@Mitwah posted:I made a powder from dried habanero. I sprinkled on the baigan and at the base of the baigan plants. I sprinkled some at the top of the fence. This works for me.
In the evening, I water the seim with Dawn + veg oil and spray under the leaves. My Ochro was not growing. So I moved them and watering them with lemon water since they need acid and I can see some progress.
With Karela, pick one flower and go around and touch the other flowers. This will trick the plant into producing fruits. Remember to pollinate the ones with baby Karelas.
With the plum tomatoes, cut pieces of cardboard and place them under the fruits so that they don't touch the soil. Feed them with egg shells or mix "tums" in water and give them a drink. The calcium will prevent the fruit from rotting at the bottom.
Poi will love the shade.
Thnx a mil Mits bhaiya..i will definitely save tips for next yr ..insects eat out the poi leaves…we r surrounded by huge trees..pine, maple n i dont know wht else..the yard isnt good soil either because the tree roots r there..(we r at corner house of main rds) ..plus d neighbor had plenty big trees lining her fence so as soon as the sun leans in the afternoon..there is shade…n in morn the house shades theback ..so we get abt 3hrs full sun in the back yard. Cant plant in front yard (where the sun shines for sun up til sun-down because folks will just walk off rd n pick (they do that with apple tree shichis at the side of house and the INDIANs walk into the yard with plastic bags n just pick my ROSES..dont even bother to ask!! They fill their plastic bags n breaks off the roses n damage the plant. I would open the door n look at them..n they just walk away without saying a word. I feel bad to say something because i know they use it for prayers plus they r old MEN (n women too) n i doubt they understand English)
