hahaha...you're on form tonight Mezzzz! :dance:

Hey Gas...yup...looks like that green leaf-hopper! Anything to worry about, or harmless?

Brilliant! Didn't think of that... Sometimes it's the simple things eh!? Well, i have had a productive few hours here today. On the other side of our house there's a small area that we never know what to do with. We mow it...the grass grows back....we leave it...then we mow it again...then...

Hi guys! I've spotted a good potential growing space on the other side of the house which is as of yet unused.. (yey!) But to clear it i had to remove a load of ivy (grrrr!) and whilst getting rid of it i came across a few strange looking insects and just wanted a heads up to whether they are a...

Wow! That looks really odd! I have no idea whether it's ants or spiders or whatever....but if you can see ants around the plants, then it's a good guess it's them. Recently i was advised to use ant sand around my pots, and i've not seen any near them since. Maybe worth a try?

I can see why people asking questions that are easily found with a search would be annoying for the more seasoned members of the forum, but I must admit that, as someone pretty new to growing stuff, I find it really valuable that people bring topics like this to my attention...as more often than...

Hi all! Well, it's up & down weather-wise here at the moment. One day it'll be 27 degrees, and the next day back to 15 degrees and raining, with night temps down to 5!!! It's kind of normal in VIC i guess, but i just want it to make up it's mind to make it easier for me and the plants...lol...

Hey Doc! It'll be interesting to see how you go with that lot indoors! I struggled with only 20 or so, but you've probably got a bit more room than I had? I don't blame you though, as i found that growing indoors really took away that winter boredom, and I'll deffo be doing it again next year...

With the plastic lid thing, i'd just cut a couple of holes in it with a knife....job done. I have one of those, but mine has got 2 little slidey things on the top to let air out / not let air out....and i've never used it closed. So a couple of holes in it, approx 2cm x 2cm should do the...

classic description... Personally i'd remove them K The wind has been ferocious lately here too, and i know Mez has had major wind anguish too.

Some seeds it appears you just have to wait it out! Pimenta De Neyde was about 90 days for me, and i know Meeeeeezo had a few Bhuts about the same waiting time!

Yeah, they're looking so healthy there! Wish mine looked that good!

Hmmm, that's not a creature I'm familiar with Stick, but then again I've not been in Australia that long, so it could be! Anyone native Aussie care to comment on that one? And yes, I can now see how a fan can help in this situation... Still learning every day here, and will take on board for...

Sorted ;)

Hey Mr Hombre... No idea what makes the leaves go like that, but i've got heaps that have done the same. When i posted on here regarding what the cause could be the answer was to ignore it or pull them if they get past it! The advice seems to have served me well :) Oh, and i have mail for...

Many thanks for the heads-up Mez...will whip to zee Bunnings in a bit and sort it..

I had one flower appear on my Manzano Yellow whilst it was indoors under lights, but i needed to trim the plant back as it was getting too big for my limited grow area. I moved it outside and rehomed it in a pot about a month ago, and it now has it's final home in the garden. The spot it's in...

No. That's a bad thing yeah? If so i will be sure to keep an eye on things! I'm dreading aphids already, as i've read so many horror stories from you guys!

Hi guys.. I moved one of my larger pots earlier and found quite a few ants under it, all carrying egg things by the look of it. I got rid of them but wondered if ants are a potential problem, or nothing to worry about and to just let them get on with it. I can't find the post now, but i'm sure i...

Ohhhhhhh yessssssssssssSSSS! I was deffo waiting for this one to appear! Hoping to pop round sometime this week if poss, as I've been out of hot sauce for longer than is acceptable! Will give you a shout.... Looking forward to the glog Grant!
