one of my long term project plants I'd forgotten about decided to put forth some effort today.   

It's Derby Day! go horsey go!

a teaspoon of Southern AG Thuricide in a 1 gallon of water pressurized and sprayed should do the trick. should be safe without any waiting period, or so I hear. Can apply weekly if necessary till gone. check the company product info to make certain if that concerns you.   caterpillars will eat...

  about 6 or 7 I'd say. I'd have to count. I've got plenty extras if you want a spare or two or three. Not that cheap to ship and not sure how they'd do up north, but I've shipped plants before to people who've wanted them. heh. Just have to find a big enough box.    I think... my Goldfinger...

  If that's what it is,    I live in Florida and get powdery mildew occasionally. Happens in Florida Especially with vine type plants. Its our no. 3 public gardening enemy i.m.o. (no1. Whiteflies, no. 2 tobacco hornworm) What I think you actually want is some liquid copper fungicide.   ...

  it seems you solved your own problem. I see you took the plant outside and it set fruit.  interesting. I might have to experiment with that.   At the moment I have nothing in my hydroponic units. I have little grow space left outside, so anything I transplanted I would have to keep in hydro...

   Well I haven't had real issues with algae...yet. I get some residue of some kind in the clear tubes, but I changed the solution weekly also. I used to use black tubes for that reason, but I ran out and got lazy and didnt order more since I could buy clear tubing for dirt cheap at Wal Mart.  ...

  They are Aji Melocoton and Devil's Brain.    I transplanted them outside yesterday. I hope they make it. The leaves were starting to look a little shriveled so I took a chance and moved them. The previous plants I have transplanted outside have all done well, but the peppers might be the...
