Nah. The wee ones are delicious as well. How else do you bait in mama for the 2-for-1??

Anyhow, in Feb., I'll be starting the habeneros inside. Hand dug a 14x17 approx.

I'm thinking about doing tomatoes, carrots, kale, bush snap peas, possibly something else.

In the 5 gal. pales, I'll do Thai basil and a variety of habeneros.

I like the hanging sugar tomato hybrids so much last year, I'm going to get about nother 7 of them. They are productive and suuuuuper sweet. Hang them all of my wood hutch and the deer actually never touch them. Wow, right?

I'm jonesing for more snow though. We've barely gotten any now this year

have you thought of trying Ghost Peppers or Carolina Reapers

The Ghost's have a slight citrusy taste before the heat kicks in but the Reapers is just a punch in the mouth. Hot going in and hot going out. HaHa

Yep. I grow the Bhut, the Trinidadi yellow scorpion, the chocolate and a hybrid that started by chance of the yellow and choco peppers. Very sweet to bite into, then the building heat of the choco. Perfect for pies, chocolate recipies....well, everything, really. Respectably hot, IMO.

PS-is that an "I" (eye) in your username or an "l" (ell)?

Cheers,

An "ell". "Real men shave str8" spaces and vowels out

We have 10'x20'x12" tomatoes, lemon cucumbers and green zucchini. 4'x4'x8" rhubarb. 2ea 2'x20'x8" rosemary, sage, thyme, oregano and tarragon for one and the other is full of basil. I will post pics when it is up and running( boxes are built and filled with dirt, compost and coffee grounds). Oh just an FYI if you are needing to add a little life to your garden go to Starbucks if you have one near you and they have free coffee grounds almost all of the time, we just got about 18 cubic feet from a few stores near us and it works great.

Just built a small garden patch out of 2 layers of recycled cinder blocks. Laid them out like bricks and painted them to match the house. The blocks are not perfect, they're chipped and such, but I like the weathered look of it. The veggies are planted, hopefully they'll come up soon.

Not exactly vegetables and not exactly gardening (more of a photography post really) but here's a shot of my wife's Easter lillies:
