How shallow is it, Tbaleno?


I've grown Romaine Lettuce in a 6-8" deep pot and it was perfect. At least 4" in width is preferable. Remember the container size guide...


~ 4" (10cm) Lettuce, Radish, Beetroot, Chives, Shallots.
~ 6" (15cm) Kohlrabi, Baby Carrots, Turnips, Chinese Cabbage, Spinach, Silverbeet, Endive, Sorrel.
~ 8" (20cm) Beans, Cabbage, Peppers, Cucumbers, Zucchini, Celery, Peas.
~ 10" (25cm) Broccoli, Cauliflower, deep rooted Carrots, Tomatoes.


This video shows root systems of mature Romaine Lettuce crops...

Wink Re: Growing potted vegetables
By the way Bob...


Your Bhut Jolokia plant really came out beautifully. Glad you made good use of my seeds...and thanks for sending some back my way too.


Did you do what I said and remove the old fruits so that more would develop? How is the plant doing now?


Peppers should be picked regularily to ensure continual fruit production on your plant. Consistent fertilizing too, will make your pepper plants produce abundant yields...even in pots!


Anyway, thanks for sharing your pretty shot with us. Peppers are so ornamental as well as delicious.

Here's some of my indoor peppers today still producing fruits for me in my living room window...





I keep them well fed with an organic water-soluble fertilizer.





These green beauties are swelling by the day...

Thanks all, yes Sherry I did exactly like you said...having thought the plant was spent and I now have a new crop with some ripe as we speak and many more on the way. How long can you keep potted hot peppers growing like this? I've never done it other than just for one season and I now have it growing beautifully indoors ao I was wondering.

SNC if you PM me your address I'll send you a couple of seeds in the mail... trust me a few is all you need

Hiya Re: Growing potted vegetables
Bob, peppers are perennial, if they are kept indoors and will go on producing indefinitely!


You can keep it in a warm sunny sill all winter, then pop it back outdoors in Spring!

No Richard, but I hear they're pretty tasty with tomatoes, so thank you for the great suggestion!



Looks like I'll be gobbling some red beauties this weekend!



I'll show them again before I pick 'em, just to make Bob a little more...




jealous!

There is a strain of caper (Capparis spinosa) imported to temperate areas of the Mediterranean during the golden age of Persia. The inner fruits of this variety are sold as preserves in jars for the European palate. I have it as nursery stock, and I think you can probably find it from east coast suppliers as well. Given all the other plants you have indoors, I think it is worth a shot. Be careful to differentiate between the Mediterranean strain, the tropical strain (south China, India), and the Malaysian cultivar which grows caper fruits (large pods eaten whole).

Very interesting Richard, and thank you.





Couldn't pass up another opportunity to show off my red beauties again this morning..







Although my mouth is watering, I like to leave the fruit on the vine for a couple of days until they become super red and ripe. The flavor will be phenomenal!


If the leaves on your tomato plant begin to turn yellowish when the fruits are ripening, do not worry...


Just remove them, because new leaves will begin to grow almost right away

1/3 of a pepper? was it picked early or within 1/4 mile of any other pepper? That doesn't seem hot enough given the reputation.

oh no... it was fully ripe and you have to allow for that I'm fairly tolerant of them. It was only a third of a pepper and then diced very fine in the dressing and dispersed over the whole salad. Still it left me with a warm feeling inside.... to try and eat a whole one would be way too much. There was one long red cayenne in the yard too but the Bhut Jolockia had bloomed way earlier so I dont think there was any cross polination.
