Here's a picture of my sexy Rosemary.

Interesting link, thx for the tip. They seem to have alot of gear that I use in my work too. This plant is root bound, I do want to try re-pot this weekend but wasn't sure if it was a good idea if the plant wasn't well because of some other factor. Looked at the rootball, looks pretty damn...

Harry you know the saying where there is fire...... I'm not really good at identifying pests but I know aphids and ants come hand in hand. So I made the plant was moved somewhere, where the ants can't get back to it easy. I know won't hurt my plants, where with something like ant sand, I have no...

We get ants around our area that seem to have worked out that ant rid isn't a good idea. They look at it once, then walk away from it. I like the petrol idea. :D These are still new plants, I do wonder if their first pods will be their true shape, if you know what I mean. Honestly they stinger...

Their Nursery jobs so can't be surprised, I know it is hard to tell before they ripen so I will worry about it then. Will be using more reliable sources next year ;) . Don't worry about offending me, I'm pretty hard to offen lol. :cool: Actually these damn ants are doing a better of upsetting...

Damn that's some hot weather over there in WA. One of my plants was getting too much sun, and it was only low 30's. I watered it at night and the next day it looked worse. It had ants all over it, so I moved the plant into a shaded spot and gave the ants some neem. Next day the plant looked...

Someone I work with told me of a friend of his, who had an issue with Possums. The possums used a big tree branch to access his roof. So they cut the damn branch back. Next thing he knows he hears this massive crash on his roof. The Possums were taking a run off and trying to jump 20 yards onto...

Our soil is sandy, has good drainage. I want to keep them in pots so I can move them about. Good idea Nova, was just thinking about how the hell I was going to get enough potting mix to do this.

Basically it looked like someone had gone and replanted a different plant on top lol. The new growth has smaller leaves and they look a different shape and colour. Seems alot of my potted plants are now root bound, and are starting to grow roots into the ground. Is it worth repotting now? I'm...

Damn Gas, I thought I had alot of pods growing, then I see your wasps. I've been away, cameback to find that someone had somehow changed one of my plants. :shocked: My Orange Habanero looked completely different. It had doubled in size and because of all the new smaller leaves it looks so...

I'm interested in trying out eco-aminogro I seen in Bunnings about 2 months ago and thought about buying it but wasn't sure, and I was in a hurry so I left it. I used some Nitrophoska on my plants about 3 weeks ago, just spread on top of soil and water in, not a spray. ATM my plants are looking...

I'm growing some Zimbabwe birdseyes which I've heard don't mind colder weather. I would think Rocoto would do well too. This is really interesting, explains why my plants seem to do better in the sun now, than they did before, only been using seasol for about a month.

Could be from heat, although it hasn't been all that much hot weather here of late. When the sun does come out, their in the sun from dawn to about 3PM. The leaf curl has been like that for sometime and the plants don't seem to be affected by it. I'm just hoping that the flowers on my Habanero's...

Just went to get some pics, had to delete most as they were rubish, I had about 10 mozzies attacking me while I was doing it. Time to buy some Aerogard. These pics are of my Yellow Habanero Heres some pics of my first ripe pod that I ate yesterday. Was hottest thing I've had in awhile. Was...

Sorry to hear that Gas, I'm hoping the samething don't happen to me, my habs all seem to have some leave curling going on and I'm not sure what it is. Still the plants don't look all that bad, and most of my older plants are now flowering. So with any luck I will have Orange, Yellow, and choc...

Sorry to hear that Milkman, hope your plants aren't too badly damaged and survive.

I've been drinking beer all day, and having scotch shots inbetween with the boys without the Women knowing. :party: Funny my Grandmother asking me if I could taste the booze in the Christmas Pudding. :rofl: Need more Johnie Walker before I sober up.

Thats a damn good price compared to what I've seen, best I have gotten in about $6 each and thats without saucers. Hell I would say most places will sell you black pots at $3.50 each.

Still in my first ever season and yet to get any really hot weather and I do have some black and colored pots. I have a Choc hab in a black pot and a yellow hab in a colored pot which are about the same size (30cm) and from what I've seen so far the black pot does heat up easier. I'm not really...

Yes I do mulch my plants. The pics of my seedlings were taken before I mulched them. From what I've been told black pots can get too hot and heat up the root system. Personally I have not had that issue yet, but given the weather it is no surprise. Yesterday it was really hot here in Sydney and...
