Let's grow some 'maters outside in Colorado

[rkymtnman]

will put some pics up later. just started some seeds a few days ago indoors of course. it's fake spring here and we get freezing temps well past April so inside for quite a while

got 3 going , 1 dud so far. 2 Cherokee purple, 1 gardener's delight. the jelly bean seems to be a dud so far

gonna pick up 2 more packs of seeds tomorrow. try to find some new varieties

 

[rkymtnman]

1 is still a dud: jelly bean
other pic is how I start all seeds. Prepara PowerPlant Mini. can still find one on Ebay occasionally. hold 3 rapid rooters perfectly.

 

[rkymtnman]

2 new packs from Lowes

super sweet

independence day f1

both ferry/morse seed co

I think I did super sweet before but I thought they were called super sweet 100's? different seed co I imagine if so.

 

[rkymtnman]

not much to report. got 1 of the Ind Day to pop, the other was a dud. starting to wonder if there is some funk in this rapid rooter? that the 2nd set of seeds that were a dud. gonna chuck it and grab some new ones

the other 3 are under a blurple and 24/0

Whatever forecast you got was accurate for me and my forcast was for about half what you got.

me too. I still have a few packs of frozen pueblo Chiles. green Chile cheeseburgers!

Coloradoans will argue (correctly so) that Pueblos are far superior to Hatch. lol.

 

[pepperpicante]

I like then both. very yummy peppers

I do too. hatch are much easier to find even here in CO. I just like the "feud" b/t CO and our neighbors to the South (NM). lol

strangely enough I was just up in Denver and picked up some of them at the olive bar at Whole Foods. that was the first time I had them. they were yellow, not red though. very tasty!!

My wife’s friend gave her a jar of pickled.
Got some seeds and planted them yesterday.
I think fresh ones would be better on a salad?

I liked the pickled ones, I'd buy again. kinda sweet, kinda smoky. but fresh I imagine would be great too. were the seeds easy to find like at Walmart/ home depot etc??
