Plants are looking good WM. Plenty of hot, humid weather for you too I presume. And yes, scorpions are all business. I planted some seeds. One had a little pulp attached. So of course, I rehydrated it and tasted it. Holy cow, that is no joke. Very fast and intense heat on the tongue. Like...

Plants are looking good.

I've found it's hit and miss with nurseries. You get some that dont want to part with any used pots. Then you have others that are more than happy to let you take a truckload full. I went to a nursery and a landscape contractor was unloading a couple hundred used pots, which I assume the nursery...

Definitely not a couple weeks, so no better time than the present. Looks like it is in a 4 inch azalea pot. Throw it into a one gallon pot for awhile.

I asked AJ and he said he uses it for the first 30 days or so. I got the 4 oz bottle at Lowes for about 11 bucks. It's so concentrated, I think I have enough for the next decade.

Dont broad mites just shrivel up the leaves? With those spots, I say bacterial/fungal, especially after huge rains. (Standing water in the pot, beads of water resting on the leaves, splashed up soil on the leaves.) Separate plant, put in a sunny spot with air circulation, remove top inch of soil...

Probably started from standing water on the leaves and moisture in the soil. Key is to stop the spread. I would remove the leaf, place the plant in full sun with good air circulation, get the soil dried out. If in a container, I'd also move the plant away from others and replace the top inch of...

I started using it at 1/4 tsp per gallon when my Bhut seedlings were about 10 days out of the dirt and had full seed leaves. This is my fourth and final week of using it. (Thanks AJ for the advice). So far I have the deepest greens I've ever had on peppers and they all look great. I dont see the...

I'll throw in the first vote for a bacterial leaf spot. The it has the "shotgun" look of dark dead tissue surrounded by yellow halos.

Wow, that will be some project, but I've seen worse plants come back. It's probably in some kind of messy, waterlogged, over fertilized soil. Get it into some nice potting mix and make sure it gets plenty of drainage.

Geez, that's quite the forest you have going there. Very impressive. Just curious- what direction is that fence in relation to your house?

Too much water. Get them out of that muddy soil. Man, with those closeups, you could see a pimple on an aphid. Good luck.

Welcome from Florida. There's lots of great info here, but dont be afraid to ask questions or post pictures.

Yes, I saw the other thread. Looks like a much more cost effective than those $60.00 Earthboxes. I think I'm gonna make one, but modify it a bit with a PVC fill tube in the back instead of the connecting hose you have. I need to keep mine "mobile" so I can move them around in case of a Florida...

Very impressive. Thought only the hydro guys used those rubbermaid totes. But they seem better to use than 5 gallon buckets.

I dont know if you increase your odds of getting hornworms by having them with your peppers. I think hornworms will visit regardless. But if I only have 10 pepper plants in a garden and hornworms arrive, he's gonna hit one of the ten. If I have ten peppers and ten nasturtiums, then I cut my odds...

sucks that you got scammed on ebay. dont forget to leave negative feeback on there.

Read a university article about "trap crops" that attract pests away from more valuable plants. For example, gardners will plant nasturtium in a garden because caterpillars love it and are naturally attracted to it before other vegetable plants. Better to learn of caterpillars when seeing a...

Looks like temperature/sun/wind related wilt. As long as you dont have inward leaf curl, which would be indicative of Verticillium Wilt. The plants would die within a few days. This is mostly a soil problem. But plants photosynthesing during a sunny, hot, dry or windy day will lose more water...

Another thumbs up for Neil at THSC. Great guy, good prices, quick shipping even from Australia. Thanks Neil
