RE: Moving House & Vegetable Garden Update!!

in #homesteading6 years ago

Really glad for you, mate. Take some pics of the property when you start moving in. And about the peppers you can definitely dry them and cure them, but freezing preserves the flavour much better and this is also how you keep your personal stash of organic insecticide :)

=) You mean using the chilli powder to keep slugs and other critters from your plants? I've heard of it working but yet to try it. I grow a lot of hot peppers. Unfortunately I had an accident that killed off most of my crop this year when i left the planting tray outside for too long the sun dried up my plants and overheated them. I only have a chocolate ghost pepper, 2 Paprika, 1 Carolina Reaper and a Douce D'Espange. The super hots take soo long to grow though I cannot hope to get much of a crop in if i start another plant again unless I bring them indoors. Which a friend of mine has offered to do so I am considering. Sorry for the rabble. :P

Carolina reaper I want that one too!! Not for eating just for the growing, and maybe making a little bit of pepperspray😂😂
I am also planning on keeping my peppers indoors in the winter!!

I don't have many seeds left but if my little one produces then I can hook you up with some seeds in the fall for sure.

That would be awsome!! Ive heard so much about that pepper, would love to grow it😂I hope when I have them and they are growing outside someone steals some and uses them in a dish or something😂

LMAO, that reminds me of what happened to one of mine. I came outside to see a big branch snapped off and some bites out of one of the peppers. I'm almost positive a squirrel got into the pepper and had some sort of fit when the heat hit his mouth, breaking the branch off as a result of the burning mistake he made. lol, and i never had a bite missing out of my peppers again... =)

No I meant as a spray for mites, thrips and aphids!

Okeee!!! Nice to know that, does it matter how strong the solution is? Does it burn the plants if its to strong?

No it doesn't burn.
