Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

they're only tiny (first leaves) - looks like they're coping well though.
sun came out for a few hours today - enough to see that the douglah has new growth of leaves & flowers *whew*. 7's are looking good with some evil dimply pods...ooooo the exitement of my first summer 7 
Habs and asian plants are covered in flowers, some full size Serranos popping out too
Of course now theres another storm bearing down on us. Boooooo. At least the dam levels are recovering.

Updates
"Father Tom" a fast growing disease resistant plant living up to its name. The plastic lattice was $5 for 3 M & worth every cent. Given recent weather, this plant should not be here.
6 more Toms that showed up in the compost - caged in & fruit everywhere.
Spuds didn't mind the recent weather - need another layer after only 2 weeks

A few problems....
The Orange Hab I got from Bunnings is looking a bit suss.
The Choc hab I've been waiting to ripen....someone got to it first {I'll do an autopsy & save what I can for a ham roll for lunch }
A tray of Dorset Nagas went AWOL - no idea what happened...the soil isn't around the tray...its just gone. ???
The 7's copped a hiding in the weather - a lot of top leaves gone
...still more pics loading

Thats it for now

Haha I like how during the time I was posting a message saying that everything was looking good you were making another post with bad news about the weather taking out plants etc. Hopefully everything bounces back for you. It is also pretty strange how the soil disappeared. Could the wind have carried it away?

hehe yeah timing is everything
I'm sure it'll recover, looks like we're settling into a stinking hot Oz summer. As for the seed tray...Its a mystery - no other trays or pots nearby have been affected - its like its been taken out & carried away. Good thing I've got about 60 Naga seedlings still going in other trays....but WTF???

Yea still frustrating but like you said at least you have a bunch of others. Good luck with things and keep us updated.

Woohoo, despite having really low water storages and the threat of going to Stage 4 water restrictions (meaning no watering garden at all), the Victorian state government decided to keep Stage 3A, which pretty much saves my chilli plants from a horrible dry death
Wish the water tanks were installed already, had 50+ml's of rain over the weekend, but they wont be installed until mid December

Bad news first - with all the crappy weather we've been having root-rot has set in on the 7-pots. They've lost most of their top leaves and today 5 fully formed but still green pods fell off.
Good news...the peppers for my next 2 or 3 days meals are worked out
Better news: while the 7's have suffered, a few feet away the Douglah has taken on a whole new life.
...You'll have to scroll back to see what it looked like a week ago.
