DeNNiZ's Aint going out like that GLOG '16

Why i'm doing this again.. im not sure...as priorities get more complicated... and time is valuable to us all.. we start to eliminate  other priorities.  
 
For those that dont know.. ive been dealing with one of my most troublesome pest.. and its called ERIOPHYID MITES... (go google it.. lol).  for 3 years it was a ghost.. and soon became known to me as PEPPER AIDS as it just kept killing all my plants (2 yrs ago i went from 200 plants to 12)  call it mother natures way of limiting me to the amount of plants.. after taking SOIL and PEST management classes, the were able to find out it wasn't soil borne but rather on the plant... but now knowing what it is.. i am almost sure it is something that i can just get rid of and last year really allowed me to do my best and cohabitate with it.  i was able to retain more than 1/2 of my plants most of the season.( even though the harvest was slow).  
 
anyways.. enough nonsense  . its always fun to say at the start that we will limit ourselves to a few varieties.. some have succeeded .. but when youre part of an awesome community.. its hard to do that....with guys sending you their special cultivars and some that they recommend.. its hard to just say NO...

 
 
 
so on with the SHOW...

Best of luck controlling the pests this season. You always have a great looking garden. If this Obeah turn out good I want to get some of those seeds. They are some awesome looking pods!
I hear ya on the time constraints too. Between brewing beer and peppers it's hard to find time along with the kids activities. But if you you love something, you usually find time :)
 
Been busy with the girls and their Garden Bed.... too bad i started without them.. FAVA beans Zukes... beans
 



 

 
 
Glad this Lemon Balm was far away from the rest...

 
 
Purple MoA

 
got myself a new light and made my own box to retain all the light

 

 
last years f2 brown BBG never got pods... this is the first this year...

 
 
Naranjillas


 
had fun getting these guys out of the aerogarden 





 
 
It's been a slow and painful grow so far...

The aphids have infiltrated the inside grow. And it's been quiet fun with them inside... anyways



Black panthers. Of 5. 4 seem to show proper pheno so far



Was able to dig.these out the mother Rhombodium



Leaf hopper nymphS causing trouble. Luckily there were only about 10 of them on the brown bbg



Chaocoenese coming back to life



aerogarden #1. After taking this photo I trimmed them nearly bald..and dipped them in water mixed with sulfur powder



Have to retreat them as they have more again



yes folks...salad in the aerogarden


white MoA cutting from Bill S


did I mention since I took photos of the seedling. I roasted them (long story)




This volunteer Manzano is flowering and it allowed me to finger it




My NOT labuyo is taking off from last year
 
Looking good.  So you got the aphid and hopper problems under control? 
 
It'll be interesting to see how that Black Panther grows for you.  F3?
 
I'm curious about the purple MOA......Is that a cross?  Are the leaves purple too?  Can't wait to see that one again.  Good luck with the pests!  Those mantis ought to help out. :)
