You guys from Australia complaining about your weather...take a look at these...taken a few moments ago:

Out our front window:

looking towards our driveway:

and...into our back yard...I grow my peppers under there:

Do me a favor and keep all that cold crap up in Canada for me. I'm just starting to get used to wearing shorts and sandals again.....
 
Im amazed that you can grow peppers there at all mate, thats unbelievable!

What was the temp when you took those pics?
 
-29 Celsius...about -20 Fahrenheit. It's been far worse, though...a few weeks ago it got down to -40 (with the windchill, of course.)

In the summer it goes up into the mid to high 80's...and higher, as well. It only stays like this until late March...or April. Plenty of time to grow peppers. It just looked so gross out I'd thought I'd share. :lol:

Lol Sheldon, I'm afraid you'd melt if you ever visited Texas or Australia in the summer. We hit 110 consistently with usually a couple weeks that will be over 100.

And crap, it's what about 1400 degrees right now over at Nova's house down there in Oz. :lol:
 
What kind of weather are you getting this winter, Txclosetgrower? I thought that everyone was experiencing sub-par weather. It's been far colder than normal for us (I blame global warming :lol:)

We seldom have temps go up past a hundred...though it's happened on rare occasions, but we do have odd 90's. We actually love when that happens. Australian temperatures are beyond my comprehension. How do the peppers like it that hot?
 
I would have been begging for that snow last week but has eased off a bit now....probably due to the cyclone that just hit land on the far north coast. I fear this years Habanero crop up there just got drowned again.

A lack of habs and beer?

There's never a lack of beer in Canada! Puh-Lease!

...And dried habs do the trick ... in a pinch. I still think I'll keep the snow rather than cyclones, hurricanes...earthquakes, tsumanis and whatever other places get.

Well, but, Bent asked what would be worse then no habs. And no beer *and* no habs would be worse. Even if it's not likely.

We only get leeetle, leeetle bits of those things. You, an earthquake that they have to announce because no one feels it. And snow that only sticks for about 12 hours or so. And hurricanes are mostly rain by the time they get here. And we have a nice long pepper growing season. So, there!

Yeah, ok, so our beer selection isn't the best, but we're working on that.

Sorry Pam -- I meant no offence. I always envy your fantastic pepper growing season. My peppers are just getting started when Summer winds down. Three weeks where the temperature never gets warmer than -30 really wears you down...believe me. I'm sure other Canadian members will back me up on that one...and some other "Northern" types.

Forgiven? :(
 
I was up in Canada back in 1978 and there wasn't any beer. Not sure if it was the breweries or the distributors that were on strike. It was terrible just terrible. Vacation was cut short.

Bummer about your weather PC. Just keep saying it will warm up it will warm up. Good luck.

Thanks Patrick. I actually remember the beer strike. We stocked up like cr-r-r-azy when the threat of a strike sounded. Afterwards we all wore t-shirts proclaiming that we had survived it. Good times. Good Times! :lol:
