re: It's almost garden time boys!

Me and my 4 year old planted 2 tomatoes in pots, 1 cherry and 1 grape. One of the pots I used previously held a 2 year old Thai dragon pepper (I think?) until it froze this winter. Didn't really think a thing of it, pulled out the old pepper, turned over the soil, planted tomato.

I saved some of the old peppers this winter and I recently put some of the pepper seeds in a different small pot to sprout. They are coming up good, then this weekend noticed many of same looking sprouts (leaves) coming up in the pot with my tomato.

Makes sense, pepper was in there before and lots of peppers fell off in the soil.

Sorry this is lengthy, but all that leading to my question.... If these are a bunch of pepper plants coming up from residual seeds in that pot, can I expect spicier than usual cherry tomatoes?

Also, if any of you want a Thai Dragon Pepper plant, I'm pretty sure I have a ton These things are bullets, high yield, make me sweat when eating and are as hot as any pepper I would want to eat with food.

too much foliage promotes fungal disease.

Only if it contacts the ground. Good foliage is needed for shade to prevent sun scorch.

I put down a bunch of 13 13 13 yesterday.

Hopefully it will be over the whole yard

I had it aerated last Friday.

I watered it last night after applying it to make it stick. So, I should be ok but that was a lot of rain.

Will need to add calcium after this rain to prevent blossom rot.

Should be ok as long as it drains well. If it stays soaked, then you might have a problem. But it ain't a bad idea to add some just in case. I'm gonna go throw out some bone meal when I get home.

I put cheap powdered milk in the bottom of each hole for calcium.

So how bad would I have been lit up if I grabbed this bastard? And should I spray the area with a little fire to protect the fresh veggie plantings?

Was pulling a few weeds, and was going in hands first
