Man you guys are soo far ahead... I'm not starting until maybe August... we haven't even gotten proper winter weather here yet so I can't start just yet
Not yet... being in Western Australia we hardly get frost and we haven't yet this year. So I still have some time left :)
But yes all outside apart from one scotch bonnet plant
long time between drinks here.. been super busy and also the fact it's no longer light when I get home from work now...
But there is the first two harvests
I'll hopefully take some pics over the weekend... bugs are getting to alot of my chillies, tons of holes around..
also made some chilli...
Just a thought. but black shade cloth sitting on the plastic would be counter productive right?
I may be wrong or the sun may be different here but you may need to raise the shade cloth above the dome so the heat can dissipate from the cloth?
I know this is a crappy answer, but I had the same issue. You have to walk your dog more or find a way to keep it entertained. That's the only way I've found to keep it out of the garden.
Either that or build a wood fence or something it cant get around.
