Unfortunately, insects had been at them, and the larvae had left the insides rotting.
Lots more forming since i transplanted it to a pot where its roots actually have room; tomorrow i'm hitting a nursery for advice on pesticides.

If you can, stick to biologicals... less residues to worry about. When I was gardening actively I had good results with rotenone powder and pyrethrum dust, and with diatomaceous earth dusting. Neem is a bit tough on nightshades (it can kill or burn tomatoes) and nicotine spray is just too toxic for my liking.AnotherFairportfan wrote:Lots more forming since i transplanted it to a pot where its roots actually have room; tomorrow i'm hitting a nursery for advice on pesticides.
Also, for future reference (it's probably too late for this year)... companion planting with coriander and dill can help a lot. The flowers of these plants attract adult lacewings, and they feed and then lay eggs on nearby plants... and lacewing larvae are fierce and effective predators on aphids and many other pest insects. Just plant a few coriander seeds every few weeks, let them come up and flower and go to seed... this cut my aphids problems almost to nothing.

Re: "Not long t'harvest, Hiram." "Ayuh."
Pyrethrum has the advantage of being a repellent as well as killing pests, but has to be re-applied constantly as it breaks down in sunlight. Also, it's murder on bees and smaller mammals such as your feline friends. The USDA's started to get a bit stricter on its use.Dave wrote:If you can, stick to biologicals... less residues to worry about.

Diatomacious earth doesn't keep away the pests, but it will gradually kill 'em off. And if you get into trouble, you can always use it to make dynamite.

*drools*
Please say those are spicy.
Marigolds repel many furry and insectoid pests.
Watering the ground with Dawn dishsoap and tobacco keeps a few others away. Spraying the plant with soapy water at night helps too...just don't do what I did and forget to rinse them off before eating...soapy hot peppers are icky.

Yanno how some people have Angels/Devils for a conscience? I have a Dark Elf ShadowKnight and a Half Elf Ranger for mine. The really bad part is when they agree on something.

Re: "Not long t'harvest, Hiram." "Ayuh."
I'd be very cautious about doing that. A lot of tobacco carries TMV (tobacco mosaic virus), and this virus also attacks other nightshade plants including tomatoes and peppers.DinkyInky wrote:Watering the ground with Dawn dishsoap and tobacco keeps a few others away.
