Hi all!! Sorry for the delay in posting!!!   Here's a few shots from tonight!   OK, first up....these are the plants that somehow survived the winter here. I planned to properly "over-winter" them, and cut them back etc...but truth be told, i did absolutely nothing! (oops!) Out of the 60 or so...

Many thanks Stickman!!!  Oh, and for the record, i couldn't get any of my Macedonians to germinate this year, which is bizarre as they were the first to germ last year and there were lots of them!! I guess they are a bit fickle?! lol   And if anyone can answer the question whether last years...

Argh!!  Really sorry for not posting more......   We have had a new arrival in the family during August......      Big welcome to Ollie   :)         Chilli stuff is going well too!!  Quick question though......    bearing in mind that we have had temps down as low as -4 here.......am i safe to...

  Hi Tatts! I'm nearby, over in Lara (near Geelong!)   Hey, it was my first year of growing anything from seed last year, and i still have pods in the freezer from what i (as a total noob) could muster :) I was going to say...regarding giving up on seeds....some of mine took just over 90 days to...

Welcome....from VIC :)

Hi Tatts!!  I'm slightly closer to Melbourne (by about 20 minutes.....lol) Any guesses?   ;) Good to see another VIC on here :)   (bugger...just spotted that my LOCATION under my avatar kinda gives the game away....lol   Nee = Not the sharpest tool in the box) hahahahaha

Hi all!   Sorry it's been so long since posting.....i keep meaning to, but then get sidetracked by something or other...but i thought i'd better start a glog for this year before i become sidetracked again!! Sorry there's no pics as of yet, but they will follow in the next day or 2!   OK......  ...

  Receiving the best advice for your plants from a forum is always going to be a really hard call, as i have discovered from my first grow last year. Posting pics of your plants helps a little, but as everyones grow is different then it's so hard to get a 100% firm answer on what the problem is...

LOL...I'd say the fact that someone like Bakers Peppers is stating to do it, then that would be enough evidence for me!!!   ;)

How good is your potting mix? I had huge problems with my first grow as my plants would be looking great, but then i potted them up and they would all start losing leaves / going yellow etc. It turned out to be the potting mix i was using. I switched to a decent brand and problem solved!

Hi all!! Sorry for not keeping up with my glog, but it's not really gone as well as i'd have liked, hence the lack of updates! I HAVE got peppers....and enough to keep me going throughout winter, but nothing like i expected. I have been keeping up with other peoples glogs here, and personally...

Hi Moo! Quick Q..... My Pimenta De Neyde has a few pods on it now, but i was wondering how you tell when they are ripe? Do they change colour at all?

Hi Stick.....yeah, the Manzano's are a funny bunch aren't they? From memory, my Manzano's were a pain to get going too....and even when they were looking established, the flowers would all drop off rather than pollinate. I guess it makes it all the more special when they do though :) I have a...

Nice one!! Keep me posted on the Macedonians as they were really fast to germ for me :) OK, i haven't posted many pics for a while, so here's some from today :) After spraying for possible broad mites, the new growth seems to be going ok. Not all of my plants seemed to suffer, but a fair few...

Next year....i will be harvesting this amount......!! Well done Meez

Which country do you reckon infested us with mites and aphids?.......grrrr Maybe the flight attendants didn't spray the plane hard enough that day.... double grrrr!! :D

The quarantine laws here are so strict compared to where i originate (Cornwall, UK) I can understand that they are keen to keep pests out of the country, but it does seem a bit overboard. I remember the first time we visited Australia, and about 45 minutes before we landed there were 2 airplane...

Thanks guys! He picked it up after watching a few Youtube video's of the college kids playing beer pong trick shots etc... Never thought anything would come of it, but it goes to show that something can come from absolutely nothing!! Anyway, after a much alcohol fuelled celebratory weekend...

Holy moly!!!!!!! The crazy stuff continues here in Australia for us!!!! I submitted one of my sons old ping pong tricks videos to Channel 9's "Australias Funniest Home Videos" show late last year, and totally forgot about it... My wife received a phone call on Wednesday to say that our clip...

OK, here goes! I have sprayed my plants with some Yates Lime Sulpher and have fingers crossed.... How often do you guys repeat the process, bearing in mind the fact that as you can't easliy see them it's hard to know if they're gone or not? At least with aphids you can kind of see what you are...
