I had some neem left so I sprayed the infected plants. The earlier aphids were much smaller, I could barely identify the individual bugs and the infected my plants much quicker. Didn't take photos of them unfortunately.
Now I just hope the lady bugs return to feast on any remaining aphids.
Thanks to the exceptional weather over here in the Netherlands my plants are doing really well this year. I even have some ladybugs visiting to take care of the aphids that plagued me last year.
But now I am seeing some green bugs gathering on my plants and I wonder if they are harmful and if...
Do you really plan to move the plants back inside next week? I'm also in the Netherlands, but I don't really have the space to move them back in. Minimum temperatures of 5 degrees (probably even less cold in the city) should be survivable.
At my local supermarkets I can get Cayennes, Jalapenos, Rawit, Lombok, Mdme Jeanettes and red habaneros.
This is amazing recent development considering only a year ago only cayennes were available.
Carolina reapers from a large local producer cost 25 euro per kg. That would be roughly 13 USD per pound.
Same supplier also has Trinidad scorpions for 17,50 per kg. Which would be around 9 USD per pound.
