I haven't seen any caterpillars on the plant itself, nor have any of the leaves been eaten. I will certainly see if I can find out anything about pepper-eating caterpillars though. I would love to know what's causing the holes.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-11349712214788363972009-06-22T10:33:59.720+01:002009-06-22T10:33:59.720+01:00I've had problems in the past with little gree...I've had problems in the past with little green caterpillars eating into my peppers, but I haven't really pinned down which species they are.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12544410769085683224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-30597167870932991912009-06-17T10:35:54.393+01:002009-06-17T10:35:54.393+01:00I've heard the Hampton Court Flower Show is lo...I've heard the Hampton Court Flower Show is lovely, I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time Maureen.<br /><br />Thank you for visiting my blog, Ryan. I'm so envious of you having hummingbirds in your garden. We've visited the Caribbean a few times and seen hummingbirds there. I remember the first time I saw one, I thought it was some kind of insect, they're so small.<br /><br />No, I've never been to the Chelsea flower show, Kat. I always watch it on TV though. I love local garden shows, as you say, there are always lots of enthusiastic gardeners there and you tend to pick up bargains or great snippets of advice.<br /><br />I've never seen a slow worm, Steph. I've heard lots of people say that they've seen them on their allotment so I'm keeping my eyes peeled.<br /><br />I still haven't found out the cause for the holes in my peppers, Avis. I think you're right about the brown patches on your tomatoes though. Irregular watering or calcium deficiency causes blossom end rot, however, this usually occurs on the bottom of the tomato rather than near the stem. The holes in my peppers don't look like this though, they're pronounced holes so I think it must be some kind of pest which is causing them.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-20829531573824762142009-06-16T08:28:07.708+01:002009-06-16T08:28:07.708+01:00Hi Jo,

I'm not sure what's wrong with your pepper, but I had a few tomatoes on one plant have big brown circles near the stem before and I think I read somewhere that it was due to irregular watering... Anyway, I was more diligent after that and it didn't continue on future tomatoes, so the problem may just clear up as you get more peppers.

Have you ever been to the Chelsea Garden show? It was wonderful in the 80's and got better each year. <br />Congrats on the new tenant for your pond. <br />KatKat_RNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14008977319279272365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-62882786019533828032009-06-15T01:10:40.771+01:002009-06-15T01:10:40.771+01:00We had a hot lips in a container for a while and t...We had a hot lips in a container for a while and then gave it to a friend. Our hummingbird was furious with us and boycotted our garden for a while so we had to get another. I thinks its our hummingbird's favorite flower.ryanhttp://drystonegarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-2344401123876932672009-06-15T00:50:54.770+01:002009-06-15T00:50:54.770+01:00What a lovely day for going to the Garden show.

I would love to have gone there but we are going to RHS Hampton Court Flower Show in July. <br />I hope you sort out what is damaging your peppers. Your leeks look great. Mine are in very large seed trays all spaced out and growing well, like you I am waiting for a bed to be freed up before planting them out.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540591998909116816noreply@blogger.com
