An Update from Valley Grown Nurseries

Valley Grown Nurseries began on 19 December 2011 and we intended to plant up Palermo Red Peppers. In January, we thought that the plants were suffering some kind of deficiency and treated them with various additives, none of which worked. We later discovered in March, that we had actually planted orange and yellow Palermo Peppers. The varieties of coloured peppers grow differently, so there was no deficiency at all. Peppers, both orange and yellow are growing well and are between 10-14ft tall and yielding as expected. We are saving between 40-50% of the water and feed compared to the drip irrigation system that is next to our trial.
