Had some good sun today and hopefully cold nights are behind us now. Half way with plant out and all is looking good for this season. Was going to do it all next weekend but desperately running short on space in the tent. Added some anti-Jack Russell reinforcements so won’t come home to...

Looks like everyone is gearing up nicely.   Jaques - At least the Citos ripen pretty quick compared to the Amarillos. I'd say you'll have some colour in about two weeks.   Mine has been spending a couple of hours a day over the weekends out in the sun, but soon she will go outside full time (no...

Looks like you going to have a great season Bob  

  Should be good to plant out within the next week or two and fortunately found good homes for most of the gals.   I probably have 15 left that didn't sell, but I will either gift them or experiment.   It's weird, but can't bring myself to culling .

Previous tent phot was around 98 plants. Next two photos are the chosen few for the season so around 30 in the tent (last weekend and today) Give them space and they will spread their wings. Peppadew in the foreground suffered some sunburn. Overzealous on the exposure last week. Sent...

It’s almost like the plants know it spring time and that they need to start gearing up (even though they have been indoors). Progress has been good since potting up and we now have some flowers getting ready to bust out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Been scarce due to commitments and as a result poor plant has taken a hammering. Firstly didn’t take well to repotting so decided to plant out into garden and winter decided it was not done so got a bit of frostbite. She will pull through no doubt with weather getting favourable but on how much...

All engines firing now so next weekend we will have a sell out to make space and then only about 3 weeks till they go outdoors. Thanks for dropping in and keep on growing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Brilliant work Jaques.   Plant looks great and so quick to flower and pod.   This will be interesting indeed.

Repotted the Cito this morning to get ready for some African throw down. Can’t let Jacques have all the fun now can we. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Those that don't sell will definitely end up being experiments. I hate culling plants especially after caring for them for so many weeks.   Can't wait Jaques. The weather is slowly getting better and we at around 5C minimum at the moment.   Now time to brew up some more Juju compost tea

Much happier with growth now and only 4 weeks to planting out.   Progress is on par or slightly behind last year, but I blame myself for trying out the Osmocote.   Progress since 21 AUG   Plants as at 5 OCT Last Year   Thanks for stopping by and keep on growing

Plants are all doing much better in the new soil. I topped mine last week and the new growth is starting to come through nicely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They would certainly benefit from a topping. One thing I will say is that it will test your staking skills as it grows. They dont have the strongest stems and due to their sprawling nature and prolific pods they get weighed down quite easily. I topped mine once last year, chucked them in the...

Things starting to pick up now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thought the Gals would appreciate some Mama Sunshine. Table is only big enough for about half of them so getting ready for big sell off or cull. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At $20 a bag hardly worth the results obtained. Held water far too long and growth was as though it had zero nutrients. Almost like it had lockout. My theory was to use a good quality potting mix with sufficient nutrients to last the season (Osmocote states 10 months). This would have made...
