When you mentioned better in storage do you mean in the fridge to use fresh or when drying? Thanks for that harry, good to know it's a trait of Tabasco's. And cheers for answering my hypothetical question...would be sweet if they could regrow from the calyx! :P Joe, I am now picking them by...

Tom, I'm glad my post was helpfull, good luck with your seeds in the future. :surprised: I have only had my original plant a few months so have not seen any suckers yet. I read that the curry tree can be propagated that way and hope to give it a shot also. Cheers, mudsta

Hi all, I thought I would share my experiences with the curry tree and plant :rolleyes: Here is my curry plant (Helichrysum italicum) These are fairly cheap from a nursery but are pretty useless for cooking etc. They have a great strong aroma of curry powder and make a good pest...

Hello hello all, I have a couple of questions regarding my new tabasco plant (1st season)...but cant seem to find my answer doing the usual forum searches. It's my second season of growing our firey little friends and I currently have the following with pods: Serrano Thai Bhut Jolokia Trindad...

Ferrero, Ive been following this thread for a while and love the updates! Must say....OMG! Those couple pics above are MAD! Sweet sweet pepper porn!! :dance: Have you figured out what variety they are yet? Happy Growing! :P Cheers and beers, Mudsta

Wulf, No worries, will give it a try and see how it goes... Cheers!

Ive been using 1/2 strength Chilli Focus on my new season seedlings with very good results...Can any of you tell me at what stage could I ramp up to the full strength?? My seedlings where started under fluro and are currently on my window seal 'hardening off'. Most are up to 3 sets of true...

Just started germinating my new strains for the upcoming 2012 season! Woo Hoo! :)

WOW! Awesome looking plants capsicum! I starting to germinate some cayennes yesterday (winter here) which will be destined for containers. If mine end up looking anything like yours...I will be a very happy man indeed :P

Geeme, I have pulled off every leaf that was "over watering effected" and any that looked damaged or suspect. Since moving my pot under the verandah it looks like it should recover even though it is dormant. :dance: Pablo, After stripping all the suspect leaves I have done a full plant spray...

Dr Cres, Thanks for your soaking solution recipe and the extra trick with the match box for stubborn seeds. :P Now...I have a couple of questions for you... 1. How many times should the seed be rubbed against the match strip? Just once?? 2. Would there be a similar grit equivalent on...

Awesome! Thanks Pablo (and everybody else) :party: Too much water should be an easy one to cure as it's in a pot. Will keep it under my verandah and repot with better drainage soil etc ASAP. Would you suggest cutting the dead parts off the leaves? Or dont touch them?? Dave, No my 2 x...

Fellow growers... I'm based in South Australia (S 35' lat) and my first season is now drawing to a close for winter. Amongst other varieties I attempted to grow a Bhut Jolokia (rookie mistake!) and didn't have very much luck. At the beginning and peak of summer my plant looked lush and green...
