  Brrr ... that looks freakin' cold, geeme!   Can you keep that in the northern hemispere, please! I'm pretty sure they said on our local news the other night that only 2 states in the US don't have snow atm, Hawaii and Florida. Does that sound about right?

A few ant macros.   Having a drink of water:   Cleaning its antennae:   Swallowing some really small critter:

All I know is that the seeds came from The Chilli Factory. Overall plant colour is very dark / purple. Plant shape is almost identical to my Jalapenos. Oh well ... let the wait begin :P

I've got a few Yaki Blue that are just starting to put out pods.   Flower shot:   Little pod shot:

  Fantastic capture, mate :party:   Can't really I.D. them from that but it appears to be 2 spiders of the same sex (I'm guessing male) so not a mating ritual. Did the spider that is onscreen at the end walk away or was it 'off to spidey heaven'? I'm thinking it was fine? To me, it appears to be...

  The wasps are pretty much the 'apex predator' around here, they massacre all other insects and spiders. I love the jumping spiders, they have soo much personality, they are so cool!   Shh, don't tell anyone but I actually talk to the jumping spiders as I'm photographing them, tell them to...

  Haha ... I'm spewin' ... I couldn't find any hot pink bags :shh:

^^Learn2EmbedImages ... n00b!   Pfft !!! ... at least my bags match my spandex flares :dance:  (inside joke, everyone)

Interesting video, Jim.   Maybe I'm just becoming more of a cynic the older I get but does organic gardening really need to be this complex? You would have to sell your entire canna crop just to be able to afford to buy their range of supplements ;)   KISS - keep it simple, stupid.

You've got to be a bit careful with peat moss, when it stays damp it's great at absorbing moisture but if you let it fully dry out it will be extremely hydrophobic (repels water) unless it has been treated with 'wetting agents'. I reckon 75% peat moss is way too high. It's either going to absorb...

  Intensive Care Unit ?? ;)  yeah, that's pretty much where a close-up of a wasp would put me :party:   But seriously, that's a mighty fine shot, lighting is excellent, makes the SOB look evil !

  Great shot, SR! Not a big fan of the wasps tbh, they kill off all my jumping spiders!

  I'm pretty sure it's ok for anyone to use the term 'Carolina Reaper'. I think Ed copyrighted "Smokin Ed's Carolina Reaper" so your not able to use that name without permission.

Awesome work with the testing, Aussie. :dance:   Hopefully one day, there will be a breakdown on how the different capsaicinoids effect the 'heat profile' of peppers ie: pure heat vs sting, duration of burn, immediacy of burn etc.

Nicely done, Aussie!   How many grams of dried pods do you need to perform these tests?

  Love the bird shots, Chris!

  Haha ... yer I guess it could fly and accidentally stab you in the eye with its long pointy beak ... and the eye wound could turn septic ... and then delirium sets in ... and in your confused state you could stagger onto a highway ... and get cleaned up by a greyhound ... bus! So yer, you're...

Some Australian birds. (yay ... some Aussie wildlife that won't actually kill you :p)   Eastern Spinebill:   Red Browed Finch:   Eastern Yellow Robin:   Silvereye:   Juvenile Striated Thornbill (this little guy is only about 2 inches long):

Mighty impressive, Swampy. :hot:

Looking great there Aussie and MiLK_MaN, awesome haul, awesome plants!
