i need some more help yall. so i have three types of pepper plants: cowhorn hots jalapeno poblano they're both in pots in the same spot and ive been caring for them roughly the same. the leaves are all wilted (but still nice shade of green) on the cowhorns. this happened once before and it came back but not it has happened again and they're not growing anything since. just wondering why it happened so I can try to make adjustments accordingly? the jalapenos and poblano are doing great though.

psychokitty posted:I got me a red mater! Mmmm. If you like San Marzano tomatoes, get yourself some of these seeds: http://www.growitalian.com/tomato-san-marzano-redorta-106-94/  That's a pretty normal one from my garden a few years ago. drat those are tasty maters. Oh and to the guy with all of those reseeded tomatoes, they'll only be any good if they came from an open pollinated/heirloom variety. Otherwise you'll get all sorts of mutant freak tomatoes that probably won't taste very good.

Start an almond farm and buy time on NPR to tell everyone that the water requirements of almond trees are not unique so it's okay that it takes a whole gallon of water to make one lovely almond.

Instead of lawn grass, you can use a drought resistant groundcover like  Dimondia and then native trees like bay laurel and Ray Hartman ceanothus and olive and lemon and like California poppies and mock orange and lavender and grape-soda lupine and aureus aureus and manzanita and sticky monkeyflower and Guadalupe Island rock daisy mmmmmmmmmm.

A soil test kit is like 8 bux or you could get regular ph strips and add a bit of water to a sample of soil and test the ph of that. i would suggest getting some calmag for your peppers since heavy fruiting plants like that tend to use a whole bunch of the stuff and you end up with pale green wrinkly looking plants e: usually you will want your soil and nutrient solution in the 5.8-6.5 range in my experience but of course it varies Fart Puzzle fucked around with this message at 09:52 on Jun 26, 2016 |

Woodglue posted:That is definitely the invasive species known as honey suckle. It will turn your yard into a poo poo show. Mature plants will produce tiny red berries that birds will eat and spread like plague. It also spreads by sending shallow roots outward radially forming new root balls which make new sprouts ad infinitum. fffffff is this one safe? It says its native... and its purrty.... I really just love that jasmine smell I associate with japanese honey suckle and I think thats why I like jasmine tea... its just a scent of childhood. http://www.highcountrygardens.com/perennial-plants/lonicera-sempervirens-major-wheeler Looks like its happy in a pot so it shouldn't be able to go insane on me.

Bonus is you can put in dumb poo poo like for ing your neighbors to put up gigantic trump walls on their property which will piss them off and make everyone want the HOA to be gone. Then you can pretend to be the hero and destroy the dastardly HOA. This isn't a horrible idea. The assbags even outsourced the collection to a private company last year and surprise the yearly fees went up.

Once I take over the HOA I'll require carolina jasmine in all yards and no animals outside the house okay? also i love my kitty but hes not allowed outside because he's a retard and he would try to go hug the coyotes that live around here]

Maoist Pussy posted:You can walk on dimondia, poo poo is indestructible. my internet skills says its swell as long as you weed it until it takes hold. Also some alternatives: http://articles.latimes.com/2013/jan/23/news/la-lh-dymondia-and-three-other-lawn-alternatives-20130123 [edit] omg I want this one.. Tops out at 6-8 inches so you don't need to mow unless you give a poo poo. arex glauca. With fluffy, beautiful blades — a little narrower than Carex pansa and similar in color to dymondia — Carex glauca is another good choice. It spreads rapidly, and, if you accept blades that are 6 to 8 inches tall, it never needs mowing. The effect is akin to a meadow, with blades that are exceptionally soft to the touch. If you want Carex glauca to lie flat underfoot, simply mow it once per month. It produces seed heads, not flowers, so it attracts few bees. As a spreader, it does need edging or mulch to hold it to its territory. [bonus] it will eat all your neighbors grass over time and then the grass-mowing industrial complex will fail  [negative] your hoa won't allow it because its cheap and doesn't need watering.

gently caress cats and gently caress any rear end in a top hat shithead who lets their cat out FYI: acetaminophen will kill cats much quicker and much more humanely than antifreeze! Kill any and all stray/feral cats you encounter, you will be doing a service to your local environment!

will have to get info on the fert, soil but how do you check nitrogen? also we water them pretty infrequently maybe once or twice a week based on how the soil feels ? it is hard to tell if they are wilting due to too water issues or not but it has been in the 90 degree temps so that is affecting them too. could be a combo of both

Just don't leave it overnight in your room because you'll wake up unable to breathe with lungs full or spores or some junk.  It's not a good way to wake up in the middle of the night.

Protecting your property is your own right. I live in a small suburb too.
