Congratulations on the new babies. I know exactly how you feel, becoming so attached to your plants and the frustration of watching all the flowers drop. I have the same problem with an orange hab and iv'e concluded its numerous causes. High daytime temp, too small pot etc etc. Good luck with...

Hi Guys, Does anyone know were i can buy a good reasonaby priced meat thermometer online? I have looked on ebay and amazon for no luck, either nothing available or dont deliver to Australia. There must be an online store somewhere i just cant find it. I just need a little help in finding a...

Thanks everyone for all your help.

How do you season a CI pan? I got one as a gift and dont use it much because most things stick, must be because it's not seasoned. :doh:

Just looked at a weather forcast for the next week and the prediction is at least four consecutive days of 40C (104F) :onfire: :onfire: :onfire: What can i do to protect my plants? I have shade set up for the ground plants and i can move the pots but it's the air temprature that concerns...

The Thai inferno has very good fruit set. Next is the birds eye with some flower drop. The hab has yet to set a single fruit all flowers are dropping but i think that maybe because of a 40C xmas day the first day flowers appeard.

Seeds arrived today, thanks very much megamoo very generous. Big question now is do i start some or get a good start for next season? Once again thanks very much. :) :)

The same has been happening here in perth. We're not getting rain but consecutive 38C days. So thats what i figure is the problem. Plus i might over water a bit.
