morro's garden

Hi all,
This is my second year growing peppers and also my second glog here.
I have overwintered 10 plants and have been battling aphids for 4 months. I am winning, but because of the neem oil applications the new growth and flowers got burned. They are still alive though...
The OW list, not 100% sure, have to check the labels:
Scotch Bonnet Red
Peach Bhut Jolokia
Red Bhut Jolokia
Fatalii
7pot Brain Strain Yellow (it's orange actually)
Douglah Brown 7 pod
Moruga Scorpion
Carolina Reaper
Habanero orange
Habanero Carribean Red
 
Received a ton of seeds (see below) from az1000 so this year will be an experiment of pubescens grow in a not so friendly environment.

az1000, thanks again for the seeds, without them this grow log would have been too short

Some are recovering well, some are very slow and 6 chinenses confirmed dead. Rocotos and baccatums are happy.

Glad to see comeback!

I like your garden a lot.
If all goes well , that is what I will try next season , raised beds and shade net.
Good luck.

I have a ton of rocoto flowers and some of them did set fruits. Looking at the 18 days ago pics I realize how much everything has grown
 

 
The wilted baccatum had its stem damaged by ice and now it's almost broken, probably it won't survive.

 

[Devv]

Impressive growth! You're off to a fantastic grow this year
 
Is that a young fig tree in the bottom pic?

Thanks. Yes, I planted 4 fig trees this spring and have 2 more since 2015.

Why do you put dry grass around your plants ?

 

[OCD Chilehead]

I was going through your glog and saw the disaster. I was about to say don't worry they will make a come back. I see they are doing well.

Awesome garden!

Congrats!

I use it as a mulch.

Thanks, they are recovering but have lost many weeks from the season. I'm still thankful, it could have been worse
