    Kiwi Grow Off - Heaviest weight of pods off a single plant

    Hey all!   It's been a long busy miserable winter for me and I'm well behind the 8 ball this season. I put my first batch of 60, comprised of just 14 cultivars down on the 27th August and had my first hooks on the 2nd of September. Which includes 4 of our competition Dorset nagas, 2 are up and...

    Not to mention being able to perform a passable Haka whilst drunk.

    You can knock the crap out of them with successive hosings using a shower setting on the hose gun.

    Curry????

    Curries are one of my absolute loves, I don't know how I've overlooked this thread! Tonight I'll be doing a wild pork vindaloo, I'll take a few pics and flick them up. I don't know if I'll be up to the standards already set here, some of those pics had me considering a curry for breakfast!

    It does kinda resemble an internal organ of some discriptioN, lol. The mrs is knocking up a chocolate brownie at the moment, she's split it in to two tins, my tin having two chocolate bhuts added. :D:D

    Just thinking aloud.... A year or 2 ago a service started in the states sending packages from Amazon etc to places that the seller didn't send. A halfway house of sorts, I think nz post (bless their incompetence) even dabbled in a system similar. Product mailed to local US address which is...

    I prolly can Rob. Swampy, nothing ventured, nothing gained. You've got nothing to loose by testing the waters. The bland Kiwi palette is slowly changing.

    I bought 5 reapers from the tarde last year from a $1 no reserve. There was no competition, I got them for $5 including postage and the dude was kind enough to throw in 10 fresh and 10 dried bhuts. I reckon the thing with chillis is value adding. I kept I touch with the guy I got them from...

    I'd take you up on that mate.   By the way, I have a chilli or two that I'd be happy to see reviewed!

    lol, I have a TM "yellow morugu scorpian" here too, it has fruit on it now, but it's such a sickly runted little beast, I would have knocked it on the head in Nov if Mrs DD hadn't have jumped in front of me and protected it. The pods on it do look narly though, like my "yellow bhut'. I have 2 of...

    Not at all swampy.    I reckon my Butch T's, Morugas, 7 pots and half of my red bhuts are all the result of a greenhouse "throw your keys in the bowl" night. With some John Travolta Habanero like character strutting and casting his seed far and wide. One of my Trademe "Morugas" with a Paper...

    Lol mate, tonight was the second time I've ever tried anything claiming to be a Moruga. The first was a few days ago.   I'm still convinced it's some kind of hybrid, it should kick my ass more than it did.     Trademe seed and all.   Most of my working life I've grown a few random chillis...

    I've had a few ups and downs with Aphids this season but they were quickly pulled in to line. I do use tap water, maybe setting up a rain catchment system for the coming season though, it'd be so simple. Alot of the water I put in house #2 sits in a bucket for 24hrs, which is suppose to remove...

    I checked out Ultra the other day after reading about it here and noticed the absent with holding period, I was wondering about that. I'm still undecided whether I'll go el natural next season again or meddle with some chemical warfare.
