Hey Frenzix.... I spotted "vw's" amongst your interests in your profile, but wasn't sure if you were into modern stuff, or the old stuff!! Loving the bus mate.... My first car back in the UK was a 67 Beetle, then a 69 lowlight bus with a hightop roof. Kinda got out of the whole VW thing in the...

Bizarre!

Hi Mez! OK, recently i noticed a few of the plants were going a bit yellow on me. So after browsing the forum for a while i decided that they were lacking in iron, so i hit them with some MG tomato fert and the new growth seems to be green again as opposed to yellow, and in the last day or 2 i...

Deffo on my "things to take note of and apply next season"! Nice one :)

I can appreciate your excitement...as i was the same when i first spotted my first seeds sprouting! It's an amazing thing :) I started my seeds during the winter here in Australia, under lights, but didn't use a fan. I can see the advantages of using one, as when my plants got bigger and spring...

Well, it's felt like ages since i've had anything remotely interesting to post here! I check in daily on this site, and see the rest of Australia seems to be well under way with their grow, and yet even though i started way sooner than most here, i am still yet to witness anything remotely like...

Early on in the spring i read a few horror stories regarding ants, and that it was best to keep them away from my chilli plants, so i whacked a load of ant sand down. But as the season has gone on, i have since witnessed the ants coming back, but i have kept my eye on them and have yet to find a...

As Australia is a fair bit ahead time-wise, i just wanted to wish everyone on THP all the best for the Christmas season.....and a good New Year to boot! It's now Christmas day here, so i'm off to put our youngest's 'Little Tikes' trike together after a lot of vodka's......wish me luck eh...

I'm with you 2!! Just the thought of eating something like that octopus makes me want to vomit.....and then there's the SMELL of seafood....argh!

I'd just ask them if you can plant some in their garden and be done with it! I can't imagine they'd say no if there's no shortage of space, surely?

Hi all! Well, it looks like i'm finally getting some pods through that appear to be of a decent size...and better shape. :) I found a few of these earlier on my Fatalii plant...you kinda have to hunt for them as the pods are currently the same shade as the leaves, making them really hard to...

Great looking pods Gas!! Wish mine would start bulking out a bit as all of my pods except one, have so far been tiny. Tasty...but tiny! Im really hoping that they will start getting bigger sometime soon!

HAHHA!!! Naaa, can't say i ever tried that one Mez!!! As for having Christmas in the Summer nowadays, we've gotten used to it now. We hated the first Christmas here, as it just didn't feel "christmassy" ...but don't mind it at all now :)

I spotted a bit of an anomaly just now with one of my plants. The seed came from my 7 pot red x yellow from Grant, but i have a few of these plants on the go, and this is the first pod i've seen this colour. The other plants are producing pods that start dark green and turn red, but this one is...

Sorry to hear of you guys battling with these fruit flies :( I'm touching wood (hmm, does that sound bad??!....lol ) that we don't get a lot of fruit fly action down here in VIC as they sound like a PROPER nightmare. Nothing of huge significance to report from here....other than the pods seem...

Hey up Bernard! Looking good there mate! The Fish Eye is looking way more advanced isn't it? Good stuff :) Nice to know DnR as i was planning on this being a Christmas prezzie...and although the family are getting used to me cutting fresh pods in the kitchen, a 24 'stench' of drying pods may...

Ahhhhh! Didn't think of that!! It's so obvious now you've said it though!!! Thanks :) Will try that

Hit the nail on zee head there Jay. I had a load that seemed to be getting nowhere, but as i have a few mature plants to tend to it took my mind off the smaller ones....and before i knew it, it was potting up time for the newbies.
