That really stinks losing that much. But it beats having bloody Possums. I'm only growing small varieties tomatoes because fruit fly always seem to ruin bigger tomatoes. I'm sure I will end up with fruit fly problems but hopefully not to Febuary. I may have to bag my pods like you have.

I usually don't wash away old soil, because I think it is just easier to transplant and the plant will have less transplant shock. But then my seedling mix normally just falls apart, and I've found that the ones that didn't fall part are now having issues because the seedling mix is too sandy...

I went off eating chilli for afew years. When I restarted I decided just to buy some birdseye/thai peppers, and eat 1 everyday whole. First one I bit into I spat it back out lol, I ended up just eating a pod bit by bit til I ate the whole pod. After 2 weeks my resistance had increased to the...

From Lavatungs responce I would say he isn't using ferts at all. Does that include the likes of Seasol? Seasol can make a big difference to how much sun your plant can handle. (Wrote this before your last post) Your leaves seem to be yellow and brown around the edges too. Not sure that is over...

I'm still new to growing and I've not gone through pods dropping off of super hots (need to have pods inorder for them to drop lol). My understanding is plants, drop pods to reserve their energy, so that the plant survives. So if it is too hot, the plant is getting too much sun is one example...

I had a burger and two coffee's for lunch but need for the work we doing in the yard. How is a beer keg fancy, maybe they don't normally drink beer in Queensland. :rofl: If you have a aquaponics, hydroponce, or big expensive ceramic pots yeah thats fancy. Getting a keg (I'm asuming for...

Damn must the be dreggs of beer that are making that thing grow so big. I will have to start sharing my beer with my plants. :beer: One for you, one for me. :D My Butch T's are less then half the size of that. Think you will need to watch that keg doesn't get too hot once the summer starts to...

Yeah I learnt the hard way last year to not buy black pots. Hopefully next year I will have plants in the ground, can't wait.

I try to water my plants once the sun is off them. My plants in the sun to about 2PM to 3PM. I think pots could over heat easy once you start getting up to 40c.

My plants had deformed and crinkled leaves about a month ago. Some were also pale green. I'm not sure if it was thrips, or a defiency, some were root bound. They recovered on their own once the weather warmed up. My opinion is that you should only water chilli plants when their leaves wilt...

I love FNM, I've been listening to them since about 1990, and yes I'm under 40 years old. :party: Also listened to old Metaillica (Seen them live is 93 before they turned crap), Megadeth, Anthrax, Motley Crew, Pantera, Sepatura, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Foo fighters, mud honey, Alice in chains, and...

Heres a quote from Family guy :rofl: Tried to get the video from utube but couldn't find it.

I hate phones, and for that reason I could gladly go without one. But they do have their good points. Like when your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Or in cases of an emeregency. Honestly I use my phone more for surfing the internet then phone calls. I ended up getting a samsung galaxy...

This morning we had some cloud cover, I managed to get some gardening in before it cleared. I got myself stuck in the sun moving my plants about while mowing and pulling out weeds around my pots. Thinking about getting concrete blocks from bunnings and laying them down to sit my pots on...

Must be the carbon tax. :D My plants are doing great in this weather. This humiditity is killing me, don't think I'm going to sleep tonight.

I was out west Sydney today, was about 40c. Tomorrow out west is looking like 42c. :hot: Lucky where I live in the east. When I got home it was about 5c cooler. I got a feeling this is going to be an awesome summer. Better make sure we all drink enough fluids. :beer:

Well then...... I second it. :rofl: :cheers:

I think it is worth pointing out that the phone maybe stollen, and handling into police may help link this ahole to other crimes.

Don't worry your not alone, I had some thai chilli the other day that was hotter then I could handle, and I'm about to start eating Bih jolokia's. :mouthonfire: I think my tolerance has gone down over the winter. Well I think the best solution to this problem is jump in head first. I have a...

Nee, for a first season you sure have taken on alot of plants, and you seem to have really pulled it off. I've started my second season with about 10 varieties, and my head is spinning, I really look forward to learning what types of chilli I want to grow lol. Good to see your family is...
