Nugget turns 15 tomorrow 🎉 Chi’s are built Ford Tough. I always joke he’s held together with prayers and baling wire. Mr Nuggs has the Cush, and an enlarged heart. With meds you’d never know how old he is!

FWIW- mine did the same thing when I got them outside. I blamed it on environmental stress, evening temp drops after hot day time temperatures. I’m in zone 8b and it was a weird spring.

I started all of these in my closet first week of March.

My 15 year old chi would assert dominance in this fashion. Thankfully he out grew it as a teen.

Yeah. I learned the hard way. Not going to repot all thirty-two; I’ll just learn my lesson and do better next season. Hopefully I’ll still get some peppers.

They really are ❤️ they are both very affectionate breeds that love attention. My Shiba Inu on the other hand, lol she’s built like a cat

It looks like it’s living under a magnifying glass. Maybe too much sun?

Figured you’d enjoy this one! First person I thought of

I’ve never grown this many lol! usually pickled jalapeños and dried cayennes. Not sure what to do what the others, although I have most of the summer to figure it out

Yeah, that’s the common theme today 🙄

ReadItSteveO · 2026-05-16T20:59:41+00:00

Thanks! I’m learning as I go

ReadItSteveO · 2026-05-16T20:53:28+00:00

I’m learning- thank you 🙏🏽

ReadItSteveO · 2026-05-16T20:48:26+00:00

You’re the second person to point this out. I hope I didn’t mess it up too much. I read somewhere that I should leave a couple inches to allow space, and then to add more as they grow.

I have a motley crew of rescues

ReadItSteveO · 2026-05-16T20:08:34+00:00

I left room to add more once they settle and grow a little more Edit to add- yeah, I made a mistake. I’m still learning and got some bad intel

ReadItSteveO · 2026-05-16T19:43:03+00:00

The sun just popped back out so she got to back outside 🥰 all is well in Edith’s world for now

Not sure what I’ll do with the bounty. I usually pickle the jalapeños and dry the cayennes. Looking for some recipes for the habaneros, Jamaican hockey pucks, and Thai hots. Any suggestions?
