Chilies 2022

I have about six of them down the allotment, they were left by the previous plot holder. Very handy things, I think mine hold about 65 litres, so 15 gallons or so

 

Sadly, the white fly decimated my super hots. I've cut them off at the the soil level and will sanitize the soil and pots once they have completely dried out.

The Shiney hybrids came through the battle and since they are in a different greenhouse, they didn't get reintroduced to the little white #^/_&;&*!!!.

Recycle bins. I have extra green wheelie bins to hold all of my small items tnat would normally be stored in a shed.

 

One of my locotos has died, or at least all the leaves have fallen off. Any ideas why that might happen? The rest are fine

 

The stem is fine, the leaves turned pale green then fell off. No bugs that I can see. I was wondering if someone was using weed killer nearby, but nothing else close by seems to be affected. Still if those chillis ripen then I won't be too bothered

 

It's on its own on the corner of a bed by some spring onions, no other nightshade plants near by. The compost in the pot was the cheapest one I bought, but it has been fine for a couple of months so I don't think it is that. You are right it has cropped well, already taken about ten ripe peppers from it. Small pot too, maybe 3 litres

 

Earlier in the year I had white fly attack my chillies/pepper plants, I sprayed them with a mix of water and washing up liquid for a few days and the white fly were gone. Over the coming weeks some of the leaves were clearly dying and I nipped them off and new leaves started to appear, then flowers too, I now have healthy plants, good crops(that don't taste of Fairy), if you look at my videos on the "greenhouse growing" section you will see the plants and fruits. Hope his helps.

 

Never really had a hot "Hot Wax", I eat them at all colours and haven't really noticed any difference if I think about it. I tend to have them sliced on a french bread pizza of in soups or chillies with pasta, so perhaps I've not experienced the real kick as I've cooked them.

 

Hello all,

Busy day. Harvested 5kg of tomatoes and a fair selection of chilis. The freezer is full and so it was time to put the new dehydrater into action as I didn't want to give them all away.


Background: 8 trays if tomatoes in dehydrator.
Foreground: Mixed bowls of chilis and Sweet Peppers.

Regards
