24/5/25 - Another Calcium feed to all plants in bed. Watered in the evening with shade (2nd this week). Leaf curl seems to be subsiding on the 'Tomohon Market' Chilli's nicely. Also gave a Magnesium Sulphate folio spray to all. (2nd this week). |

11/5/25 - All Plants have many chilli's growing. Large well shaped (still green). I removed all the Red small misshapen chilli's. Possibly correct in identifying with lack of Calcium, and the 'Calcium & Boron' feed 3 days ago has promoted good fruit growth. |

20/4/25 - Light watering with tomato feed and also a calcium additive - assuming the earth bed has been washed of nutrients during the past 3 months. Notice leaf curl on the 'Tomohon Market' chillis which can be an indication of calcium depletion. |
