My Pepper Garden

During the lockdown and subsequent months I designed many different types of gardens, from regular raised beds to wild dome-encased aquaponics setups. My friend’s family was gracious enough to let me execute one of my designs on their property. I am writing this portfolio piece post-harvest and winterization.

This is the first garden I have ever made by myself (I did have help carrying the raised bed frames to their spots), a genesis garden of sorts. My plans for next year are to double or triple the crop count, switch to some more edible peppers (hot sauce seems hard to sell), and experiment with some vertical gardening in a 1V geodesic dome greenhouse.

Here are some of the harvest pictures, and a few that were taken right before being picked! These are all Scotch Bonnet and Scotch Brain peppers bought from White Hot Peppers. They are really no joke. Hottest pepper I’ve ever eaten.
