Repotting (again) - and aphids (again)

Hi!

It's been a while since I posted anything. It's not because of laziness. Rather because of the !"#¤!¤ aphids!

We have really been struggling with the aphids. I think it's about the same amount as last year. It was terrible. But I expect them to go away as soon as the plants are moved outside.

Today I repotted three more varieties. Black pepper, pimenta da Neyde and the Mexican chiltepin.

I will get back with some pictures later. Right now I don't think that they are so good looking so it's even worth taking a picture of them.

How about you? How do you experience aphids this year? Better? Worse? Or the same?

Regards,
  Mats

New member in the "family"

I am lucky! Patrik offered me a Pimenta da Neyde, and that is actually one of the varieties that I was hoping to grow this year. But none of my seeds germinated. So this is great news. Now I have a plant!

Here it is being unpacked and getting ready to meet the new "friends" :-) It is a cold day, so it was well packaged!



Hot regards,
Mats - longing for warmer weather :-)
