Habanero flowering but no fruits? Possible causes: heat, water stress, nutrient imbalance, pests, shading or unsuitable pH. Diagnose before spending on fertilisers! More flowers ≠ more fruits. My advice: Investigate the cause before spending money on solutions.

IF YOUR PEPPER LEAVES ARE CURLING UPWARD, STOP AND LOOK CLOSER. 🛑 Don't waste money on broad-spectrum chemicals This isn't just "heat stress" ....it's likely THRIPS. For Thrips, you need specific active ingredients like SPINOSAD or LAMBDA-CYHALOTHRIN.

STOP SPRAYING INSECTICIDES When your pepper plants start looking like this. This is what I see most Amateur farmers do. This damage is mostly caused by mites and mites are not insects, Find and Spray Abamectin Pesticide

The potential is more than 2Kg per plant, something is Stealing your yields Figure it out.

Dry season is approaching fast

Same age different pot size

Life in Kenya

The nursery structure is done, Come and check how the inside looks like .. what do you think ?

Irrigation Setup on the 15 acre field is almost done. Possibly we will start planting our Maize Pepper next week

Open field farmers!!!!, how's the weather? Oh sorry I meant pests and rains are coming soon . I'm not referring to maize farmers 🤣

The land is cleared, the nursery is built, the tank platform is constructed, irrigation pipes secured, 2 boreholes are drilled trenches are being dugged out... Soon the MAIZE will be PLANTED. Let's give Maize the chance 😜

Maize farmers are saying pepper is not food🤣 Grow maize, we will come and buy some with Pepper 🤑😅

It's easy to Train people who are ready to learn. I just love sharing what i know for free But sometimes I charge 🤣

15 acres prepared for Maize, use your half plot and one acre to plant some peppers and tomatoes 😂

The Pepper Merchant is still on it. When it reaches your turn, grow Maize 😄

After the Vacation we come back to work hard to go back again 💪

When you leave farming for degree holders ... 😂

Pepper seedlings take 25-30 days to be ready for transplanting but the house is already prepared so Lettuce will cash out first before the peppers 😁

The Pepper merchant is becoming a tomato convert gradually.....
