Very cool  :clap:   I had one plant in particular getting rocked by them this year, got pissed while cutting the grass one day and just full throttled the leaf blower at the pepper plant... took a few hours for the plant to pick itself back up but damn if it wasn't effective. Blew those mother...

Thanks guys!  ;)  I am not exactly raking in the peppers this season and this was a good pick so I feel VERY relieved that all is well. :dance:   Nice spot on them being MOA Scotch Bonnets... sure enough the peppers showing these bumps are the MOA yellow and reds. Sure been a tough grow year so...

Starting to notice more and more peppers ripening with these stiff spikes/bumps/ridges. Seem to be coming from one side of the raised beds in particular.  Anybody have a clue as to what is causing this?  Thanks, Tom.     

Tornado came within 10 miles of here last night... thank goodness it pulled up as it was staring us down. Watching the horizon during lightning strikes quickly changes ones perspective from simply garden problems. 5" of rain already today with several more expected. Horrible wind during a...

Agreed!!! Hope I don't have to throw in the towel but every thing that can go wrong is going wrong this season... had a bad bad storm last night that leveled the garlic and the peppers. Unfortunately the wind was so strong it not only uprooted the peppers but quite literally ripped the roots in...

Haha  :P   After putting that sluggo plus down I have gone from seeing hundreds of pill bugs to not seeing a single pill bug so that shit works.  Unfortunately I haven't really seen anything moving in the beds lately so I might have wiped everything out good and bad.  :neutral:   Sure am ready...

LoL :) I left the beer traps out for 24 hours... this is what I caught... Roaches... :shocked: The lady at the nursery gave me a shipping damaged can of sluggo plus (iron phosphate) to put down. After yet another inch of rain yesterday afternoon I put it down and almost immediately the roly...

Went out at 5am before the storms this morning... board trap, sticky trap, and beer trap had nada except a drunken roach.   :beer:  I did have the beer trap setup to see if slugs were around however (ala raised slightly above ground level)   What I did see though was a small fleet of roly-poly's...

My lady at the nursery shared similar knowledge to yours about my roly poly(woodlice :)). She had me set a couple things out to see if we could further decide what was eating them. One of which was a beer trap, we shall see.. Hopefully the lady bug larvae I have been seeing stay out of it...

  Good to hear the hail missed you! No hail here but another heavy downpour... Another start to the year that has been way too wet for the peppers anyway.  Don't think my beds have been 'dry' since planting out...   My plants are looking a tad beat.  Too much rain, that 40 degree low run a week...

  :(  Man I'm sorry robbyjoe! Hate to see that  :cry:  Wish I had extra plants this year to pass along to you but of course this is the year I only setup one bay for seedlings.  :doh:      We were lucky up here and missed the really bad stuff by about 15 miles or so. I planted out to the beds...

  Thanks :)  This years peppers, Mid-Feb sow.  Garlic was planted early October. 

  Ain't that the truth.  :shocked:  Damn work always getting in the way of my hobbies...  :banghead:       Started raining here last night as well, only had about .6 inches in the rain gauge this morning but hopefully we end up closer to an inch total today.  This gentle and steady rain is...

Jamaican Mushroom!  :dance:

  Just saw this after I posted above... sorry to hear  :neutral:     :dance: 107  :party:
