Started these batch of peppers, Poblanos and Habanero's, back at the end of November 2025. Also have one 7 Pot Primo pepper plant growing. They're looking ready to be transplanted soon as I am getting antsy to start a new batch of super hots. Currently hardening off a few as I have ran out of room in my 4x2 grow tent.

To combat frost/low temp in my region, I built a lanky hoop house on one of my 4x4 raised beds. It's my designated pepper bed, mixed in with CA Poppy and marigold (once they sprout). I currently have 3 in the raised bed, and 2 are hardening off. I still have 8 more plants in my grow tent.

Hope everyone is having a spicy morning!

First time growing this variety and they're pretty tasty. Then again my taste buds are bland so the taste of these are extraordinary to me haha. I am really surprised how few of them csn be humongous while others are tiny. Either way, I grew too many that I can eat so I've been giving the excess away to family and friends.

Hatching another batch of peppers and starting cucumbers soon. You can follow me on TikTok under Deku Farms if y'all interested in more daily updates. I'm trying to be more active on lemmy 🙏🏽

One of the few pepper pods showing, bell peppers. I planted 5 to a box, with 3 of them being conjoined. I also added a vermicompost bin and to my surprise, the peppers have responded really well to that method as well as to my Amaranth + Basil.

I'm a bit behind on my pepper plants this season so im looking to catch up by planting more seeds this month, mainly from the grocery store bell peppers.

Some say they dont fruit or are bad, but honestly its worth a shot. Sounds like what Big Seed wants us to believe lol

I have more content on TikTok, Deku Farms if y'all care to follow 💚

I've been growing these sunflowers for a little over half a year and I think I'm always going to have these in rotation. The birds and bees love these beauties as one gets drunk off the pollen while the other snipes bugs from above.

Anyone ever harvested sunflower seeds to eat? How was the process and taste?

Planted Pink Ladies along with Red California Poppy to bring some life to my front yard. I've grown tired of the mono lawns I've seen and wanted to spruce things up.

It's been amazing seeing the flowers blossoming as well as fruits growing. Currently got blackberries, boysenberries, raspberries, blueberries, and grapes looking healthy as heck and pushing flowers!

Hello Earth Shepard's! Waiting patiently for some harvests to come in. So far I've been plucking away at my lemon trees to make lemonade (tried wine, but for health sake I'm sticking to lemonade) until everyone else catch up.

Invitees are: Blackberry (x2), Peach (x2), Raspberry(x2), Boysenberry(x3), Blueberry(x1), Strawberry (pulled a few and they're good, x8), Summer Crisp lettuce (still producing and tasty,x6), Tomatoes (Roma and Black Krim,x10), Apple (x1) Bell Peppers(x12) and Zucchini(x2).

As you can see, bell peppers and tomatoes make up a large part of my garden. I'm shifting more to a perrenial grow instead of annuals (peppers here are perrenials) hence the large amount of peppers. In hindsight, I should had bought more Blueberry bushes and at least another tray of strawberry starters.

Besides the strawberries and the trees, everything else has been grown from seed. Pictures are just a minor snippet of what's growing in my backyard.

Zone 10B. I forgot the variety of these, either Velvet Queen or just a generic red sunflower variety. The only red sunflower I managed to grow successfully so far compared to the regular kind.

Also learned how to harvest these seeds so I'm looking to keep a sunflower patch growing indefinitely. Just need to squeeze in another spot in the garden 😅

At least the Articuno looks good, probably just stick to getting singles for this set until Team Rocket comes out later this year. What's your chase?

So stoked to see my tomatoes coming through. These are the beefsteak variety as I'm waiting for my Black Krim to sprout. I decides to go hard on producing more veggies and fruits since I been lollygagging on getting around to starting up my raised beds. Got a no til plot that should be ready to plant in, just undecided if I should give that plot to my tomatoes or to corn? What would y'all do? Growing anything juicy this season?
