multiple chinense species for me within 6 days this year - my fastest germination's :)

Perfectly shaped pod and its heavy. I will deffo be using this for my seed crop.

The first one is henbane, the other is a wild "naturalised" Physalis species.

  I could easily just collect ladybirds from the local parks. However the problem is confined to a very dry and hot conservatory that see's minimum ventilation, only spiders & aphids/whitefly seem to thrive in there. I don't want to release ladybirds into an environment that would kill them...

  No heat or flavour difference for me either.. :-)    Very strange, did you try eating one? Hot, tasty?  :P  kids will be kids  :mouthonfire:

Has anybody tried using sulfur as a treatment against aphids, and if so how effective was it?

aye very bizarre for my 3rd year red savina..     very strange shaped pods its started to grow lol

Great shot & a beautiful flower. I saw this today growing at the park near to home. I'm sure I threw a few seeds in the flower bed 5 years ago, but nothing grew, until now :-) (Henbane) And also there was loads if this growing on old scrub land about a mile from the nearest houses. They...

Thanks :) But what is wrong with holding them bare handed?

Left on the plant a little longer, and these yellow 7's ended up going a nice golden yellow   :P  

Black rotten seeds without any obvious critter involvement is likely to be internal BER. Poor and infrequent watering habits are a common cause of BER.

all my peppers are grown next to each other :D   I simply don't have the room to keep them separate so...    They look like yellow 7's to me.

I'm pretty sure Phytophthora can be ruled out - Absolutely no wilting, and never has been, also it effects the outer most ends of branches rather then main stem.   Also there is absolutely no effect to the fruiting pods, though some of the pod stems do have lesions on them.   However i am drawn...
