Had an God awful panic. Went into the poly tunnel and there were burned chillies. Drooping and nearly dying. Have had to soak them all with the heavy loads of water. The chocolate and orange habanero have both been doused and placed into the ground with fish blood and bone. Couple of the bengle and Dorset Naga leaves were nipped beyond repair, so have been taken off. Think the pretty purple is a write off, and possibly one of the California wonder sweet peppers.
Really quite devestating, in underestimating how hot the poly and Wendy can get. Jamaican jerk and scotch bonnets have also been stuck in lots of water.
I’ve had to water everything twice a day this week and even then have just caught some of the plants in time. Hope they recover!
I don’t do chilli peppers, but I feel your pain 😦
Hope they will be okay!
Thank you, Cath, I appreciate that
I hope so. Think the one California wonder has died a death. Pretty purple don’t look too happy
Shame but at least you have plenty which may survive.
I hope so. Would be devastated if there is decimation
Yes, it would be devastating after all your time and effort – and not being to actually eat them.
