Hi everyone.
ScotChile update!
Firstly, I wanted to thank everyone who responded last time. =
Unfortunately, my internet access right now is a bit sporadic and so I =
may have missed some replies. Apologies if anyone is feeling ignored!
I have a feeling I'm quite a bit ahead of many of you on the list, as my =
chile plants are now hardening off in the greenhouse, and mainly doing =
well. Most are in 8" pots, save for a couple which are in 10" pots. =
I've also planted some directly into 10" plastic cylinders, filled with =
earth and over the greenhouse's soil. This is an experiment, but the =
plants have survived a week so far, and seem fine. Most plants are =
around 4 to 6 inches in height, but some of the later ones are a little =
smaller.
I'm not going to ramble on unlike before, but I do have a 'situation' =
with some of the plants. Not having a digital camera and not having had =
a chance to get conventional photos developed, I'm going to have to =
describe the ailments rather than show you an image. Basically, some of =
the plants have white, paper-thin patches on some leaves. There appears =
to be no pattern to this, and none of the plants seem worse for it. =
I've picked off the worst affected leaves, but on some it's a speckled =
effect and on others it's at the tips of the leaves and in some cases in =
the middle. Strange. I firstly thought about the sun, but it's March, =
it's Scotland and we don't get too much sun. Can anyone suggest what =
this might be and what I can do about it?
All the best,
John
