Well this last grow season iv been pretty busy, so at the start i decided not to plant any more seeds and just to try and over winter some plants from the year before. This is how those over wintered plants look this afternoon.   Manzano Amarillo out front on both sides of door, ULTRA Pubes...

i found these guys on one of my pepper plants a day or 2 ago, there were all in a clump next to a lattice of white empty eggs. i THINK they are baby ladybugs, just thought id get a few more opinions in case they are not. If they are lady buys ill pop them back on my peppers. since i found...

There seem to be lots of different ways to germinate seeds and everyone seems to have their favorite, i thought i would try a comparison of several different mediums and see if i can see a difference. The starting mediums i decided to test are: Jiffy Pucks Seed raising mix (the blend i used...

My current camera is a PITA and the auto focus flat out refuses to take any closeup pics. No matter how i have it set the camera needs to be at least 50 cm away from the target. This make trying to take pics of flowers, pods, etc, all most impossible as they just come out as a blob. can anyone...

As its not to hard to keep track of a seed collection of say 10 or 20 variaties this is mostly a question for those of you who grow lots of different peppers from lots of different sources. how do you keep records of what seeds you have? from who? from when? how many left? excel sheet? some...

quite a lot of my peppers are starting to get curled leaves with the brown bits on the underside (mostly the plants outside), some of the plants have also got just the brown bits with no leaf curl (yet). form looking at some of the other threads im suspecting it may be mites. any ideas?

A bit of background. I had these seedlings in 8 cell trays in a cupboard with clf lights in it where they seemed quite happy. the mix in the seed trays wasn't very good so I potted them up and put them on the bench about 4 " under some fluros. For the first day or 2 they looked fine, after...

Ello all, time to start 2012/2013 Glog, well actually its quite over due. For this season i built my self a germination cupboard. and it looks something like this. as you can see its just an el cheapo flat pack cupboard that i bought 2nd hand, it then has 4 batten holders per shelf. not...

this year i ended up buying a couple of plants form my local hardware, i was just wanting to know can i save seeds from these or are they likely to be hybrids or something strange? . btw the plants are caysan, red hot cayenne and orange hab.

some of my plants aren't looking too good. most of the newer leavers seem to be puckering and a lot of the edges are going raggedy. if you look at the back right leaf you can see the spots in it and rough edges this one looks eaten, not sure if its related to the others looking bad. in this...

Dragon Berry Preamble/Rant It was a nice day today so I went for a ride on my motorbike down to Anglesea and had a look around the market that was on. While I was walking around looking at all the stalls I came across Grant (JungleRain) with his sauces and stopped to have a chat. After a good...

Hi guys, im looking for some info for this type of bug i have found in my garden. they are usually just under 1/4 " long and look like the guy in this pic. quite often when you see then they are walking around with 2 of these guys joined together tail to tail. i saw a few of these guys...

Has anyone ordered from http://peppermania.com before, iv just been browsing their selection and they have a few interesting varieties

here we go my first grow log. im a bit late starting this so this first post will cover the last couple of months. I was a bit unorganised this year and didn't get my seeds germinating as early as i should have. So to give me some other pepper types and something to do while i waited for my...

This may be a silly question but one i have yet to be able to find the answer for. Why are Jalapenos neally allyways eaten green (In Aus at least) ? i dont think iv ever seen a ripe one in the shops, or pickled in a jar for that matter.
