ok i think it's possibly a cutworm, i can't find it/them but had a look at damage they make online and looks very similar, so yesterday i crushed up some egg shells and mixed in some cornmeal and put it around the base of each of the affected plants (didn't have enough to do all my plants) and...

so my shadow beast turned 2 earlier this month, he spent most of his birthday sleeping, here he is not too impressed that i woke him up for a birthday selfie lol   and here he is with our newest rescue puppy, she is always with him or curled up next to him <3

still can't catch the blighter in action :( and this is how my naga hybrid and scotch bonnet are looking today even though i sprayed them with canna cure yesterday :( also pics of the poop on 2 of the other plants, i thought this was bird poop but just in case it isn't??  

I'm not sure it would be slugs as never seen a slug here in South east spain, we don't really have the climate for them, a friend has said maybe locusts :( though I think Scorched might be on to something with the night feeding as i've checked 3x rough the day and no sign of anything, will brave...

will try the beer trap tonight thanks, though will more than likely have drunk cockroaches in it by the morning (hazards of living in spain!) and get some netting tomorrow, any chance birds could do this? i have noticed sparrows near the plants although they could be praying on whatever is...

Some nasty pest is going to town on my chilli plants, and i could honestly cry :tear:   does anyone have an idea what might be doing this? this is my dorset naga x habanero hybrid, but it's not the only plant affected, my scotch bonnet has been eaten to this state and whatever it is has now...

They are outside, i only water every 2-3 days, i use a tomato feed in the water but not every time i water and the night temp is fine but maybe the day temp is getting too high we're getting between 86 - 100, each day varies at the moment but next month will def be over 95 and maybe i've been...

Hi all,   i know it's common for a new plant to drop a few flowers (stem and all) but i'm losing a lot of flowers :( so am wondering if i'm i'm getting my PH levels right, does between 6 - 6.5 sound right for the water i water them with? also if i add nutrients does this change the PH and should...

Hi guys - need your expertise again please?   I think i have spider mite on my basket of fire which is currently flowering :( but also noticed one of the leaves all curly looking, what would have caused this? mite? i have pulled the leaf off as looked like it had a load of mite on it anyway  

Look what greeted me this morning  :)  

it was store bought, in Spain you only tend to get veg/fruit when it's in season, i've put a couple of the seeds into a seed tray so will see what happens...

brilliant thanks  :dance:

Hey guys - quick question,   i've just de-seeded a chilli for a marinade and wondering if i can just put those seeds straight into soil? will they grow?   Thx

Thanks Essegi - it's quite exciting growing chills hey   The basket of fire isn't a very hot chilli i think it's like medium - hot and not a very big plant either but is rumoured to produce 200 pods per plant, can't see that myself on my plant but hey you never know, i can hope :)

5 days later here's how they are looking now since i re-potted them, i've also starting feeding them which i wasn't doing before and probably should have been   The Scotch Bonnet Twins   Cayenne   Basket of Fire (with leaves removed that had that pest in them)

awww so cute, i would love to have cats but even after 13yrs of asking the hubby won't budge on the matter

right i'm too impatient for the baggy method so am gonna do what you guys have said and put them into soil tomorrow...

i don't have all the technical stuff like grow lights and other gizmos, i've got sunshine and sunshine heat :)

can't eat garlic as i'm intolerant to it, not much fun trying to eat out in Spain i can tell you! but shall look into which B vitamin it is, i'm up for trying everything, managed to find a health store today and bought a big bottle of neem oil so going to use that as well as vanilla and see how...

right so 24hrs is too soon to see any sign of life then lol  :P   i've got them on top of my fridge and it's not too cool in the house so fingers crossed they'll pop in a few days.   my first chilli's i just threw the seeds in soil and waited, but some didn't germinate and some popped but the...
