    Varmint Pepper Squatter

    Ok, so when I got home I thought I'd check to see if this varmint had any friends hanging around. Well, low and behold there was one, on the other Thai plant. This time I got a better camera to get a photo. Any idea on what this thing is/could be? From what I can tell it bores into the hull of...

    Varmint Pepper Squatter

    Haha, I ended up taking the pepper to work with me so I could excavate the bugger from the pepper and get a closer look. So he's about 45 miles away from where he started at this morning. Good luck trying to spread his filth to other peppers on my plant now!!

    Varmint Pepper Squatter

    My Thai peppers have been coming off pretty regularly but when I went out to see what was ready for pickin' this morning I found this guy squirming his way out of one of the peppers. Any idea to what kinda varmint he is? Looks to me like a small caterpillar or inch worm. Wondering if I should...

    Trying to get a successful balcony garden going

    The big black ones are 7 gal, the others are 4 gal and 2 gal containers. I'm working on getting those transplanted into the black 7 gal containers.

    Trying to get a successful balcony garden going

    A few more to add... Scotch Bonnets, took forever to get these guys to germinate and show hooks... slow growing since then Another smaller Bhut Jolokia and my Bolivian Rainbow backup seedlings And of course a few tomato plants (Black Krim, Husky Cherry and Bloody Butcher)

    Trying to get a successful balcony garden going

    I've read a ton of the posts on here following along and greatly admiring nearly all of the peppers/gardens I've seen on here. Hopefully I'll get to that level someday! The very few posts I've put on here were about a Bolivian Rainbow I was having trouble with... nonetheless he bit the dust but...

    health Wilting leaves with black spots

    Ok, I feel disgusted to even show how bad this plant is but here is a comparison photo. On the left is obviously the sickly fellow and on the right is a backup plant that I seeded 2 months after the sickly one. Such a difference between the two and I'm amazed at how the "replacement" has the...

    health Wilting leaves with black spots

    About once a week on average I guess. It does seem like this pot is retaining more water than the rest of them. All of the others except this one and one other are doing sooo much better. I was hoping he'd bounce back after a few days but it seems he's quickly going down the drain. I just took...

    health Wilting leaves with black spots

    For anyone that's curious, I did a soil test on this plant yesterday and the results were interesting. I don't know how reliable this home soil test was but according to their scale I have a lot of surplus of Nitrogen and Phosphorus in the soil. Potash tested ok and the PH was good. I've read a...

    health Wilting leaves with black spots

    I gave this guy a good spraying yesterday afternoon with some insecticidal neem oil spray and as a precautionary measure some disease control too. The only change I can see in the leaves is that they now seem to be more of a black/charcoal color than green and all the individual black spots are...

    health Wilting leaves with black spots

    I'm not sure what has caused this problem. Initially I thought it had gotten too much sun but now after 2 days of being in indirect sunlight it is looking a little worse than before. I also noticed small black spots all over the uppermost leaves. I almost hate to admit this but it's what I had...

    Spotted and Yellowing leaves

    Thanks for the quick reply Avon. I'll pick some CalMag up and cut out anything else for awhile. Hopefully I can get this guy into better health. It's just strange to me that this one plant, out of about 15, is the only one looking like this. I used the same medium for all of them and others are...

    Spotted and Yellowing leaves

    Hello all! As I'm new to this forum I hope to gain insight and knowledge from fellow pepper gardener's. The issue I'm having is with yellow spots and yellowing leaves. To give background on the plant, I started it from seed early in the year and transplanted to a container using a mix of Miracle...
