Hi all, finally got round to snapping some of my plants. This is my first serious garden year, I grew a horrible tasting multi coloured ornamental and some sickly birds eye types a few years back. I'll call this a mini glog because I don't know how often I'll be updating it. Anyways on to the plants:
This is the one that started it all, I got it online because I was buying a couple of coffee trees and wanted to pad out the order. It just said "habanero" on the site, no idea what kind. When it got here a couple of months ago it had 2 baby peppers on it which I pulled off to promote growth. They had no heat at all but maybe that's because they were so young.

These are the seedlings still in seedling jail, the tall ones are deArbol Blood, the front ones are orange scorpions and the ones in the back are 7 pot Jonahs. I planted NagaBons exactly the same as I did these but they never came up. Some of them have black leaves, not sure why.

The mysterious grow corner...

These were a late addition, found at Bunnings when I went in for some more dirt: Red Scotch Bonnets

And this is a corner of my main garden (very small), the only chillies in it are 2 Thai type birdseyes in front left of the tomato and 2 deArbol Bloods in a line behind it I just put out. The rest of the garden is tomatoes, okra, beans, lettuce, spinach, dill, coriander and eggplant all crowded way too close together.

I've also got a sickly jalapeno I'm keeping shaded, seems to be strengthening, a Tabasco and a few more deArbols in pots that may or may not take. This is my set up year, not so much work to do next year and the soil should be improved by then. Depending on how my grow bags and pots go I may put a few more in the ground. Planning on saving seeds from the ones I like(if I actually get pods), not going to isolate so I'll grow those plus some new ones next year. Sorry for Iphone quality photos, I drowned my camera in its underwater housing a couple of years ago.

Not from seed, but still the first pod from my garden! I was fingering the flowers thinking how many have dropped off and how long it's been flowering with no pods and when I turned it to get to the back I found this one and one other hiding in a leaf :-)
