So, thought I would start a glog of all the other plants I got growing that are not chilli. Still love chilli to bits and all but I've kinda shifted my focus onto other stuff for now. Wanna learn to grow some new/different plants, experience specific herbs in all their variations, and yeah...

Man Overboard (short story) by Winston Churchill:   http://www.darkromance.com/gothic-arts/gothic-literature/classic-gothic-literature/004-man-overboard-by-churchill.html   :shocked:

Intros... something I'm not good at. Instead I'm only giving the quick low-down this time ('cause it's my glog and I can :D). Basically, I've started this season with a whole bunch of hybrids that I've been playing around with and will be moving on to C. chinense and some wild species very soon...

Why the hell is my Fatalii doing this?? I know what it looks like (broad mite), but I'm quite certain it's not for a number of reasons. Firstly, after several close inspections, I have yet to detect any on there (and believe me, I can spot the buggers a mile away!). Secondly, there is none of...

Well, Spring has arrived here in the Land of Oz and it's all starting to happen. I thought I would quit being a lazy bones and start a glog this season. Even though I'm so far behind where I had planned to be at this point, things are running along smoothly enough. I released some Neoseiulus...

Paul.... where are you? Has anyone heard from Pepperfreak lately??

:bday: mate! Hope you have a fantastic one! :cheers:

:bday: mate! Hope you have a great one! :party: (Just got in by the skin of your teeth but July birthdays are the best! ;))

Went to dig up one of my plants to move to a new home and discovered this: Any ideas? Probably best just to dispose of the thing, eh? :(

Australian seed vendor. Not a huge selection of seeds but great quality. Of the two varieties I have so far grown from WFC seedstock, I ended up with nice, healthy plants (including one of my best growers last season), true to type. Great germination rates too! I will not hesitate to source...

I know, I know... could open the floodgates and where do you draw the line? Organics, Hydroponics, Aeroponics, Aquaponics, Phonicponics........ But just an idea.

Has anyone ever added something similar to this to their potting mix or know much about this sort of stuff? Naked Farmer Organic Soil Activator I'm considering giving it a burl but I'm wondering if perhaps it would be a tad bit overkill in a 1 part compost / 1 part composted bark mix. Opinions?

I recently noticed I have a ghost cat on my wall.... You can only see it in a certain light and from a certain angle. Freaky, huh? :scared:

OK, photos aren't that crash hot as it's dark outside but any ideas? (The white spots are dust that has been wet and dried on the leaves...) This one (C. chacoense) has me worried the most: Not sure what is going on here but the leaves look a little mottled to me and the plant...

Anyone know anything about Water Ager? It removes chlorine and chloramine from tap water for fish tanks, and was just wondering if anyone has used it for watering their plants? I guess my main concern is, say, if I used it in conjunction with liquid nutes, would it kill them too?

I discovered something weird on one of my plants today that I've never encountered before.... Any ideas? I'm really not feeling good about that mottling! When it first started happening on this plant, I thought it was just "the usual" (*sigh* - broad mites have got yet another plant) but...

Does this look like well composted manure? I'm just not sure of the big chunks. Are they normal? And can they just be broken up and it's good to go?

Well, the weather has been so beautiful here the past week, I've been putting my little guys out in the sun for six or seven hours every day. Beautiful mild Autumn sun and a nice, very gentle breeze.... it has been perfect for them! :D Then of course, after hours, it's back under the...

I have decided to try my hand at some cross-breeding next season and after having a look at the capsicum crossability matrix on the Fatalii.net Breeding Guide, I was wondering if anyone could help me out and expand on two of the keys: NG (F1 hybrids germinate normally) and PF (F1 hybrids...

This last season I grew PepperLover's Wasp and to my surprise, one of my plants is producing yellow pods! (they are supposed to be red!) Here's the colour they are supposed to be (hope Judy doesn't mind but I pinched some of her pics): My last harvest from my other plant was a...
