1.jpg4.jpgHows your peppers coming along there PinchedNerve ? Ive not done the banana peppers before , we must be due some pic updates Daz ? How about it PN ? Ill try as well to get pics of some of the plants down the garden.Most impressive so far are the tiny tom cherry tomato plants...amazing wee things , sturdy as anything yet so small...i like those a lot.Some of my peppers and chillis are looking great too.Hopefully the sun will be out and ill get some pics.

Theres my little patch for growing , put it together in an afternoon.The steel fence is to keep deer and other animals out.

wish i was on some property like that, on the RandG there are 3-4 acorn sized peppers and a ton that hav not blossomed yet the bananas will be blooming soon. If its ok with thedaz i would gladly put some up.

Id imagine its perfectly fine for you to post pics PN , The Daz will likely be along shortly and i bet would appreciate it , he's 5 hours ahead of est so its almost 7am there.Aye , its good having a wee bit put aside for growing.Its not as private as it might look,always the danger of nosey people.
Ive not seen any people go near it since i put it in last year , it only takes one though.When the toms are higher and bushier im hoping i can hide a plant out there.

Here ye go Daz , a pic from where i toke of a summers evening.

Alright i will get some good ones tomorrow. Luckily nobody will find my spot unless i am very unfortunate, would you happen to know any methods to keep deer away? i can't put up a fence though, i heard putting human hair around it and peeing around it works but i am scepticle.

I dont think anything but a barrier will stop them , what about a tomato cage ? Ideal and small , they work well and hide things if a group of them.

these deer are really scared of people i walked over a hill at night and there were deer flying in every direction. Cages would be hard to transport but good suggestion. I could get some sticks as posts and use fishing line to make a stealthy fence.

Hey guys how's it going? Yeah PN you can post pics man :) I'll update later on FMK, the oldest plant has flowers now. Here that spot you go to looks so peacful, the sky looks amazing. PN what about chicken wire and weaving grass and straw or flowers through them so it looks cammoflage ? It's another nice day here so I'm gonna go for a jog go to leith and get my new light , come back and update:).... And then go for a BBQ lol

The cages neednt be difficult to transport PN , dont shape them until you get where you intend setting them.Flatpack the cage material.Alright Daz ? Good morning , im heading off to my kip but will check in later to see your new lights man , sounds good.

Sticks as fence posts and tie fishing line to make a barrier against deer. I'll try and get the picks but its raining.

I hope it works for you PN , i had a thought . . maybe nearby but far enough away plant some stuff that will definately attract critters more than hassling with a barrier.Give them an easy option.Deer like flowers and fruits and just about anything else,ive watched them and surprised they are just eating machines.

Yea i was thinking make some tomato clones and put those out there, heirloom of course i don't think they would eat hybrid maters.

Those peps look real good man the first few sets on my RandG have multiple burn spots cuz grocery stores with gardening sections here doused them while in direct light, but yours look prime.
