I bought some more gravel and filled all the gaps in the sleeps hopefully this will keep the enemy out. Perfect opportunity to tidy the plants up too and cull some weedy ones.

First a killer beetle now a slimy snail

I just found a slimed up chilli plant, then I found a big snail hiding. It quickly took a flying lesson.
I blocked up some of the holes between my railway sleeper base with some gravel.
I’m going snail hunting tonight.

This manky plant which I thought was dying, has some tiny red chilli’s. I don’t fancy eating them though.

Orange chilli eating beetle 0 – Chillifingers 1
May 11th, 2009 · 2 Comments · 2009 Chillis, Chilli Enemies, Chilli Pictures, Growing Chillis
I noticed some of my chilli’s were being eaten.

I chopped it in half [...]
