    Insane Pepper stalk!
    Our Jalapenos do excellent. Like zero care besides the odd watering growing out from the chicken coop.
    I made the mistake of not labeling any pepper. So taste testing was a roulette. I do not handle heat well.
    We planted tons of brassicas and lettuce.
    3 Days of Rain so the ion nitro charged droplets are doing amazing things for all our germination.
    We're banking on the long season to help us grow some squash. Our 3 candy roaster plants are getting very big.
    Looks promising.

    Always interesting seeing how southern gardens are doing going into autumn compared to my northeast one! Awesome video! ☺

    Glad you got some of your carrots up. Mine came up pretty good, but the fire ants decided to eat them down. They did it in the past but it was during the winter. They do it at night so you do not see them unless you go out at night. Birds have got my vining cow peas in the past, but they stole them from the pods. I would have a good long pod that had every pea eaten out. It seems everything tries to get our hard earned produce. Your brassicas are looking good.

      @@littlesaltyhomesteader If it is birds the pods will remain on the plant and only the peas will be gone. They shell them on the plant. I was really surprised the fire ants ate the carrots. They did it last year and the only way I knew was going out at night and they were covered with fire ants.

    Your peppers look amazing! They’re so healthy and the leaves are HUGE. Do touch have any tips? I’ve struggled with my sweet peppers this year. Hot peppers did great but I’ve only gotten 3 tiny bell peppers

      @@opraha1113 for the sweet peppers - they are in some pretty decent soil. I fertilize with Neptune’s Harvest liquid fish emulsion, organic granulated fertilizer, and earthworm castings. Straw mulch to help retain moisture and that’s basically all. I don’t have a regular fertilizing schedule because I’m mega forgetful, but I’ll throw something on them when I notice they are looking sad. I would say ensuring your soil is healthy would be the best tip for peppers.
