Lots more pics on the blog.

Just finished up doing some root pruning to open it up a bit more.  Its really starting to look good now.

Its looking even better after I cleaned it up a bit.

Cool projects you have! That makes me also want to try a bonchi! Keep on doing the good job! 

Then get out there and do it!
Peppers are easy to work with, and damned hard to actually kill.  Take risks, do weird stuff, have fun with them!

Big update time, its officially spring and past the point where we're going to get any potential frosts.  Time to plant everything out!

I had a nice big dragonfruit for a few years that I started from a cutting, but it freezes here during the winter so had to keep bringing it inside.  Got to the point where it was just too damned big and heavy to keep moving, so I let it freeze and kept the smaller one I had started from seed.

Oh, and make sure whatever it climbs on has good support.  Dragonfruit do not have deep roots, and if your support falls over, it'll take the entire plant with it.

Tip for your dragonfruit, give it something to climb if you want it to make fruit.

They won't fruit until the overall mass of the plant is about 10lbs/5kg, so you'll need a large plant.  Bigger the plant gets, the more it needs to climb, like a grape vine.

Easiest way to get it to do that is to buy a pole of some kind, and wrap it nice and thick with burlap.

Hmmm... one of the NuMex Halloween peppers has come out *VERY* different from it's sisters.

First warm day of spring, everybody is going outside for a field trip!

Grow box is finished, and I even added a small hydroponic kit to my seed starting.

Whew, just got the grow box I've been building for the peppers about 80% finished!

Now I can get a serious head start on growing my project pepper!

Man, with all the effort going into just the container for this thing, I should see if there are any contests I could enter it in around here.  Even if the bonchi fails miserably, I'm still going to have a kick-ass container!

I'm going to be doing a full on roots over rock bonchi using a life sized replica resin skull, and the hottest pepper known to man, the Carolina Reaper.

I've decided to document everything that goes into it from start to finish using a blog, in case anyone wants to read along.

(Note: I'm in the Northern hemisphere, so its currently the beginning of winter.  Will be a while before it gets to having an actual plant being grown, but I'm working on things like concepts and containers now.)

Yeah, I take my flowers off until they get bushy enough to support pod production (and I do let mine set pods when they're big enough).
