Hi,
I'm quite new to edible gardening and this year I have grown from seed some Californian Wonder Pepper plants and a Scotch Bonnet plant. I noticed recently though, that they have a lot of black flies on them and some of the leaves have curled up slightly, so I bought some insecticide spray - "Westland Bug Attack Defence" - the only thing is that rather foolishly I sprayed the plants and THEN read the instructions only to find a line of text which says (not to be used on edible plants) - D'oh! Now I know that some plants are probably more affected such as lettuce (?) but how critical do you think this may be for pepper plants which are only just at the flowering stage?
