We’re always looking for ways to improve the site and welcome feedback from our readers. Lately many of you have asked for a place to share photos of your plants — to help diagnose diseases, identify pests, or simply show off your peppers — so we’ve set up a dedicated space for that.
To make sharing easy, we’ve started a group on the popular photo-sharing site Flickr. The group gives members a central place to upload images, discuss problems, and offer advice about growing and caring for chillies.
If you’re not familiar with Flickr, it’s a platform used by photographers and hobbyists to upload, organize, backup, and share photos. One of its strengths is the ability to create groups where members can pool related images and hold focused discussions. We hope our Flickr group becomes a helpful community resource for identifying issues and celebrating great harvests.
Here are some suggestions for the kinds of photos that are most useful to share:
- Your growing setup — so others can see how you’re cultivating your plants
- Your chilli harvest — to share progress and successful results
- Unidentified pests — clear close-ups help with accurate identification
- Possible diseases — photos of affected leaves, stems, or fruit aid diagnosis
We’ve created the Chilli King Group on Flickr so readers can pool their chilli photos together and continue the conversation in one place. Join the group to upload images, ask questions, and offer tips to fellow growers.
