Anything chewing on the leaves is potentially bad if left unchecked. The soap mix is one of the most common suggested remedies, but you might want to search the forum for mix ratios. Too strong of a mix could potentially burn the plant or mess with the waxy protective surface of the leaves...

That sounds really good. Spicy liver and onions, but I'm afraid were on the verge of digressing from the topic at hand. So, another question. Since I'm keeping them in the same pots over winter, how often would I need to change out the soil? once a year, every two years, or is it even needed...

I would stick to just the veggies. Unless she's into that. In which case rock on and careful who's listening.

I got the seeds for these from a friend. All he really knew was that his wife brought them with her from the family plot in Vietnam when she moved to the states. They may be something common to Vietnam or it may be an unnamed family heirloom. I'm no expert, this is my first year growing. So...

Yeah I plucked my first ripe habanero and mystery peppers. I still don't have anymore habs starting to turn, but the first set about two weeks prior to the rest. However, that first mystery started a cascade. I've got about a half dozen turning and think the rest will be close behind...

I hate almost everything in my garden other than the peppers and tomatoes. The rest I grow for her. The occasional chocalot covered sweet from the garden goes a long way too. Think strawberries. You grow enough for her. Yours become incidental to her. If she starts to complain about the...
