    I don't get them, I always run an adblocker programme. It works quite well, especially on facebook if you have it, you can select sections where you don't want ads, it's a brilliant programme.    This is a link to the one I use, and I have chrome as a browser. https://getadblock.com/   Edit...

I'm always impressed with your Scotch Bonnet collection John! Looks like your plants are thriving, they look absolutely amazing. I see a lot of flowers, have any of yours set yet? How's the weather in England? Better than last year? 

  I vote YES for videos! 

Wow, I'm amazed you're growing nearly all of the ones I am. Most of my other ones are still small, they were sown end of January. The Aji Oro I sowed last year in June, so I thought it should be about time. It's lot a few tiny buds, and it has lost a few flowers that I pollinated for sure. We've...

Oh, now that I have a few pictures I want to share a side project I have with you guys.    I have a friend that lives in a flat, and in their court yard they have a bunch of allotments, one of which is hers. She has a few things on there that were there before she got it, a rhubarb bush, some...

    I sure hope so! I just wish I could start harvesting now! I think my radishes are a week or two away from being harvested, so that's nice at least. I would have thought now would be the perfect time to plant garlic in Australia, but I might just be making the mistake of assuming your climate...

  Cheers! It's the first time growing beans for me, I think some got a little sunburnt initially, but they seem to be doing fine. Fruit trees are amazing, there's so little effort involved in growing them and the yields are insane. 

  Thanks for checking in!      Yeah, it can be sunny out, a little cool, I'll have both windows and the door open and as soon as I step into the greenhouse I'm still boiling. It's an odd one, but I mostly have heat loving plants in there, so it should be fine. I'm growing aubergines for the...

I was repotting my aubergines into their final containers, finally.    Most of them had been in 1 litre air pots. Two of them were moved into a 6 litre air pot, only bought two of them, they are new for this year, I'm trying them out.    Nice roots there.    If the airpots do well this year I...

  Hmm, I guess this will be an experimental year for me then.    I'm growing Río Huallaga Rocoto, Locato, Mini Rocoto PI 387838, Peru Bitdumi Rocoto and Aji Oro. All from pepperlover. I chose them because they're all meant to be early producers and not fussy about climate. The Aji Oro is the one...

Wow, it's insane that you already have ripening fruits! Can't describe how jealous I am, mine are only just about to flower. Have you tried eating any yet? Will you post reviews this year as well? 

Cheers!    Onto raised beds!    I caved and bought onion sets, mine from seeds look miserable.    This is another early leek, I planted this nearly two months after the first, the idea is to get a somewhat continuous harvest. They were looking a little short and cramped, so I potted them up for...

You seem like the right person to ask, do pubes have different preferences for what temps they'll set fruit in? Or light preferences, or something? I've had a bunch of flowers that I've been hand pollinating, but no fruit seems to set. I have other chillies, bacs and fructs that set fruit in the...

Right, I've not been as good updating this thread. We've had some absolutely amazing weather here lately so I've just spent a lot of time outside. I'm going to try and make up for it, a lot of things are happening in the garden now.    I'm trying out a balcony grow, so far I've only got three...

That was amazing! 

  Cheers! Mine is flowering but not setting pods which is annoying. 

  Cheers! I think I underestimate how long the soil can hold on to water when the plants are in big pots. When they were tiny seedlings I had to water every few days, not watering for two weeks seems odd.      Thanks! The pubs are new for me this year, I have high expectations. You may have...

It's been a while since I did an update, so I figured it's time. We had amazing weather where the highs went to 30C, and then a brief cold spell where the lowest temp was 3,6C. I think we're coming into a warm spell again. I potted up 16 plants today, only 3 left now, I just ran out of soil.   ...

Wow! I'm super impressed with the system you've got going in the greenhouse. It looks so neat! What size are your pots? I think I have the identical large square pots, but without any sort of wicking system, I just like them because they use the space more effectively than round pots do in my...

    WHOA! That's one HUGE balcony!
