Once again hi all.

My wife bought me a kit for Christmas and has been the best present she has bought me in terms of value for money and enjoyment.
I love chilli`s, vindaloo is a nice temperature for me but have never thought about growing them.
Actually very very happy with how I have looked after these and the results.
In my kit I received "Ring of fire, Hungarian hot and Twilight".
In my main "chilli adult pic" I have shown what is what in my patio planting bed.
Not how I remember planting them but..
I think from the left is ring of fire with hungarian at the front but I am not sure if on the right it will be twilight?

Look forward to your help here.

My Chillis

Best regards and thanks,
Stu

Hi Stu. Nice to see you. Awesome pics, especially the one of pollination with the added addition of predator pest control (ladybird hidden under foliage). Nice.

Hi Stu,

Nice looking plants. The pollinator is probably a hover fly - the maggots of which are the best Aphid munchers we've seen so far.

Regards, Steve.

Re: Hi! 1 year, 5 months ago #592

yesterday i de-bugged a few plants which were infested with aphids & whitefly (outside).once i'd finished, various hoverflies, parasitic wasps & sundry predators suddenly descended on my dripping plants!
i examined one plant in particular, a ring of fire, & observed a hoverfly settle on a bud & begin to despatch an aphid, then another did the same on a flower.
was i glad to see these little workers appear on time? yes-as i was due at work soon, & it'll save on bug spray!!
haven't seen any of their young so far though....
