The Garden & Giving Thanks

[@growingoutthebox]

Most the peppers I grow are Capsicum which contain capsaicin. Helps control blood pressure, digestion, brain function and weight. Radish tea: 1 whole radish, 1 inch of cayenne pepper, a thumb of dry ginger/1-1/2 tablespoon to 1 cup of water. Blend to a pulp, add to a pot and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add lid to steep for 15 minutes. Strain…. Add 1/4 fresh squeezed lemon juice and your liking of honey. I drink it at least once a week and every day if I’m feeling achy until feeling better.

Good job, guys! We all love you here at the farm! We just harvested the last green tomatoes and peppers! Winter reset!

[@growingoutthebox]

@@foragingandurbanfarmingatt4745 I like the winter reset👍 I’m growing a few things inside this winter. Mainly ginger because we use so much. Also will be growing squash under netting next year. It’s going to be an interesting year.

[@lisakruger5289]

My tomatoes and peppers were still putting out as well until yesterday. I had tons of basil still growing too, but the cold last night took them all out. So I'll clean up my beds and reset them and get rid to start on winter sowing next month. Hope you all had a Happy and blessed Thanksgiving!

I c u like containers....big warehouses r changing out their lighting systems 4 new tech. ...up north they were giving away 100s of large industrial thick heavy glass light shades. They were about 20 inches tall and 20 inches across. I wonder if warehouses near u r removing their old commercial lighting fixtures. I used these 2 grow fresh veggies in the winter. They were like bell jar cloches... small greenhouses. I gave all mine except 1 when we moved south. Anyway.... something u may run into at a recycle place or know some1 who knows some1 changing out 2 led systems. U can turn them over in the summer and use as garden containers. I hope u c them 1 day. So sturdy. Anyways... thanks 4 the thanksgiving film episode. Your whole team r pros! Enjoy! 😊🌶🍃🌎🍃🌶😊 above and beyond so much better than tv.

[@Im-just-Stardust]

I like those 'banana peppers'' you have there. Highly productive! I was browsing in my seed catalogue and saw similar peppers called ''Hungarian hot wax''. Is it this variety that you are growing? I will definitely give them a try next summer after what i've seen here. PS I totally agree that we are what we eat. I drastically changed my diet 5 years ago and my body responded in ways I could not even dream of. Its sad that too little people understand that. Our gut flora is a universe, and when you feed good things to an entire universe, good things happen.

[@growingoutthebox]

@@Im-just-Stardust I really appreciate your input. Just like dropping seeds for the first time. “You have to start”…. Lifestyle 👍 These are just heirloom banana peppers that are in my 3rd season. I start all my peppers inside in February. I then up pot them into 32oz cups where they live until all frost has passed. By the time they are planted into the garden they are flowering and I will have fruit before our heat is too intense. I remove all the fruit during the hottest months and by the time the temperatures start to come back down they go into overdrive producing fruit!

Hi beautiful harvest, I’m getting a problem in producing sweet peppers right now I’m putting in banana and grass tea think it’s helping a bit so could you give me more ideas to help them out there are green and healthy have a wonderful week.❤

[@growingoutthebox]

@@Gardenofglory-l6v 1st thing I would do is check the pH of my soil. That will dictate the fertilizer I would use. You want a range of around a 6.6 I start my peppers inside very early around February. Alfalfa and powdered eggshells. You can liquid feed with fish emulsion.

[@Gardenofglory-l6v]

Hi thank you for your info but I don’t think we get alfalfa down here,I would try to do the other things thanks again 👍

[@growingoutthebox]

I’m in Georgia zone 8A. I have dwarf Orinoco and veinte cohol bananas.

[@tonioyendis4464]

What zone are you in? I am in zone 9A. That Ph-level tip you dropped was Gold! I'm very interested in this. Very nice groceries and presentation! Shalom

[@growingoutthebox]

I’m in Georgia zone 8A. Yes, the pH of your soil is the canvas for what your garden will look like as it matures. While the pH scale is 0 to 14 with 7 being neutral…. just 1 numbers up or down represents 10x exponentially more or less Hydrogen of what your plant needs from the soil. pH represents “portions, parts or percentage of Hydrogen ions” in your soil. Hydrogen is acidic. So if you soils pH is a 5 and your plants need a 7, that’s 100Xs out of range. Or 100Xs more or less acidic. This is where it’s possible to poison your plants with the very same fertilizers you use to make them grow healthy and strong. Nutrients begin to lock out and others become toxic.

Banana peppers is more of an herb than a chili. Most the peppers I grow are Capsicum which contain capsaicin. Helps control blood pressure, digestion, brain function and weight. Radish tea: 1 whole radish, 1 inch of cayenne pepper, a thumb of dry ginger to 1 cup of water. Blend to a pulp, add to a pot and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add lid to steep for 15 minutes. Strain…. Add 1/4 fresh squeezed lemon juice and your liking of honey. I drink it at least once a week and every day if I’m feeling achy until feeling better.
