.
We planted ours pretty close so they can grow into each other forming a natural wind break ✅

Yellow CAPSICUMS on their way 😋
.
We currently have a lot of capsicums growing on our plants of all sizes and maturity but the majority of them are still green but as we get closer to spring they are starting to ripen slowly but surely 😂

I was pruning back one of our eggplants and as I lifted a large branch I discovered this - a little colony of CAYENNE CHILLIS growing completely hidden and protected behind this large leafy eggplant branch. We wondered where the rest of our cayenne chillies were? 🤔

**** PEST ALERT *****
.
CITRUS SOOTY MOULD FUNGUS
.
This is predominantly caused by an infestation of SCALE insects who secrete honeydew. The fungus then develops over the honeydew giving it this unsightly oily and greasy looking black marks and smudges on leaves but can also appear on branches and stems
.
This fungus can potentially spread quickly on a tree thanks to ants. Ants feed on the honeydew and it is therefore in their best interests to protect and keep the SCALE colony flourishing by protecting them and moving them around the tree to reproduce
.
Best way to control the fungus is to control the SCALE population and this can be done by applying off-the-shelf or homemade oil sprays, neem oil, tree pastes or organic pyrethrum sprays. In extremely severe cases, it may be in your best interests to place some horticulture glue around the trunk of your tree to prevent the ants from migrating the SCALE to all parts of your tree
.
Once the SCALE population has been controlled, the sooty mould will dry, fall off or be washed off allowing the leaf to properly photosynthesise again ✅
