"GF> I bought five new plants yesterday
"GF> At the moment I have 192 Seeds planted
You are definitely a full fledged Chile-head! I have only 6 plants on
the go: 2 each of habanero, cayenne and "Super-chili". I have no yard so
my "gardening" is restricted to flower pots indoors on window sills.
"GF> It seems that my Ancho plant has or had weevil/s. That's what the
"GW> guys at the local nursery told me anyway.
"GF> I bought some insecticide and I'll spray it
I have had various insect attacks from time to time. Soapy (not
detergent) water sometimes helps. I forget how much soap to use (not
much) but others here can jump in. I use insecticides too, but not after
the fruits are developed. I don't want insecticides on my food if I can
help it.
"GF The curled leaves are only because
"GF> of the cold weather.
Most chilies are very cold intolerant. They shouldn't be exposed to
temps below 6 C.
"GF> I don't know
"GF> what I'll do if they all germinate!
Have a harvest party? Start a hot sauce company? <G>
