Greetings. I’m hoping the gardening season continues to treat you well. Here at the garden/nursery some things are wrapping up, like tomato season. We have a few tomatoes still on really raggedy and blighted plants, and probably once those ripen that will be it for the year as far as tomatoes go. Peppers are stillContinue reading “Weekly Garden/Nursery Update September 17th and What can you do with a ton of peppers?”

¿Qué hacer con una abundancia de ajíes?
Este año tenemos el maravilloso problema de tener demasiados ajíes. ¡Sí, yo sé, pobre nosotros! Pero, los he cultivado de semilla, he cuidado las plantas, y quiero utilizarlos bien. He dado unos ajíes a familia, vecinos, y amigos, pero, la mayoría de ellos tienen sus propias plantas que obtuvieron de nuestro vivero, así que tienenContinue reading “¿Qué hacer con una abundancia de ajíes?”
Nursery/Garden Update Sept 3rd
This is my favorite time of year. No, not because of pumpkin spice, but yes because of spice. We’ve been rolling in peppers! I’ve been runny nosed and teary eyed at every meal, not because of Covid or anything like that, but rather from habaneros, jalapenos, thai dragons, and all kinds of spicy treats. MyContinue reading “Nursery/Garden Update Sept 3rd”
Nursery/Garden Update August 6, 2021

Peppers (and tomatoes and eggplants) can be pruned to become more bushy and less upright. Some growers say this increases yield. I don’t disagree orContinue reading “Pepper Pruning”
Nursery/Garden Update end of June 2021
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted an update. We’ve been really busy, and were just out of town for a little while too. We just got back from vacation (more about vacation later), and a lot is happening in the garden. It seems everything took off in the garden when we were gone. Continue reading “Nursery/Garden Update end of June 2021”
Local Business Spotlight – Chapon’s Greenhouse
We didn’t propagate any annual ornamentals this year, and actually, short of sunflowers and marigolds we rarely ever do. But no need to fret, in the South Hills of Pittsburgh we are blessed with an abundance of excellent local nurseries to choose from. Last year I got my flowers from the incredible Martin’s Flowers andContinue reading “Local Business Spotlight – Chapon’s Greenhouse”
