My Big Mustard are bursting into life. Loads of buds and fruit growing really rapidly. Quite strange looking, crinkly, almost spikey, and a deep purple brown on the side that gets the sun.
The Reapers are suffering from flower drop. Plants are healthy, but once fully bloomed, shrink up, and drop off at the base of the flower stalk. Have been trying pollinating using a paintbrush, but no joy. Could it be I’m using pollen from chillis that are too far removed? I’m just swabbing from flowers with plentiful pollen, like Padron and Calibrian. Any advice?!
^Looking good!
