How to Transplant Pepper Plants and Tomato Plants

A slight update on my pepper plants 7/21/10

Here are the pictures of the transplanted plants:

These are a bunch of random peppers. These peppers are bell peppers, jalapeno peppers and a couple of topped off siling labuyo hybrid f2′s. I’m gonna harden them off in the sun (or lack of it).

There’s some wrinkled leaves on my pepper plants coz of overwatering. I held back on the watering since  the rain has been doing it for me lately. The wrinkly leaves are still wrinkly only larger. But there’s new growth on the plants and it seems that it’s growing healthy leaves now. No more wrinkled up leaves. At first I thought the wrinkling was caused by the sun coz it was too hot. But I was wrong. Just overwatering.

Garden Update 7/17/10

Well after Typhoon Basyang completely FUCKED our country up,  here’s my update:

I managed to move all my plants out of danger, thank God I grow in containers, and kept a big majority of them alive. The small trees I planted in the ground thankfully all survived Basyang’s onslaught. One canteloupe plant died. A couple seedlings I had in plastic cups and in a seedling tray didn’t survive either.

Here’s a cutting a friend of mine gave me of rosemary. It’s been in that yogurt cup for 2 weeks now. Since it’s not dead yet and it’s looking ok so far, it looks like it’ll root in a couple more weeks.

Fruits of my Labor: All Organic Salad

Now this is what I’m talking about! An all organic salad grown in my own garden. This is what keeps me gardening. The stuff I get to harvest makes me wanna grow more and more every time I see great results. And the fact that I get to eat what I grow is all the more reason for me to keep at it.

Garden Update 7/9/10

Here’s a shot of my indoor setup:

Finally have some asparagus sprouting up, it’s too tiny to take a picture of yet. I’ll take pictures when I finally get something capturable on my crappy Iphone’s camera. Got more seedlings coming up. Been transplanting seedlings from the trays and moving them out to plastic cups and hardening them off in the sun.

Garden Update

A little update on my plants. I haven’t updated in a while because of finals. I got pretty busy with studying and practicing my knife skills. I have a week off so I’ll be able to do more updates soon.

Found a Siling Labuyo plant growing in a couple pots that the help has been growing for a while now. Been nursing it back to health. It’s in a pretty shitty condition. I wanna see if it’s the real thing or some crappy hybrid. I’ve been on the hunt for the true siling labuyo and the white siling labuyo. Gonna look into talking to a few bicolanos for the siling haba / sigang also. Does anyone know where I might find some seeds? Thanks.
