Friday video pepper grow update. I have a bunch of baby peppers forming now and the plants are growing so fast. Hi 👋 to Jimmy Pickles. Hey bud, long time no see. @jimmypickles22.bsky.social some of these plant may be from seeds I got from you years ago. 🌶️

Orchid time. This warm weather has all orchids popping. 🌴

I spent Saturday digging out a broken irrigation line in a flooded field so I could repair it today, but the field was still flooded this am.. after digging some more with the excavator I found a 2nd clean water pipe broken under the broken irrigation pipe. Ugh . Frustrating

First peppers of the year, one of these looks like it may be my Jamaican Bird x Bhut Jolokia Brown f5 cross. Time will tell as the wooden tags rotted before I stepped them up. 🌶️

Just received another rare aroid donation for the garden, an Anthurium salgarense. 🌴

The best performing Rose for South Florida, Louis Philippe (Aka Cracker Rose). I planted these about 2 years ago from 1 gallon pots. In my opinion this is the only rose worth having in South Florida zone 10+. 🌱 🌴 🌹

I've been growing hot peppers on and off for around 15 years, starting with Datil peppers after visiting St. Augustine. I have made a few crosses in the past which I'm still stabilizing. Here's a few of my plants which just started flowering this week. 🌶️
