Wow, Marc, that is one impressive grow list!
And it will only get bigger, I just love growin em, I wish the season was longer.
I will start all of the pubes in Feb.
Somebody's been busy. 
Thats incredible SG! Roughly how many plants do you have? Cant even image 10 acres with hot peppers. Taking over oz. I did a google search for the oz chilliman, cant find anything. Is this your hot sauce company? If you have any crook schemes for the US let me know I am more than happy to become allies.
Another one of them wierd Aussie words, "crook" means ill or unwell or sick. I dont know exactly how many chillies I have, I will try to have a count.
Yeah most of WA is sand, especially along the sou west coastal plain.
Strange aussie words and yes I am getting better should be good as new by the end of Feb.
Yeah lazi, The Oz Chilliman is my company name. Like AJ I have the website name and I have also trademarked the name and logo for sauces, condiments, cheeses etc and also for plants, seeds etc. had to do a couple of separate TM applications to cover all of the possible products.
Here are the seedlings that were planted 13th Jan. Rough and ready in trays round here but hey it works well.

A lot of the seeds planted are part of a growout and some are pretty old but I give them every chance to come up. After 3-4 weeks on the heat pad they go into the shade house and stragglers keep popping up for up to 6 weeks or so.

Pretty easy I just wait until I think that all in that row have germinated, then with a sharp knife cut down both sides of said row. Then slide the knife underneath and lift the whole block out. Then I just pull them apart and transplant. Dont lose any that way they all transplant fine.
I said in another thread thats its just like the old days when you bought your vegies seedlings barerooted from the nursery. They were wrapped in old damp newspaper with an elastic band around them. You just brought them home split them up and transplanted them into the garden. Same goes with most veggie seedlings including chillies. They are tough little fockers.
It is still 42.6 degrees C outside and really humid because we have a Tropical Cyclone Bianca bearing down on us. The line its taking has it hitting Bunbury Sunday morning. Bunbury is about 280kms
south of us. We live about where the uppermost part of the grey area is halfway between Perth and Jurien Bay. We should get lotsa rain out of her.
Tropical Cyclone Biancas predicted track.

A couple of the seedlings in the pictures above look wilted but at 43C+ I wilted a bit when I was out there too. I gave them water and I gave me
