Today we helped Pherm Brewery cut up the peppers we brought them for their beer! They let us try some of the beer they made with the hops we brought them as we worked! It's called the Hopped Up Urban Pharmer! On tap now at Pherm! The pepper beer will be on tap in about 3 weeks, called the Spicy Urban Pharmer!
Peppers and Tomatoes in the High Tunnel
A New year means more crops in the high tunnel. Unlike last year, this year we did not plant any herbs. We focused on planting peppers and tomatoes. We have 5 rows of plants total with Cherry tomatoes in each corner of the high tunnel and 3 rows of jalapenos in the middle. We also have Poblano, Banana, and Lunch Box Mix peppers in pockets throughout the rows. Dave and Brian tilled the high tunnel in early April and about a month later in May, we got our plants. We decided to go with transplants since they have the highest chance of succes. We have had to put out serveral hay bales and have needed to weed several times but over the course of these several weeks the high tunnel has been slowly growing with our first harvest of peppers on July 7th. All of the peppers are at hip height and producing vegetables quite nicely. We should be getting even more produce soon. Here is a collection of photos to show off our progress.
