I’ve got a few jalapenos that are on the small side that have been corking for a while. I’ve had a few dozen grow a lot bigger than these ones without any corking so I’m wondering if I should wait for these to grow more or if this is as big as they are likely to get.

Edit: I’m not asking if I should let them turn red. I’ve been going for a mix of green and red because I like both. I’m asking if these have stopped increasing in size because they are quite a bit smaller than a lot of other ones that weren’t corking.

I just noticed the leaves on my jalapeno plant is starting to get these black spots. The plant has been doing great so far, I’ve harvested about 30 peppers and there are another 20 or so on it. It’s only the leaves toward the top that have the spots. It’s been warm the last week or so but not very hot, like mid 70s-low 80s. It gets sun pretty much all day so I’m wondering if it’s getting too much. I’ve been using a 5-1-5 fertilizer once a week. I’ve also had a handful of flowers die in the last week but there are also a lot that look healthy. The main thing I want to know is if this is an issue I should worry about and if so what should I do.

I just noticed one little spot on my jalapeno plant where the leaves are wilting. Like like 6 leaves. All of the other leaves look good and I have lots of peppers and flowers on it. I’m giving it plenty of water. I’m wondering if I should be concerned about these leaves. Should I trim them? Any advice would be great.

This is my first time I’ve grown jalapeños so sorry if this is a dumb question. I’ve read that they will turn black after being fully grown before turning red. I’m wondering if the black spots toward the top are the start of this. I don’t really know how big to expected them to grow, this is the biggest one, so I’m wondering if the spots mean this is how big it’s going to get. It’s about as long as my hand is wide. I’m trying to be patient with picking them so I’m trying to make sure not to do it too early.

I have about 4 jalapeños this size and I know they still have some growing to do but I really want to use them for a recipe on Saturday for a bbq. I only need 1 large one so I figure 2 or 3 would be enough but my question is will they taste good? I don’t mind picking them before they are fully grown because this plant is gonna produce more than I’ll likely use anyway but I don’t want to bother with them if they won’t taste good. If they aren’t as spicy as they should be that’s actually ok, most people who will be eating it won’t mind it being a little less spicy.

I wish I’d taken a pic before picking it, the unpicked pic isn’t the same as the picked pic, but there was a bit more of this radish showing than the one in this pic when I picked it just now. It seemed ready based on what I’ve seen and was showing above the soil as much as ones I’ve seen people post pics of so I thought it was ready. But the radish is really small. It’s a baby bell, according to the seed package anyway, so I was expecting it to be bigger and round. Did I pick it too early or is it just kinda small? I planted them in a container and thinned them when they sprouted, they are about 2” apart. Any advice would be great.

My P1 motion sensor started going crazy last night and I can’t figure out why. I have it outdoors in an area that gets no rain or direct sun; I know it’s not meant to be outdoors. It worked fine for abut a year and suddenly yesterday it started detecting motion nonstop. I thought maybe a plant I had moved was blowing in the wind so I moved that and it didn’t help. Then I thought maybe a spider was in front of it but I cleaned all of the cobwebs that are near it and it didn’t help. Has anyone had this issue before? There’s absolutely zero motion where it’s aimed, not even sun light setting it off because it happened all night.

I just noticed some holes in a few of my radish leaves so I started inspecting them for bugs and found this guy. I moved him far from the plant and didn’t see any more but I was wondering if there’s a way to prevent them from coming back. Any advice would be great. Thanks.
