Chillies - what are you growing/overwintering?

[Jay22]

Thanks Trip, appreciated!

[Ms-T]

I am not happy.
any one know what this is on my hot wax.?

[vixylix]

It looks like it might be an infection where you've cut leaves off? I hope not

I'm sure someone expert will be along shortly!

[Scarlet]

Oh no Ms T! I think it may be verticillium willt...though I'm not entirely sure? It looks like "blight" . Personally I would get rid of the plant just incase it spreads to others. Cut the stem much lower down from the "rot" section. Is it brown inside?

[Ms-T]

There was a leaf there,but it fell off as I moved it.

[Ms-T]

I move it as soon I saw it .will be chopping it up soon to see whats going on.
will look up what you said Scarlet.thanks

or possibly Phytophthora Blight aka Chile wilt ??

[Ms-T]

Well it was just round that part of the stem,no rot up or down ...so cut it back t0 about 3" and its now in the garden under a dome.
All other plants look ok.

Oh no Ms-T...

No consolation..but I've had a hot wax pizza!



It was pretty much the right heat for me, maybe a little more kick needed, it didn't burn the skin off my tongue but I did get the sweat under the eyes! Haha!

In other more cheery news... Pretty sure one of the crosses is going to flower tomorrow..

[Ms-T]

Show off....and you didn't share... ...I've got little flower pods on one of mine

[cptncrackoff]

Sorry.. didn't mean to gloat!
..They're lovely though!!

[Small pumpkin]

That pizza looks lovely cptcrackoff.
Ms-T sorry to see your very unhappy plant. Did you manage to save the chilli's off it?

Postman brought me a parcel yesterday 6 more chilli plants it was supposed to be 9 but never mind, they were free only had to pay postage ( that was the same if you had 1 or 12 ).
The ID guessing games will begin again once the poor little things have recovered from there very traumatic journey .
I've got 2 Jamaican yellow mushroom, 1 Tunisian mild or medium, 1 AJI lemon drop or verde and 2 not got a clue ( nothing written on their pots at all ).

It's all very exciting

[Ms-T]

Yes S/P I save the chilli's ,still got 2 more one with chilli's and one with flowers.

hot wax


Habanero.

Aahhhhh.....SP ....I know where you got THOSE from ;-)......

[Small pumpkin]

Any chance you can help ID them then ladyslip? Because I haven't got a shocking clue !
2 pots have jam yellow mushroom ( Jamaican yellow mushroom, if we can believe what's written on the pots)
2 pot nothing written on them ( surprise chilli's, I like surprises)
1 pot has TUN written on it ( guessing Tunisian mild or medium, only thing on their website with TUN )
1 pot has AR or AIL ( not clear) written on it. ( nothing on their website has anything listed with those initials). I first thought it was AJI on the pot so I thought lemon drop or verde but it definitely isn't. This is confirmed by the chilli's already on the plant ! Wrong shape for lemon drop or verde.

Go on ladyslip work your magic. I don't mind if you can't ID the 2 with nothing written on there pots
