Build a fence?

I'm using cheap potting mix that as far as I can see has no water features such as water crystals and minimal included fertiliser. What you'll see in my 2013-2014 grow log is a season ruled by Rocotos. The night temperatures have been less than ideal for C.chinense growth. It has though been...

Greetings also from SA. How are your plants coming along?

Do you have alive seedlings in the Osmocote seed raising mix? I found that it retains far too much moisture and will not go near it again.

I haven't found another caterpillar of the same looper type as yet. With luck that means it's uncommon.   Did it have legs distributed evenly among its body (as in not a looper)?

Thanks, the one on the right though as of earlier today is half crispy after the temperature spiked over 30 °C. I watered it with Iron chelate solution on Sunday.   The rest of the photos I took on Monday follow. The Sukanya plant on the left below is a good shade of green: Sukanya (left) and...

My original Bahamian Goat Pepper that began as a sprout at the very end of October 2011 is currently flowering. I sowed 4 Bahamian Goat Pepper seeds into pots where I was having no luck with the other seeds in late August. All 4 sprouted but have been stunted by seed raising mix that was not my...

Moving on to a 2013-2014 thread. I had a plant of most of the varieties pull through. Gone include:Bhut Jolokia Chocolate Jamaican Hot Chocolate Peach HabNot Trinidad Moruga Red

This season is mostly a continuation of the last season. My attempts to start a few varieties that I haven't grown have been unsuccessful thus far. To kick things off here's two of my red Rocoto plants side by side: Rocoto Red plant #1 and #3 I'm working towards figuring out why the plant on...

  The leaf structure and flower closely resemble a weed that I've seen in the garden spread via bird droppings.

The fruit from the previous season may have been poorly pollinated. Did the palnts appear unhealthy last season?   Photos need ot be uploaded to an image host such as http://imgur.com first. Once uploaded there copy over the IMG tag (on imgur you may need to click get embed codes to see them).

I have found that different conditions in the same garden resulted in plants of the same strain of Rocoto producing fruit that tasted different.   Did you grow your Brown Rocoto side by side with another strain for comparison?

I haven't had any luck finding information on a caterpillar matching its description. A couple of the references that I've looked through thus far: Good Bug? Bad Bug? (PDF) Caterpillar Identification Chart

I caught the caterpillar that left a hole in my largest Rocoto pod of the season: Caterpillar - dark brown, striped sides Caterpillar - dark brown, striped sides Has anyone seen a reference to this particular type of caterpillar online?

The appearance of one fruit on one plant does not convey information about the appearance of future fruits on future plants. i.e. A fruit containing hybrid seed due to cross pollination will not necessarily appear any different to other fruit containing self-pollinated on the plant. The...

To make a selection you need to have a set of more than one plant. The goal is to select the one that conforms and grow the next generation from the seed it produces.

While researching it I found a post by the member srin2 with a photo of a Cili Padi that appears to be Capsicum frutescens variety:

There's a Capsicum annuum Padi on semillas.de.

How long have those pods been on the plant?
