Hey guys.. i need help with strawberries
Comments (1)Your plants are on the spindly side. They need more light. But you also need to know that strawberries have a dormant period for part of the year. I've provided a link to the basics of growing strawberries below... You might also talk to the folks at the Growing Under Lights Forum if they know anything about strawberries indoors. http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/lights/ Here is a link that might be useful: strawberries...See MoreIs my Ghost Chilli plant going well?

Comments (34)Ive been fighting thrips on my blueberry bushes for 3 years now in South Houston. They reck shop on new growth late in the fall season and thats the growth that produces your flower buds for spring fruit. Ive been using spinosad for 3 years and try not to spray untill after harvest. They seem to peek in Aug and Sept in my area. Ive done alittle research on them and kaolin clay (surround) is suppost to be pretty effective on thrips plus it helps plants deal with heat which is a bonus in my area. I ordered some surround this spring and will start using it after harvest this year. Hopefully I wont have to spray spinosad anymore. I did notice after spraying spinosad it would knock them back for a couple weeks then seemed like they came back even stronger. It does kill beneficials as well. Dont believe every thing you read on those labels. The lady bugs and lace wings were no where to be found after spraying for months! Dont use it unless you have too. I believe it does more harm than good. A healthy population of lace wings and lady bugs I think can possibably keep there numbers in check but Im afraid they are here to stay. The only plants I dont see alot of damage on here from thrips are rabbiteye blueberries, okra and tomatoes. They do hit the rabbiteyes but not very much at all. Bellpepper, black berry, strawberry, Southern High Bush Blueberry all get attacked in a bad way....See MoreSuper Chilli plant from a supermarket
Comments (21)I love that Bruce's historic Numex Twilight. I am growing one from his seeds. On the pot size, I can do it in 3, 4, and 5 gallon pot. This year I made a special raised bed just for my peppers but still ended up potting half a dozen or so in 4 gallon nursery pots. If you are growing where you have a long growing season like SoCal, Tx, .. bigger pots can be valuable and offer convenience in watering and keeping it moist longer. So it depends. For me it has very little pay off to spend too much money on pot and potting soil. YMMV Sey...See Moreemmachili
