Hey Jim, Miss Dewi, Marilyn, Alex, Elden and Thomas,
Thanks for your emails. Since you asked me to keep you informed about my
garden I thought I'd tell you about some stuff. I bought five new plants
yesterday,
Jalapeno
Hot Wax
Cherry Bomb
Long Sweet Green
Another one that looks like Serrano
It seems that my Ancho plant has or had weevil/s. That's what the guys at
the local nursery told me anyway. The curled leaves are only because of the
cold weather. I bought some insecticide and I'll spray it tonight. I also
got some Marigolds which are supposed to help with aphids and thrips etc. At
the moment I have 192 Seeds planted, using many different techniques for
soaking and germinating. I don't know what I'll do if they all germinate!
Cheers everyone, Beau.
