Belindas Back Yard Gardening - Pak Choi Red

Hello Everyone, Welcome to Belinda's Back Yard Gardening where begginers and expert's are welcome. Who likes Pak Choi and who has tried Red Giant Leaves?  I tried growing them for the first time last year and I didn't have good results as Aphids got the better of them and they seemed to like certain plant's in my garden, Pak Choi and the Brassica family of the plants in my garden.  I managed to get the Brassicas under control using πŸ’― organic pesticide which I will give you a guide to along with blasting water onto them as they are a soft body insect that usually does the trick once blasted off of the leaves they find it very hard to reestablish and that's usually enough to keep it under control.  So this year I thought I'd do something different so I tried some red actually and it has become very successful.

Capsicum or pepper a genius of flowering plants in the nightshade family Solanaceae. Bell Pepper Chilli pepper Hello lovely people, how are you all doing and what are you growing?  Here is my first pepper from seed this season 🌢️🌢️🌢️  Who else is a chilli geek and if so what varieties do you like?  Do share tips, ask questions and if I can't answer it one of our lovely people here or on my facebook page will.  Last year I grew two varieties and this year I have grown about 12 pepper plants with different varieties so I'm looking forward to harvesting them.  I also have a pepper plant that I've had for many years that produces a lot and I am able to leave it out during winter and it perks up in the spring. Let's just say I may have gone a bit overboard with my chillies this year!  Have a great day and if no one's told you they love you today I D...
