I just wanted to post a big THANK YOU to everyone who emailed, both to the list and privately, suggestions on combatting spider mites. This is my first year growing chiles on this scale (approx. 50 plants) and it has not been the best year to expand my growing. We've received three times the normal rainfall and temperatures have been much lower than usual, in fact it nearly froze last night (mid 30's) and it's after Memorial Day on the Central Coast of California! I have more plants germinating in case I lose some to the mites. Hopefully summer has been rescheduled not cancelled! Of concern to CH's everywhere, one of the largest Red Savina growing operations in the US is not too far South of here so offer a prayer to El Grande to bring on the sun! OK, enough kvetching! You folks are the greatest! One day I hope to meet some of you in person and share a chile or two, you can even have the stem end! In Chiles, Doug ************************************************************* * For the sake of tolerance do we tolerate the intolerable? * *************************************************************
