I thought I would share the Succulents and Cacti that I am growing - This wont be a really active thread - They grow slowly.   Cacti and Succulents are cheap in South Africa - Really cheap. I recently bought 25 Cacti for R205($12.77). They were not that big but they will grow nicely. Because...

Best of luck with this season! 

  I plan to take up his offer, BUT, I want to make sure I can grow some hab's, Serrano's and cayenne's from seed before I start growing the more exotic (and expensive) peppers.      Now for the weekly update:   The Jalapeno a.k.a "Evergreen":   The pod is still green, BUT as you can see there...

  Hope you have a great on too!     All I can say is WOW. Thank you soo much for the offer, BUT I feel as though at this moment it would be a waste of your seeds. I am still learning at what stage of germination etc to take them from the paper towel and put them in the cup. I think I am putting...

Lovepeppers, Thank you so much for your advice and help. I do appreciate it a lot and hope that my previous post did not come across as defensive etc.   I don't have a fan blowing on the plants that are outdoors. The ones outdoors are regularly moved into sunlight and get a natural breeze...

    Thank you so much for your input, I will keep an eye out for aphids, the only bugs I have seen are rose chafer beetles(at least I think they are, the bugs are small white/grey). I will do my best to keep them dry and I am hoping for some hot sunny days Durban is known for. And I will do my...

Really appreciate your answers BlackFatali.   Using the tapping method I seem to have had some success with the Jalapeno.   It seems to be getting bigger and is firmly on there.   There also seems to be a lot more Buds sprouting.         I ended up buying some of the Thai Chillies.   6 for...

Ah bugger, Really should have gotten them then. oh well will have to get them later.

Another question I have, The Nursery had "Thai Chilli" seedlings 12 for R12 ($0,72). What are they likely to be and should I think about getting them, Or do people think  I have enough at this stage. Don't want too many too quickly.   Also small update.  The 10 x Habanero Seeds in 5x Styrofoam...
