They invaded my plants a few weeks back when we had a rather 'unseasonable' June heat wave in the UK (yes, unseasonable. You look out the window today and you'd know why. It's in the teens, gloomy and rainy...and this is July), and now there are hundreds on my plants.
Things got so bad, I had no choice but to break out the SB Plant Invigorator to control the little cretins. Right up to that I had tried controlling them with some sticky tape (running it along the pods picking up the aphids), but this was now getting out of hand.
After one thorough spraying at the beginning of the week, they are now doing much better. They still have aphids, mind you, but they are much better.
I'm starting to get antsy, because there are at least three plants that should have ripe pods by now: The Lemon Drop, the Cayenne Golden, and the Ring of Fire. Come to think of it, the Stromboli and the Goats Weed aren't that far off.
Good News Everyone!
The Trinidad Scorpion x Giant White Habanero cross has two little pods!
Oooooooooh the excitement is palpable now! Really looking forward to that one.
Off to return to work I go!
