Winter Grow in a spare bedroom

Cheers ALL!

I started this a few weeks ago. I have 4 over winter plants. Reaper, Chocolate Moruga, Cappuccino Scotch Bonnet and the fourth lol I forgot. Either not chocolate primo or PurpleghostScorpion.

Seed layout has 6 or 7 herb varieties... I currently have a few germination activity. Reaper, Lemon Drop, cilantro and chocolate Moruga... Thanks for looking.

You sure you want all that uncontrolled cross-pollination going on Books? :shocked:
 
From a seed-saving perspective, you've got fairly isolated plants so far.
 
Just a thought.

Paul I have no Idea. These 2 are smaller than the ones I saw 2 days ago. I have attic access in that room maybe to big of a space open from when I was up there last. Btw honey bees are small and fuzzy...I didn't let my cat next to these guys lol
Last year was wasps...

Bee-careful! How are they getting in? Call me paranoid, I have 3 wild honey bee nests within 50 yards of the house. Hoping they never try for my home.....

Like I said it's the attic access point in that spare bedroom. It's in the ceiling of that closet. I just haven't sealed the ceiling access too well and I guess they can smell 27 or so plants in there lol. A couple of them are pretty husky hopefully they go for the aphids.

Now that I have a better look, they look all the
world like the yellow jackets we have around
here. They have started swarming in our neck
of the woods now that we’ve had some warm
weather.
 
Peppers are growing. Plants are ok but a few of them have distorted growth because of the aphids. Aphids are getting worse growing and multiplying. I have sprayed again a couple times. 2 weeks I think it'll be time...

I just hope they don't do too much damage. Cheers Peeps happy growing...

I did start a few more seeds... Cilantro. Cucumbers. Sweet peppers. 2 types of oregano...

Ok so when I can see them moving and it looks to be uncontrollable what to do???

I've pruned and topped all of my plants to remove the infestation. Pffft yeah right...
I do believe I eliminate 70 percent and then applied neem...

I need the outdoors and a hose. I just don't feel like going up and down the stairs 52 times lol... cheers stay safe and keep your eyes on the zero freeze zone!
