Wow, spring is a busy time-seems we're having a semi-normal spring this year, too. No 80's in February, or 12" of rain in March; kinda nice. Got a new pepper plant this last friday, a red manzana-got it at Harmony Nursery in Sebastopol, and I read up on it. Another type of pepper, it is shaped more like an apple, as that is what manzana means in spanish. It has approximately the same heat as a habanero, but with more of a spice flavor to it-also has black seeds. Fertilized today, and applied more baskets of fertilizer cakes to the trees in the back. Will be trying to add older fertilizer cakes to the tubs the peppers are in, and see how they handle it. Should be fine. The ahbanero seedlings I had grown from seed didn't fare so well, as we've had a few nights in the low 40's. I had attempted to harden them off too early, evidently, but bought a six pack of them at Harmony when I got the Manzana. Organic plants as well. Thats it for now, off to water.
