My simple and small setup helps establish plants ready for the outdoors. (CFL 125W & 2 x computer fans in/out airflow) The cupboard is about 400x800.
I have just put down some Bhut Jolikia seeds and some orange habs..the two in the small pots I am not sure what they are so keep posted for the mystery - any guesses?

I have ordered the seeds below and will post progress if anyone is interest.

Long Dragon

Good start so far.  I grew big jims this year for the first time and was amazed at the heat and SIZE they packed.  Wasn't expecting to get peppers almost 8" long!

good luck

Yes I did get a little carried away with the fish emulsh. . Funny thing is I put this brothers sister in my greenhouse a week ago and it's almost double the size (did upgrade the pot/soil etc) So might throw him outdoors also.

Hey mate, started when they had there first leaves right out.. just a smidgy though.

[Mezo]

When do you bring them inside? month? i was told today down the produce store it gets pretty nippy here in winter.

Mezo.

[frenzix]

Heyo, I don't really bring them indoors for winter - it doesn't get that cold really. I havn't seen a frost at my place for 5 years.
I just use indoors to keep the conditions under control and to germinate over winter.

I was chatting with Kerry in the store today & telling him about my chili`s etc, im right now as i type re-potting my Bhut`s.
He said its a bit late to be doing that for starters but i thought it was OK, still stinking hot & good growing condtions.

I was asking him about the cold (being my first winter in the ranges coming up) he said we have had quite a few years of very mild winter lately, but,,,it has been know to get down to minus eleven here in the past.

Perth is lucky to get down to +1 or +2 on its coldest night & frost was never a concern in the five years i was living there.

So heres a "newbie" type question, will these plants die off this winter or keep on growing? in Perth they went right through no worries.

Mezo.

[frenzix]

minus eleven ? hmm i doubt that very much i have lived around here for 8 years and never experienced that or anything close... could be different if you are up at tenterfield and the likes. But where you are I would doubt that.
I think 3 degrees is the lowest i've seen. BUT I have been wrong once before.
