Yeah if I waddn so lazy I'd brew up some stuff instead, but ....

Mine are almost all in black 3 gal. pots since I read a lot that says they like their roots kept warm. I tried some jalapenos in the ground too last year but the damned grasshoppers swarms wasted those poor pups.

Since we have goats and donkeys here my soil is a mix of potting soil, hay and aminal "stuff". The natural soil here contains a lotta clay which means it's not really very good on its own and when it gets dry it's like rock!

The pepper sprouts I bought are doin great, big ol lush lookin leaves and firm stems, so they should do Ok. My overwintered stuff is full of leaves and buds so maybe in another month or so I'll have a good crop to pick through, hopefully till late fall
