5000 Pepper plants w/3130 MANY PICs!

[billj74]

The 1st day we put in 3800 assorted bell peppers with the transplanter. The next day we put in 1200 hots, thai, cherry bomb, habenero, etc. We also used the mulch layer to put in the plastic and trickle tape irrigation. The 3130 worked like a champ!! So much better than the old Ford 2000 we had.

This pic is some of the peppers.

Another shot of the field. My battery died before I could get any pics of the plants in the ground. They are doing very good!! We did this on an overcast cool day, perfect for planting. They didnt go into shock at all. If we could just get some rain!!! We are 5 inches below normal here in Southern Illinois. Looks like its going to be a long, hot, dry, summer.
