Hi All,   Simple question - once the body of the BG7 fruit has actually turned red, how long before the calayx starts to change colour ?   My single plant has plenty of ripe fruit, but none of the calayx have changed at all.   Also, all the fruit look the pretty much the same to me so I wouldn't...

Hi All,   The seed for both plants came from a trustworthy member here.   Of the two plants, the one that produced the pod in the photo is quite large and it's very healthy - it's in a very large raised garden bed, and in fact the primo plant is immediately next to it, and just look at that pod...

Hi All,   Here's a photo of my first ever Carolina Reaper (amongst good company).   I think it's showing it's Habanero heritage as opposed to the 7 Pot Primo in the centre and Yellow Morouga Scorpion to the left.     I can't say I am impressed with my Reaper plants - I have two growing and only...

Hmmm, the fires are still burning - it was declared a major emergency days ago and the losses of animals and property has been substantial, i.e. 12,500+ Hectares !   Managed to get some shots for HDR photography and have done some early processing:       Nasty, just nasty.

119 before the fire started, which has been going for more than 24 hours now.   Got the notice to evacuate at approx 1:45am this morning because the fire front got to within 2km of the suburb boundary.   Gathered the necessary stuff and was gone in a flash !   Come back home about lunch time to...

This thing has become rather nasty and an alert has been issued by the fire services (just before midnight) to take shelter ....   Not much sleep tonight I think.   Just down the road hit 119 deg F I'm told.   And, storms predicted tomorrow with dry lightning, expected to set off more fires.  ...

Eh ?!   Pink Tiger has Bhut x Pimente de Neyde parentage ?   I have a big example growing now and starting to pump out some lovely pink/purple pods, but they have Bhut written all over them in shape, and always have. Not sure of what F number though. Starting to wish I tried some of the Pink...

Hi Mike,   Stand tall.   Stand so very tall.   You did it.   No matter what else happens in your life, remember that you did it.   In the words of Ali G - "respect".   Regards,   Tim

And now, from a different 7 Pot in the backyard comes the "double whammy" !  

...... you get this !   (7 Pot Douglah in my front garden)   Now, to do my best to see it through to pollination and find out what happens next  :think:   T.  

That will teach you for going anywhere near my Brown Morouga !  

Oh :censored:  !   The next one is coming through right now .....   I'll try to get another photo without getting struck by lightning !   Regards,   Tim

No mass winds this time... Phew - the plants are safe !   T.  

Thanks chaps.   I pulled up a chair and watched its behaviour for a short while.   With the twitching antenna and rapid start/stop movement, it does look like a hunter indeed.   Here's another one:     I'm using a Canon EOS60D with 15-85mm EF-S f3.5-5.6 IS USM, and ISO100 for the above shot...

    Can't say I know what it is - probably 4mm long at most.   Seems to have a liking for my 7 Pot Jonah and hasn't done any damage.   The diversity of insects I have seen this year, especially around this one plant, has been noticeably higher.   Regards,   Tim

I seem to recall Nigel reviewing a *really* hot pod that started life as a Yellow Morouga cross ....   Wouldn't know anything about that one would you Mr Hill ? :rofl:   Sarcastically yours,   Tim

Hey Nigel,   We've seen your choc BG7 aftermath video, so can you try that one again and include the "headless chicken" this time around  :D    Good stuff, and I dare say your tears would have more capsaicin than the average orange habanero !!   With your ability to continue to describe taste...

Another severe storm coming .... Time to batten down the hatches

And people think Egyptian hieroglyphs are hard to read ..... ;)
