Pepper Plants Baring Fruit

It's been a few weeks since our last post and the peppers are really multiplying. It's exciting to see your work start to payoff as we are getting very close to harvesting time for many of these peppers on the Alejandro farm.

We added a new shot of fertilizer to the irrigation and moved to a 3 times per day watering as we get closer to harvesting.

Pepper Leaves Turning White

After planting our peppers to there final location we started to see the leaves turning white. We discovered that this scalding was due to too much sun light. Our plants had started to go into a shock and we need to com up with some sort of a remedy.

We decided to act fast and we ran down to the local home improvement store (Lowes) to pick up some portable umbrellas to provide some shade while our peppers acclimate to their new environment.

Our peppers were grown in mostly shade from germination to juvenile. To move them to mostly sun was quite a shock and hopefully we caught it in time and not lose any plants.
