Hi Guy's
The last few year's of my chilli pepper growing journey has been mostly capsicum chinense varieties in a small greenhouse trying to find varieties that I like and will do well in my wee Scottish greenhouse.
Each year I'm adding "keeper " varieties that I want to grow year on year so I'm trialling less and less year on year.
Generally due to my trials I tend to grow a "single" specimen of each variety to maximise the amount of I can try out .
This brings me to my question for those with more experience.........
I've noticed one plant in the greenhouse can become victim of greenfly/aphids while the plant right next to it does not !
Is this the same with multiples of single varieties........?
What I mean is if I you have 6 Dorset naga for example....do you find "some" plant's get aphids and other not ??
My thinking being about seed saving from from "aphid proof" individuals Is this a option ??
