I've successfully treated dampening off with a direct shot of unadulterated 3% hydrogen peroxide. Then you have to figure out how you're going to deal with a hole in the side of your stalk. A couple weeks ago I treated a tomato seedling that was damped off just below the soil line, I didn't...

Hey Melissa, That's a pretty incredible garden you've got going! I just read all 9 pages of this thing, I was planning on suggesting you set up shop at a farmers market, glad you had the same idea :) I was wondering with your larger plants, are those overwinters? Or did you start those...

I'm growing some purple tomatillos this year too. I put them outside and they IMMEDIATELY get gobbled by some critter. I had them on top of a plastic filing cabinet in the driveway about 4.5 feet off the ground with a bunch of tomatos, and whatever creatures got them honed in on the tomatillos...

I'm letting my little plants flower now too to get an early batch of peppers. I'm sure it will stunt their growth and as a result probably reduce my overall yield for the year, but I'd rather have a few up front and a moderate amount later in the year than none in the near future and a ton in...

The Windy City is windy? Who woulda thunk it... :rofl: Sorry I couldn't resist making a joke. Good luck with the growing and hopefully in the long run the wind makes the plants stronger and capable of supporting more fruit. :dance:

Well bad news...the mail man just came by and the seed train did not arrive despite the projected delivery today. Unless USPS uses secondary delivery persons to make delivery of packages, I guess I'll see it on Monday.

So you just "like" their facebook page and then email them asking for an Xtreme care package? If their still doing it I would love to get in on this.

I talked to them today about my tomato. Nice lady, tried to help trouble shoot, mostly gave me advice I already knew. She says that they get sprayed with daconil while in the greenhouse and that it should protect the plants for 8 days at the retailer, but that's generally where they pick things...

If you do decide to use the Bonide, if you can buy the concentrate, mix it and use your own sprayer. I could only find the spray bottle, and the sprayer is terrible. It's like a water gun, it shoots a very direct burst...it shoots too much, too hard, in too small an area. I ended up using about...

Sounds good! I be looking for it, I don't want to keep Dennis waiting. Don't want to give the poor guy ulcers :P

Looks good Dennis! This "storm" is turning out to be a really doozy huh? Did you find out from the arborateum that their Trinidad Scoprion peppers are Butch T.'s? I asked if they knew what strain they were when I bought mine at the Tomato and Pepper sale a while back and they people I talked...

Denniz don't worry man...I think the seeds will still be fine if they get here on Monday :P

Thanks for the input guys. Guru, your mix sounds superb but with so many ingredients it may be a little beyond me at this point. I don't know of any decent garden supply centers in this area so getting all the goodies would probably be time consuming and expensive. I've been a couple of places...

Hey guys, I recently purchased a 3.8cu bale of Premier brand peat, and I want to make a mix with it. (I wanted Promix but I'd have to drive quite a ways to get it, and the advertisement for Promix on the bag taunts me every time I look at it.) Anyhow, I'm going to grab a 2cu bag of perlite to...

I removed #3's helmet a couple days ago, but there had been minimal if any progress in either seedling. I decided to replant in plain peat, in case they were being overferted by the miracle grow moisture control. Interestingly enough, I discovered #1 had somehow grown backwards...or the root...

One of those came in my window a couple of days ago and parked itself next to my pepper seedlings. I wasn't too concerned since it pretty obviously came in the window.

I'm not sure it will stop pigs and turkeys, but there is a product called something like "Liquid Fence" that is produced from lion urine that supposedly scares most animals away. You could look into it. And, of course, assuming Korean law is amenable, you have access to firearms, and have the...

Looking good. When do the f2's get planted?

I've got a small scale infestation myself. I've been manually removing and crushing them whenever I can find them, but I have been considering a more effective solution. Anyone try mantises? I think they work similarly to the lady bugs with the added bonus that they cant fly away.

I've always done top watering, and my method up till now was to water UNTIL it ran out the bottom of the pot...so there was no question that the bottom of the soil was getting watered. These peppers don't like it as wet as other things I've grown though, so I've been backing off and watering...
