CMPMAN1974 - 2012 Grow Log - Started 2/26/12

Well, after a long awaited time, I finally got some seeds in dirt this evening. Wow, it took a long time as some of these names of these varieties are long. :) My theme this year...Pequins/Tepins - rare ones & AFRICA. Also, I think some rare Brazilian varieties will be planted too along with some Pubescens in the next few days. I have no idea how germination will be on some of these African varieties, but it should be fun. I enjoy market varieties and odd stuff found off the beaten path.

Here's what I've got sowed to date. Wish me luck!

Chris

I seem to have the most resistant pepper maggots on the face of this Earth. NOTHING stops these bastards. I just don't know any way to eliminate them from the garden. Fortunately, they leave the C. chinense alone mostly. and all smaller pods. They love the cherry bomb types and jalapenos. I don't know how any pest can be this destructive w/no way to eliminate them.

Chris

The Rocotos I'm growing on the patio have attracted these little characters too. After reading about them, it seems your assessment is correct - they are unstoppable. They are native to wherever Carolina Horsenettle is (where I live at least), so maybe their predators will also find their way into your garden too. The flies that develop are very easy to identify. They move very quickly, but I have managed to squish one.
 
Chris. Sorry to hear your struggles stud flowering/podding up. Here in SoCal we maybe have had 3-7 days if rain so far this year. And lately see been having hot and humid days. Fortunately they are in my sunshaded area. Things will boom for you. I'm sure of it. May the pepper gods watch over you. I want to plant my peppers in ground but last year I dealt with grubs that consumed my crop. The year before that spider mites made my pull everything. Grubs suck as hell. Btw. What kind of eggplants u growing. ?! Nice tomato flower. Btw. If u need mater seeds I have a few fun ones. Someone here has then teaspoon tomatoes. Those seem cool. Would you happen to know what kind of maters these are

Green then purple then red I think

Good to hear you're seeing some improvement Chris and sorry about the critters. I'm having my ups and downs too. Hope the good luck continues.
 
Glad to see some good pod news, Chris. On the other hand,
the pepper maggot thing is sucky. I've never heard of them
before. Seems like there are as many pepper pests as there
are pepper varieties.

Stiff upper lip, bro - looks like you are overcoming the obstacles
as they come your way. I wonder if there is some kind of predator
you could order and release to get after them?

I answered my own question:


http://www.plantdex.com/index.php/pests/163-controlling-pepper-maggot

Parasitic nematodes are also a possible control. Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (H.B.) nematodes are active pepper maggot larva seekers and move quickly through the soil. To obtain these nematodes, please call the Experiment Station for a list of biological control suppliers. When adult flies are first detected in mid-July, the nematodes can be placed into the soil about 1 month later, from mid to late August, to intercept the maggots as they drop into the soil to pupate. They are effective in the first year of release if conditions are favorable.

Choosing resistant cultivars can also reduce pepper maggot populations. The adult female prefers fleshy peppers, such as dark green bell and cherry peppers, to lay her eggs on. Pepper plants, like the thin-walled Cayenne, Jalapeno, Tabasco yellow or red banana and Serrano peppers, are not attractive to the fly. Cultivars that reach maturity during August often sustain little damage because the adult flies are absent.
 
AJ, looks like we have a winner. Dream come true for me - REAL Red Scotch Bonnet finally. :) Thanks so much.

That's fantastic Chris...lets hope next year grows true also...
 
Well, it's time to take a trip to Korea - thanks Bootsie B!

Paul, I actually released these nematodes last year AND this Spring already. I was gifted them by a good friend here. :) It's still early to see results, but I guess by year end I'll know if they made any positive difference. They are tough SOBs to eradicate for sure! Thanks for researching.

That Gogo's Laudium chile lit me up big time. I'm still trembling a bit after 5 minutes! Oh the Serbian variety is AWESOME - so sweet and crunchy. A real treat for sure.
 
Good on ya Cmpman...
I planted most of the same varieties from BootsieB. They're just getting red-ripe here, so you're a few weeks ahead. Cheers
 
Awesome garden pics, my friend! Glad to hear you got the
nematodes already - will be interested to see how they do.
I wonder if repeated innoculations each year are necessary
for a while?

Hate pests! I gave foliar shot of Neem oil to the plants that show
evidence of chew holes, or have had a pod attacked. Preemptive strike!

Good luck, bro!
 
Silver, no pod set yet on them. The summer has been WAY too hot. :( I'm hoping for a late set and to bring a few indoors. My climate is very frustrating when it comes to this species.

Beautiful, very healthy plants man.

Have any Manzanos podding up yet? Heat here has given me zilch thus far.
 
You have nice plant my friend nice & tall & healty soon both of as will be very busy deseeding bunch of pods but after all hard wok it worth it. Chris did you plant any of my crosses like Armageddon F-2,Kaval F-2, Impact F-2,Majur ljuta F-1 or any another .I like to see differenes from mine & yours when they ripe. :halo:
