I keep most of my chilis in pots outside until around October when it gets too cold here in Germany. We have a little conservatory where I then keep some of them until the fruits have completely ripened and afterwards I cut them back a little. Last year I also had issues with them not beeing very vivid in their second year, most likely because aphids and black fungus gnats weakened them too much. I guess capsicum also does not take dormacy very well and wants to keep growing during winter.
A greenhouse would be nice and has been on the to-do list for a few years now.

Interesting how you prefer the Scotch Bonnet. My brother had a huge harvest last year and then heard some of those chili freaks saying they were the worst of all. 🤣
Never tasted them personally, although I should have some of them in the freezer.

Apparently you can sprinkle pyrethrin flowers on the ground against those flea beatles that eat up raddish and rocket leaves. I will decide what to do with them once they actually flower.
I guess it's hard to tell if one has harmfull nematodes, but with random plants growing poorly and even dying for no obvious reason, I assume it's them. I once even found the hair roots of a lupin to be twitching and moving as if there was a worm inside.
Mustard might be another interesting experiment. I heard people use it against all kinds of pest and fungi.

Thanks for stopping by and all that wonderful curation work!
