Hi Pods, I'm pleased to report that the weird looking bugs on my Siberian are baby ladybugs. They look like small alligators so I didn't think they were ladybugs but a quick check revealed that they WERE ladybugs. So I am happy. My plants really needed some natural bug repellent. All's well in Chilechick's pepper patch. Hot weather is making my plants grow tall and healthy and lots of blossoms make the patch a sea of colours. Black Cuban (Thanks Tara!) is looking beautiful and the Bolivian Rainbow (Thanks Risa) is the most beautiful pepper plant I've ever seen. More updates on my site soon. Thanks everyone for donating and swapping seeds with me. Luv ya guys! Miss Dewi PS. Randy, if you're out there, I love you! XXX
