LOL, we've heard that one before!!! :lol: I meant to do exactly that this year...but then its a case of "well, i will start 3 off, just in case..." and then once they all get to a decent size you still keep all 3 "just in case something happens"....and then before you know it you've got about 3...

Thanks Moo... Yeah, i'm using that method for the teeny ones, but it's for the 'next size up'....where they are getting too wide for a 2L drink bottle, but too small to successfully stake.

Thanks Trippa :) It deffo paid to start indoors, although next year i'm probably going to leave it a bit later than March!! I'm thinking June / July is ample. The weather here is really up & down at the moment. I didn't realise, but last night got down to about 4 or 5 degrees. The plants seem...

oi you!!! lol OK, i was bored today and took a few pics of my baby pods.....nothing exciting, just more of the same really..... Freshly sprayed Fish Pepper.. A Macedonian Pepper ripening... Fatalii newbies... Bhut Jolokia Asaam's 7 Pot Red x Yellow...

It's a great feeling isn't it? I was exactly the same as you by the sound of it... Never grown anything in my life before, and when I had that lightbulb moment where I suddenly wanted to have a go, it was the end of summer....but I went ahead anyway! If you've still got it bad, you could always...

Hiya! You've found the right place for sure. The members here are so helpful and full of great advice. Good luck for your season...from VIC, Australia

Hi mate, i had exactly the same issue as you. I work during the day and not able to shift the plants around etc.. I started mine in the back porch and put some shade cloth over the window. After a week there i then moved them outside against a wall where there is only sun from daybreak until...

I'm not sure if I am right in saying this, but my guess is that an over wintered plant may need to be 'hardened off' after being indoors for the winter. When you put the plant back outside, did you introduce it to the outdoors gently over a couple of weeks, or did you just put it outside and...

Haha!! It's a Cornish cross accent now. I think i sound the same until l i speak to people back in Cornwall....then they comment how i do the Aussie thing of going up towards the end of sentences. lol Anyway....yeah...hmmm...errrrm.... I *did* consider planting the bigger ones out front...

Damn you Meez and your spontaneous humor....most of us have better and more serious things to do on here than find things funny....

Wow, great looking pods there Pia!!

Argh!! Sorry guys...not sure what went wrong there...i obviously hit the wrong switch! Hopefully this one's working!!! Pretty stoked today as i found one of the Habenaro White Jellybeans has finally sprouted after bloody ages of being sat on the nice warm modem. That was pretty much the...

HAHAHA!!!!

Thanks for the snail advice guys!!! Not a problem so far, but deffo handy to know all of this in advance!!

Were you in NSW or Perth last year Mez? Just wondered if it's because you are now somewhere a bit more 'rural'...? I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it sorts out for you.

It's been a fantastic glog Rick :) I've been following since i joined back in March.....apologies for lack of posting, but as it's my first year i was more keen to learn than post...and anything worth posting had already been said! Will be following the next one for sure, and look forward to the...

Jeez Meez...... Really sorry to hear that mate.

Spotting the first flower is a great feeling :)

Yeah i bought a couple of those bags from Bunnings recently for that purpose. They are only a dollar each too.. I've still yet to try them out though, as a few days after i bought them for the purpose i stumbled across a load of big pots for free at a building site. I too bought some of those...

Thanks for that mate :) Oh, i just thought of one more question regarding planting in soil.... Slugs and snails!!!! Any hints to keep them at bay? For the smaller ones i was going to do the old '2 litre clear plastic bottle over the top' thing...but i was thinking what i can do to keep them...
