Hey Fellow Floridians - Year 2

[Fiishergurl]

Thank you Jpop. We like them like that as well... :-)

Ella they are good and most of them are mild. We also really like Padrons which are generally a bit spicier but very similar in taste just a little hotter.

Thank you, Ginny. I will try to grow them.

If it's not one thing it's another. I hate people who don't train their kids.

I guess I should have taken a picture.

[maxjohnson]

There.

Here's one that survived, no curled new leaves growth.

Your baby looking good. Max, do not give up. You have plenty of time. Here in NJ recommended time for planting out is mid May and end of September is usually the end of the season.

Hey my friends... any idea what this is? This one stalk on the plant started turning lime green at the top of the stalk and now it looks like some kind of blight. The weird thing is it seemd to start at the top and didnt look like normal blight or leaf diseases at all at first.

No clue here.

It looks like iron deficiency but the other leaves look fine.

Ginny, it may be some nutrients deficiency.

"Yellowing of new leaves could point to iron or calcium, but iron chlorosis is characterized by uniform yellowing with small, green veins. For more details, see the infographic below and this guide by the Texas Agricultural Extension Service."

Little Epsom Salt would not hurt (source of Magnesium).
Tomato-tone has Calcium and Nitrogen, I belive.
Can it be from overfeeding?
Sorry, not much help.

[Fiishergurl]

Thanks everyone

It could be from overfeeding or too wet which can cause iron deficincy. The strange thing is it is only on one stalk of one plant and the sample picture on the internet show it more uniformly on all the new growth.

Maybe i should post it on Barbs Masterblend thread?

I had this on several plants this year, mostly dwarfs and micro dwarfs. Mine started like that, went darker yellow, infected the closest leaves, always starting at stem and then moving out. I just trimmed he bad branches off asap to try to stop it, and has worked well. I did google it and will look in my notes. It was (I think) a type of wilt that is characterized by yellowing of single branches typically on one side of plant.

Best weather this year but I have been guns blazing here in Jupiter with the worst flying aphids, whitefly, hornworms, even army worms and fungus gnats! Stupid mistake of buying MiracleGro potting mix (NOT moisture control!) again this year. I forgot how much the gnats love that stuff!

Hi Audrey,

Did you cut all the way to the bottom of the stem? This would take out a huge portion of the plant but better to do it if it might save the plant.

Thanks for the info... :-)

Audrey, Gnatrol is very inexpensive, and a little pinch is all you need. It is BTW, so it is very safe, but very effective.
Audrey do you grow in pots, raised beds, or soil. You described Fusarium wilt, but that is soil borne, not likelying to get it in a pot unless the pot touches the soil where the drain holes are.

Marsha,

If it's soil borne virus wilt will it show in the stems I cut off?
