Comment on Veggie garden update – the secret to peppers by Deems

Hi Ruweida. From my experience you need to keep your soil well fertilized. If you have planted Peppadew types of peppers nearby they will cross pollinate with the Bell peppers and they to will stay small. Hope that helps.

Thanks Steve. Yeah I saw it first on Phandroid and then later Lifehacker posted about it too. I followed the comment thread on the XDA forum as well to see people’s initial reactions (as they’re a lot of devs and tinkerers, I put more value on their comments).

There are some mixed reactions to Seeder on the S3. Some say they notice nothing others say the minimal lag they did have is gone. I think that might differ based on what ROM they’re using.

Yeah, the Desire’s hanging during install is a huge pain usually and I’m very pleased with its responsiveness now during installs.

On some devices I believe it’s possible to also revert the rooting on the phone switching S-OFF/S-ON so that if you do need to return it under vendor warranty you can.

Thanks Koukla – like I said I was skeptical at first but got excited when I saw how it actually worked (blog post was written just after 2 in the morning and published later)

Nice review. I saw posts about this but it’s good to see a review from someone you know that’s using hardware you’re familiar with. I’m impressed by the fact it can fix the Desire’s hanging while apps install. With some apps being laggy even on my otherwise speedy S3, this gives me the first compelling reason to root my new phone.

Hi Ruth,

Two years later and we’re still planting green peppers (and this year peppadews as well) and we’ve not had the problem you’re experiencing. We do however not add fertilizer often (only before planting the seedlings in the garden). It could be that you’re perhaps over-fertilizing them or the containers are too small? Hope that helps.

Yes, in this hot Cape Town weather they need water often – I usually water the garden in the morning and evening. I also got my seedlings from Stark Ayers and Stodels if that helps – perhaps try a different source for seedlings.

I am growing peppers and chillies in pots. The chillies are fantastic – had the first one at the weekend. So far the pepper flowers and you can see a small fruit forming but then it drops off. Am I doing anything wrong. I water my pots every night in this hot weather (Cape Town) and fertilise once a wek with the food that I give my indoor pot plants.
