Mitch,
Thank you for your most informative tips. Your photos are amazing,
thank you for sharing.

We use large quantities of pine needles on our home landscaping,
and have over decades of gardening.
In our opinion pine needles make fine mulch but unfortunately do not deter slugs.
Although better than pine bark nuggets, slugs love to hide under nuggets.
Best wishes from the Tar Heel State!

Hi SP,

No problems thankyou for the kind words.

Thanks very much for the info on pine needles. I think I will use them and go slug hunting at night. Plus I might wait till the plants are a decent size before planting out this time round.

Cheers

Mitch

Thanks mate, you are welcome. I hope the pods start coming in for you. I had a douglah that busted out tonnes of flowers, but couldnt get one pod to set for the season. I am overwintering it at the moment. Good luck! Cheers

Thanks for some great tips, and I love all of the photos. I am always looking forward toward the next season and deciding what peppers to try out, and this is making me lean toward the 7 pods.

No problems I am not familiar with miracle grow, sorry. But I dont think it would have perlite in it. It will probably have some slow release fertilisers, but I would put some perlite for drainage. Chillies love good drainage

Thanks Stefan The Yellow 7 is easily my favourite plant, was the first time I have grown it and I got a bunch of hot delicious pods I am also trying some 7 pot browns this season (apparently they are brutally hot with a differnt flavour), if they hurry up and germinate
