These guys list japanese beetles as a pest for hungarian hot waxes--so seems they do.   So did you figure out what was the cause? Last week, I found some black stuff that oddly looks a lot like the stuff on your plants + acccompanied by missing chunks of leaves (something got at the peppers...

So, no watering before going in the freezer, right?

Thanks Sluggy! I bought a humidifier since I don't have the time to be misting them every half hour.. ;)

If you have trouble finding the pests with your eyes, I'd also say maybe thrips.

85-90F during the day is good for optimum growth. At 95F, they stop producing pollen/it goes sterile. If they're in the shade with a good root system and  well irrigated they can take 100F, but with the sun glaring on them, the spot temperature is going to be much much higher on the plant...

My winter pest is spider mites. What with the heating on, and no predation.

Well, at least it's growing well. You're sure to have more pods than you can handle at some point. Hang in there!

To chime in, I agree with pretty much everything everybody mentioned above... but personally I think you need to pay more attention to maintain the right level of moisture right after transplanting if you use a much bigger pot. Just because the tiny rootball area can dry up while most of the...

Hope more of the cuttings take, great plan to preserve good strains. If it's of any help, I've had better luck initially starting in water. Also make sure the cutting has been made right at a node where the meristem cells will more readily convert to roots.   [edit] forgot to mention that I'd...

Why smoke tobacco when you can gorge on chilis? :dance:

Speaking from an Asian perspective, you should also be taking some of the kelp home for the kitchen.   :!:

Nice, these are all this year's grow?   [edit] and what's with the terrier barking, lol?

Awesome, will be looking forward to the summer.

Sorry for my ignorance--what is natural growing? That kinda sounds like just sitting back and doing nothing...but I'm guessing that's not what you're getting at.

BT = bacillus thuringiensis

Any pods?

Guess most of the roots had died off already. Too bad, but at least you have your little ones! Good luck in the tomato patch.

sp33d, no sweat, everybody knows their own field better and nees initiation to new terms.   I think it would be better put as the specific expression of the combination of genes carried by the individual, or plainly: the way it actually is on the outside, in comparison to the other possibilities...

Wow, lovely! I tried growing an egyptian lotus once. It sprouted but just died while the stalk was in the process of emerging from the seed. You must have some talent with water plants!

Resurrecting an old thread because I just dug up my corms after a first year of growing saffron and could use some tips for a better crop the year after. So, I planted 40 last september, 4 just rotted without ever breaking the turf, about half of the rest flavoured my paella and risottos...
