Wow Sherry your peppers look great. Mine have only grown a little so I don't know what's wrong lol

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Show me a picture of them sometime Cam, and I'll try to help you figure out what's going on with them. They might be ready for some fertilizer.


: )

[Willow87]

Ok Sherry. I've been giving them a weak solution of fertilizer both soil drenching and foliar feeding.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

They should surely pick up for you but keep them in good sunlight, while keeping the roots fairly cool. Check to be certain that no pests are bothering them either.


: )

[Willow87]

I still have them in small black pots and they are receiving quite a bit of sun but its been hot too. I wonder if that's why they are taking so long to grow.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yes, if they're over-heated, this would definitely cause distress and stagnate the growth.


Maybe put them in bigger pots? Show me a picture later. A picture says a thousand words.


: )

[Willow87]

Ok I wonder if I should grow them indoors in a sunny window. The pots are a pint I think. The ones that small annuals are in but the roots havent filled up the pot yet

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Pepper plants can handle being a little root-bound so it shouldn't be a big deal even if they were in too small a pot. Most of mine are in 4" - 6" pots!


Just finished typing out some info about wine for the health food remedy thread...it's actually good for you...so feel free to get bombed!


But no posting when you're three sheets to the wind!


So are you ever gonna post in the zodiac thread...Cam and JaNan? Can't remember if Zac did already but I know Greg did.


I've completed all the requests now so you can pick a sign I haven't done yet.


So I showered a bunch of plants today, and things are looking amazing. I now have a "Blue Princess" hybrid female holly shrub indoors again, with a grafted male "Blue Prince" branch. It's a two-in-one because it looks like one shrub but it has both female and male. I got it from my garden.


Let's just say that one by one my plants and shrubs have been disappearing around here and I knew my hollies and beautyberry shrubs were next, so I beat them to it one early morning at 5:30 am. Nothing but ugly bare holes remain.


It's very unfortunate that the tenants and myself all have to miss out because of one evil and jealous person, but as the saying goes, "one bad apple spoils the whole barrel".


At least I got what was mine before a thief did.


: )

[Willow87]

I brought all of my peppers inside. The Cayenne peppers are doing the best but I went ahead and brought in those and the Jerusalem cherries which have several leaves now. I've heard about wine being healthy, too bad I don't have money right now to get some lol.
I guess I need to check out the zodiac thread. I love holly Shrubs but mainly the Yaupon hollies that have berries on bare branches. Its unfortunate that you had to experience that with the crazy woman. I'm just glad that you dug up your shrubs to take them with you. I've been keeping a close eye on my potted plants since I dont have a fence. Its sad but people will steal just for the heck of it. I hope you had a good day, it was cooler today though humid.

Hello Gang!

I'm around. I've got to throw something together for supper and will be back right after that!

[Willow87]

hi Janan, what's for supper lol? i hope you got some rain today?

[Jananas Bananas]

I FINALLY got some rain today Cam!!!! First since October! Other parts of the country are flooding badly, and we are on fire. My ground has cracks in it nearly a foot wide. They have banned selling fireworks for the fourth in my county and several others and anyone caught shooting them off will be taken to jail. They won't even have any displays this year that the firefighters put on. Are you going to get to have fireworks there?

Tonight we are having Chef's Salad. Nice an COOL!

[Willow87]

I'm so glad you got some rain. I can't believe its been since October since you last saw rain. We have been lucky here to not be in too serious of a drought, in fact parts of Collin county northward aren't under any drought conditions which is strange because here we have rainfall deficits. I think Plano is still having fireworks because there is a large sign across the field were they have the firework show. I've heard about the burn ban further south. Even with all of the rain here, there are still large cracks in my yard. I've never had Chef's Salad before but it sounds good

[Jananas Bananas]

We will have to go out of town to see some this year! I love fireworks, but I understand - we don't want to burn each other up!

Very interesting, Zac. Thanks for the video.


Hi, Gang!


: )

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Good morning, everyone!


Just got up awhile ago and making some green tea. Hope everyone has a good day today.


: )

[Willow87]

Good morning Sherry and everyone.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Wow, you're up early Cam!


I'm gonna try to take a shot or two after my tea...


: )

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I'm expecting some of the hollyberries to drop off because I uprooted this poor established shrub a couple days ago from my garden...





See how some of the fruits look like they're shrivelling? I'm just glad I have the shrub though and it will re-establish itself in the giant pot I put it in over time. Poor thing.


So I was gonna take some pics but it's overcast and cloudy...I like pictures better on sunny days. The quality is better and clearer.


Chat soon...
