Trying some new stuff this year my my #chillipepepers .

My Habanero leaves were shrinking and turning yellow so I tried covering the plant with a dish towel resting on a mesh plant tray and it’s started to come back. I think the air was too dry and the temp variation too much for it.

Put the #reaper with it too as that’s a more humid favoring chili and it seems to be doing well also.

The pots in the planter is another experiment. As Redwood planters dry out too quickly.

#chilipepper update. Tenting the #Habanero and #Reaper was definitely the way to go. They are looking super healthy now after being pale yellow with shrinking leaves.

Finally feel like I’ve cracked the code for more humid loving #chillies

Closing the loop. Habanero produced great and the reaper only gave me 6 chilies most smaller than this. Combing together for a mango reaper #hotsauce
And now I’ve made a #hotsauce that is so hot it will last me a year at least. 🤦‍♂️
@theowatson Ah, now we finally know what was in the trunk
