So I think it has become obvious that my garden is an absolute shit show. Aphids bloody everywhere.
At the end of this week I am going to chop this girl down and give her a wash in Hydrogen peroxide, lemon juice and then water - hopefully that will clear out the mess the aphids have made.
@Ryder,
Bugger, that is something I didn't consider here. Running an average of 67% humidity all year round and I'm about 50 meters from the sea. Lets see how it all goes.
@RustyStarbuck72,
Mine was slightly deformed too when it popped out of the soil, but it has grown strong and doesn't show any deformity anymore. Lets see how it turns out.
@RustyStarbuck72,
Thanks mate. This is my first one and so far so good. I've been playing around with the LST this week, you'll see the pics in my next updated diary.
@Ryder,
Absolutely bloody spewing mate. I gave her a good hose down and we'll see how it goes. If she survives til harvest, I read that you can wash the plant in bicarb soda and lemon to kill them off before hanging for the dry.
