co-workers who garden. They're all anticipating this years selection of seedlings!
Thanks again for sharing your garden!
Thanks! Geranium Kiss isn't one of my favorite tomatoes. It is pretty productive though. My favorite dwarf tomatoes are Rosella Purple and Boronia. I think you would really enjoy Rosella Purple. Glad to hear you share seedlings with other folks. My co-workers used to love me during tomato season :)
I transplanted my mini tomatoes and peppers in a green stalk indoors, thinking it would be simple enough to just disassemble and move outdoors in a few weeks. I'm already regretting it a little lol. Starting at around 5:00 love that pepper cross, its beautiful!
Thanks! I never thought about have a greenstalk indoors. I guess that would be doable. I will be glad when we get passed our frost free date. I'm really excited to see how some of the pepper crosses progress.
Your growing such lovely and interesting specimens . I have always wanted a greenstalk but haven’t gotten it yet, maybe this year I will 😊
Thanks! Greenstalk planters are fun to grow in. This one was a gift from our niece.
I'm trying some dwarf tomatoes this year which are new to me, so I'm excited to try them. I've got Boronia, Maralinga, BrandyFred, Purple Reign, and Uluru Ochre started. Some of those were your recommendations. My pepper plants are getting big and can't wait to go out to the garden!
Nice! By the looks of that list, I think you will really enjoy eating your tomatoes this year.
Great garden share. I really want a green stalk but I don't know where I would put it. I'll wait until my cheaper ones fall apart. It's amazing how well the dollar trees versions hold up. Great looking pepper plants, I love the mostly white one. How long can a pepper plant survive in the 6 cell packs? I did get to plant my potato seeds yesterday. Healing slowly but surely. Boring just sitting around. Thanks for the share of a beautiful start to your gardening season.🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞
Thanks Shirley! Those dollar tree stackable pots do work pretty well. I have some of those too. I've never tried to see how long pepper plants can survive in a 6 cell pack. If they are getting tall, it might be time to plant, or move them to a bigger pot. Get well soon!
@@MidwestGardener thanks 😊
