hi all,
when i say Rocoto , i mean the common red rocoto. i like it very very
much,stuffed is god's eat.
where i live in Bari (south Italy) the summer is very hot, it's 40°celsius
even and there's often the sirocco, a very warm wind.
two years agoi had 3 plants of red rocoto, and only one was full of pods.
But those plants were a gift so were already developed.
This year i sawred rocoto, but the little plants have difficulty to graw,
some leaves are curling up, and some plants withered.
May be is due to an excess of nitrogen or to an excess of peat that icrease
the pH ?

THANK YOU
Vito
