Indeed I do; Bridgeport, McMenamins, and Rogue Ales were my favorites. I miss stouts and IPA's the most. :beer: Humidity; unrelenting humidity, combined with soil wetness damages the roots beyond healing, IMO.

Hey Potawie; nobody had responded and I didn't know, having never grown them. Cheers.

Have you considered google? Rarely do I not find the information I'm looking for. I don't know and judging by the lack of response; neither does anyone else. Good luck and please post your information.

As an ex-Oregonian (Portland/Astoria) I can attest to that. Good one and exactly what the chili doctor ordered. :beer:

Here in LOS almost all Mango trees are from cuttings or grafts.

Last rainy season here in Thailand devastated my potted plants; and a good deal of the country. My "in the ground" plants survived. This year I'll build a frame and cover with plastic to keep the rain off the plants in pots.

Rota, MP; where is that? Good thing you know how, yes?

I find this a disturbing statement. IME, spider-mites can decimate a plant quite quickly if left unchecked. It's very difficult to "over react" when a simple high pressure spray of water (from a hand spayer) will kill them. They're a very soft bodied mite so water works well. If it's a recurring...

Just make sure it's not a spider mite = spider-mite bad. But real arachnids are just grand... :beer:

Geez Srin, bummer! Sorry to see that. Does your family know how to care for the plants? The evidence would indicate no. Maybe time for some lessons, no? Cheers and good luck. :)

Wow! Late to the party, I know, but those are just gorgeous Potawie.

+1 Recently I lost 9 pods off of 4 Costa Rican Red Hababero plants. Spots, rotten spots and where the stem holds the pods was turning dark as well. A healthy dose of bone meal stopped it within 4 days. Two weeks now and not one more pod has dropped and they are flawless in appearance. Calcium is...

You might try some Chitosan (google it); it's organic and a product of crab and shrimp shells. I've been using it for about a month now and so far so good. It's specifically for bad bacteria and nematodes and supposed to stimulate the good bacterias, etc. Can't hurt, Cheers.

+1 Can we dispense with the commercialism? :mad:

I moved here from Oregon just over 8 years ago; my friends there (Portland area) haven't had much success either. Too cold and rainy and then a short burst of heat and summer's over. Have you considered a greenhouse?

As you know my organic measures didn't work, so I went for Malathion; the least worst non-organic insecticide. It works, but my worst problem has been soil borne diseases. Still battling that with Chitosan concentrate once a week in the soil. Cheers.

I've got a 5 tray German Brand dehydrator; on it's lowest setting the pods retain their color and the seeds taken from the dried pods sprout just fine; 90+% so far (orange & red Habs).

+1 My thoughts exactly; it will be a "hot" sauce but not identifiable as a Habanero hot sauce. Base (pumpkin, carrot, or fruit), Habaneros, garlic, vinegar, salt, etc. KISS is always best, IMHO. Cheers. :beer:
