Hi all,

I thought rather than creating a new thread each time I have drama's or queries with my growing adventures, I may as well set up a thread that has them all! No new drama's today and I am happily aphid free!!!

Currently growing: Jalepeno, Scotch Bonnet (3), Thai (2), Meltdown Habanero (2), Pequin, Peter Pepper, Purple Tiger, Zimbabwe Bird, Rocoto, Unknown(2)
Current seedlings: Scotch Bonnets, Red Habs, Bhut Jolokia and a number of unknowns.

updated pics below

check out my jalepenos!! I've got heaps of them!! just need to work out what to do with them!

Thanks for everyone's help so far! I'd have a heap of dead plants if it werent for all you guys!
 
Thanks guys! It was the Jalepeno that got all this craziness started :D Six months ago.. all I had was Mr Jal.. now my life is being taken over by chilli :D
 
GREAT looking plants, I hope some of mine look that good in a few months.

And what to do with them? FREEZE 'EM! And then you will have kilos of ammunition.....I MEAN ....inspiration for playing around during the winter.

:)
 
It's cold here tonight. I want to sit by your pool with beer in hand pulling ripe red jalapeno from the tree and munch them one by one. Can't wait till summertime. Mel make some poppers!!!
 
What is a "Meltdown" Habanero? Looks like a normal Habanero to me but a little bigger. PRF, I say we take a trip to Aussieland where it is warm, Mel supplies the Jalapenos, You supply the beer, I will do the BBQ'ing :D Good start though, keep the pics coming...
 
Title of the thread mislead me.
I was hoping to see some pics of you as a pigtailed girl, teenage stories etc.
But I saw your pepper plants instead.
They look great.
Keep it up.

They are Patrick... but thinking back on it now, they probably arent.. i ate pretty much a whole one of the habs and only a tiny piece of the douglah.. might have had something to do with it.. when i had the first hab though it burned for about half an hour.. with the tiny bit of douglah it would have been ten minutes max.. different burn though.. the douglah made me cry!
 
Plants are lookin' good! Nice work.

My favorite is the mystery plant though. Always like having a mystery plant or two myself.
