Peppers and the soil food web. This summer i had great success with my peppers, general health of plants and overall quality of fruit as well. This new microbe growing method is going to only improve my previous quality of products. The reactions from the synthetic salts were not usually quite as positive as with the tomatoes and other things i grew. The insect pressure was just insane last year from the weevils (see the damage in the jalapeños pic, brown spot. Usually would be a hole, and this year a few didn't burrow only left the wall of fruit. 🤔) and in general i found the peppers finicky unless it was the chilis or hotter ones. Even the insect world knows to avoid the California reaper 😂. (Grew amazing last year, did not try one). Theres talks of a hoop house in the near future, if i can swing that ill be growing peppers eggplants and tomatoes in the worst environment possible b. (Hoop houses are.... handy, for storage and things. Haha. Actually mainly for propagation of perennials until summer. But protected culture is always better for these plants than non. The ability to make a micro climate during cooler weather to increase ripening is a huge bonus. But thats also the drawback, its a giant tube of micro climate, always dealing with spikes in the extremes of humidity and heat, with minimal control. Adding the controls places one in a silly position of having spent too much in the hobby kit and not investing into bay one of a gutter connect. Which isn't always the right answer for everyone either. Always planning, always thinking, but just keep growing as you go. Literally and figuratively. Have a great weekend everyone. 💪🤓👍🌱🌲💐💨. #thankgodformedicine #godsmedicine #greenfood #growingpeppers #backyardpeppers #organicpeppers #paprikakwekerij #kwekerij #plantblog #plantnerd #plantsoverpills #horticulturist #horticultureblogger #organicproduce #cultivation #organiccultivation #prebiotic #probioticfarmersalliance #probioticvegetables #soilfoodweb #microbeorganics #plantopinion #plantthoughts #williamdamseeds #uharvest #uharvestorganicseeds #reneesgardenseeds @uharvest @williamdamseeds @reneesgardenseeds #wallacewow @wowwallace @gro4organics https://www.instagram.com/p/BngWdDBF7z-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z7idqogtt4dt
