The Rocotos are beginning to put out
some new growth. A couple still look
a little ragged.

That San Pedro Orange is supposed to be a very nice variety with good flavor and production, but it's been a challenge for me to get going.  I'm not sure the seeds I received were in the greatest shape.  Glad to see that you've managed to get yours to where it's putting on some size.  I have a couple very young ones that seem to be growing better now, but started out quite weak and slow. I'll be happy if I can get some good seeds this season for easier future grows.

Thanks, Bryan!

Hey Paul, was it you, who added Neem to your watering water, to combat the aphids? If so did it work?

I did try a soil drench with the NEEM one time.
Not sure how it did. When the plants went out
to the greenhouse, the aphid population just
exploded. I think the most effective treatment is
Safer Insecticidal Soap. The NEEM foliar spray
works well, but I don't like the oily residue it
leaves behind, especially if used often. I need to
use the soap again, I notice them trying to make
a comeback..

Some of those dog masks look a bit like croc or gator masks to me.  Just saying.
Haha, CD! Gotta check for teeth!
BTW - Paul that Yaki is looking great!  Glad it's rebounding.  It seems to take on quite different looks under different conditions, but always good ones.
It’s one I’ve been very interested in ever since
seeing one in your grow log. Really hoping it takes
off. Would like to see the Mojo Blue Ghost do well,
too. They make a great pair!
 
Thanks, GPR! The Chiltepins can get tree-like
with small branches. In a big pot, mine have hit
3-4 feet tall. In a climate that allows them to OW
outside, they should get much bigger.
 
The three plants in the back row range from 12-15
inches tall - at least. They need to be potted up!
