update-

We are now the first CHILLI ONLY FLORIST in Australia, we have been hired by a company chillipromotions.com.au to send out to there top 800 clients a fruiting chilli plant starting in 2-3 mths. So we have become the first to deliver fruiting plants in decorative format! heheh... this will be along side our MAIL SEEDLINGS. We are excited and busy!

Picked up old door and windows today for ends... and have decided on the even cheaper option of soil beds... Though still will have 100`s of pots in there too.
So off to kenards hire tomorrow and get me a cutter..... mmmm could be a disater..
Most of my compost is ready and waiting, and seedlings coming along !
