Little Suckers

11 years ago

Made the second pick yesterday, and found mucho damage from stink-bugs. Earlier, they had pretty devastated the red tomatoes, but didn't bother the yellow pears or the figs. Yellow peppers like Numex Suave habs and lemon drops don't seem to be affected. Don't have enough red habs yet to tell. Lost about 50% of this pick. I tossed the real bad ones. As I mostly dry these Red Bhuts, the ones I've kept will be good for that, but cosmetically, they suck.

Looks like I'll have to spray Sevin or something containing pyrethrum. Only thing I normally use on peppers and tomatoes is BT, and only when needed. Here's some pics of the damage.

Left center has no damage.



This container is usually filled. Got one in there with BER...
