It's pests and you need to get used to dealing with them. There are a abundance of them here in Thailand. Get a cheap USB microscope from lazada or aliexpress and you will see them. Start spraying every 3rd day for a while and use something better than woodvineger. Or try sulphur dust...

Do they come of easy when ripe? If they do, a blueberry picker/scoop might work good and make life alot easier

Not much to show but feel like i need to keep the thread alive. Will be at the farm tomorrow so will take a bunch of pics for you guys then. I haven't really had much time for the peppers because of everything that happend, but atleast everything about the accident is settled now and we can...

I was suppose to do a update the other day and show some other parts of the farm since I've almost cut down all of the weeds. However after the gas ran out on the cutter and i went back to the cabin i found our little minpin dead and still being attacked by a stray dog. And it didn't stop...

Aji Limo, gonna have another harvest in 2 days I think The mystery plant, it really grinds my gear.. Some pods a very bumpy like a yellow brainstrain and some are more smooth and have a bonnet shape.

Not much happening right now! The seedlings are coming along.. Slowly.. Think i need to tweak my seedling mix a bit. Maybe less char and more ricehulls for more air in the mix. Alot of rain and storm coming in so haven't gotten the opportunity to till and amend the in ground plot...

Ser godt ut!

Small update The Aji limo's ripening started out slow, one or two pepper per day. But three days ago it finally got going and there will be a good harvest next week. Left one for 10 days to see if would be diffrent to the disappointing one i ate some week ago and yes indeed they need to stay on...

Pad krapao gai(stir fried holybasil and chicken) with a fried egg, soysauce with chopped bird's-eyes and a Aji Limo as a chaser

So we had 35 hours heavy rain . Regret that I didnt take the seedlings to the greenhouse at the farm. The seedling rack do have some roof over it but the wind brings it in under. Lost 2 jays red ghost and a concho that dampened off. Also forget to take in a propagation box sitting on the lower...

It flows year around, but the trees do need to rest after being tapped for a long time so usually they don't tap all trees at once so they can swift between atleast two groups of trees. Also they can't be tapped if it rains the night before. I only have 2-3 months before the peppers will be...

Too little right now. Corruption in higher places has pressed down the prices by 75% the past 5 years. In this province it goes for 30-35 baht per kg. That is around 1 dollar. In some other provinces it sells for 18-25 baht so under a dollar for a kg.

Slept at the farm last night so i could start working early today, rain started pooring late morning as i just finished staking/marking out the raised bed spots. Had to hurry and help the mother and sister in law with collecting the rubber sap before it became too diluted. We got around 30-40...

I intended to hold off and wait to start picking pods until next week but snatched one that turned last night anyway. I don't know, the flavour and heat was a bit off. About same level heat as a Thai pepper but in the chinense way. Will let the others sit a week and hopefully they will be better.

First post-move wave of Aji limo's started to ripen last night. Sadly since yesterday i have picked around 10 immature pods because of pepper fly's or weevils. The mystery plant have started to produce pods aswell, looks like it might be a bonnet? The kitchen plant have been putting out...
