Peppermanbaha - I've never tasted a goat pepper, so I'm really looking forward to trying this variety from your country. 
Hey Patrick! Thanks to you for getting me started, mate!
Nate, we do indeed get some strong winds, but I introduced all of the plants to the elements fairly gradually, so perhaps that has worked, but when they were small, I'd lift a wall of shade cloth around the table to help break the force. (Ha! Tried that last week but the bloody wind blew my poles down! Of course the shade cloth works like a sail in higher winds...Thank heavens damage was minimal, and a graft was performed on one of my CAPs that needed it)
Early days yet, Pepperfreak. LOL!
Hey Rich! Thanks, man!
Well, the first baby hit the soil in the garden today, and is an unidentified Serbian Sweet Pepper from Boutros ~ Thanks, mate! It's in pride of place next to my swimming pool...
With luck, I will have 90% of the plants in the pics in the ground by next weekend. Horse poo is in place, as are fences for the dogs, the soil is tilled and aerated, and trees have been cut back and composted for light and nutrients respectively.
I've found a good source of seabird and chicken guano, as well as a new supplier of growmix, which now costs me 8% of what I was originally paying. I add perlite and vermiculite and the new stuff becomes every bit as light and fluffy as the first.
