Well, unfortunately, some of the peppers I did NOT start myself have some type of pathogen in them which is starting to transfer to other pepper plants that are close to them.
The leaves on the store-bought jalapenos started to display spots, yellow, and curl up about a week ago.
I consulted my favorite expert, David Halsey, at the Schedel Arboretum and Gardens, and have taken his advice to clear the patch of affect leaves and then apply some copper fungicide. It’s a relatively mild, and natural fungicide that might be all it takes to knock it out. If I don’t see improvement in a week or two, I may resort to more traditional chemical solutions.
The garden looks great, on the whole. Tomatoes are giant, we’ve already eaten half-a-dozen eggplants, the onions look great, the carrot tops are getting bigger and bigger (my first time ever growing carrots). Here’s a look at some photos from yesterday.
Hello I contacted you on fb about 6 month ago asking to sample a jalokian pepper and you said to let you know later in the year so here I am …like I said am willing to pay for your troubles….can’t find any in Houston….let me know thanks.
