Andres, my apologize, your a she. We have tons of those male/female names in our family, Sandy, Dayna, Adrienne, Jacky, but I guessed anyway. I figured you'd know why, if, the mistake was made. I like that one Ruth Ann pictured to, it looks like it Y's shorter than Charlie which is good for hauling inside and earlier blooms. Karyn - still mulling that over...lol. Yours and Kylie's offer. Despite the risks. I have so many seeds to wonder after right now. I should of thought of this before. Are your cuttings coming from last years growth? Jeff, (greenthumb) When I have the time I can help others with more details, it's time consuming that's for sure. Now it's spring, and the warmer zones get to greet spring, which also means loads of chores to do. Mine's coming soon. The lankiness is an indoor growing issue. Yep, I only did the 2 plants but I'd of chopped these down in another month just because they are that lanky when they're outdoors. I don't know for sure if they're stunted, them being different species. But as my big robust growing Charles Grimaldi's are also this way, equally so, and this one is said to be a robust grower to, then I conclude that it is somewhat if not seriously stunted - I call it bonsai'd, not something you want done to a big flowered plant. I could of waited a couple months into spring and compared any new growth to find out but these are pitifully lanky and I'm just waisting my plants energy. On the other hand, I've now deprived it of very beneficial leaves. New leaves coming up already though. That humidifier/mister is pretty noisy by the way - just one of those 1 gall type in an enclosed area. Thanks for the heads up on the Premier Pro-mix (BX) with mycorrhizal fungus already mixed in. I bought what it straight up for adding to plants already in the garden to. There isn't all the much in the little bags - 150grams. They say enough for about 10 smaller plants. I'll probably go skimpier with it. They want it to touch the roots of the host plant so I'll put it straight on some areas, rather than at the bottom of the planting hole as directed. Just experimenting right now. ;) - Sandy

As we all say, each to their own. I could not live in the tropics/sub tropics in a pink fit - I love changing seasons and would hate not to curl up in front of a log fire in winter and there is nothing better than being under a warm doona on a winter's night. We live in a very beautiful spot - Barrington, NSW with magnificent views and many people would think we are in Utopia. But in August we are going to visit Tassie to see just how bad the winters are - we were there in February and the coolness of the summer was wonderful. The quality of some of the soil is also an attraction. Barrington summers are disgustingly hot & humid (5days over 40degrees last summer) and gardening is impossible between 10.00 am and 16:00 am. All the gardens I fall in love with are always cool climate gardens and I would really like to develop one before my days are up. Richardqld - I'd love to exchange emails once you are settled in Tassie as it would be great to get the reaction of someone who has moved there from a warmer climate!

Thanks bmelz- received! Excited to get these sprouting. It's funny how every year I have a different pepper passion... 3 years ago it was the mexican varieties, last year was the caribbean seasoning peppers and super hots, and this year I am back to where it all started, the asian types. I guess it's whatever food I am into cooking at the time. Thanks also for the bonus seeds! I have my last choc bhut plant overwintered from last year just rarin to go so your seeds are perfect timing for next year, but I have never tried to grow cayenne oddly enough. Will do this year! Thanks again. Let me know if I can send you anything, I have tons of types of all veg pretty much :).

Since a question was asked....... I didn't want to sound like a Peony scrooge, so I edited out my comments about how my Peonies flower just as our temperatures soar upward, so I don't get more than a week's worth of blooms. Every year I think I'll get some beautiful photos, but unless I get them at just the right moment, nope. I also edited how they're a pain to cage them. I have the double ring hoops that go on in the spring, off in the fall, ....and then where to store those crazy hoops over winter that isn't a mess? I decided, as usual, that I went overboard and wouldn't mind so much if I didn't have sooo many peonies, not that I have photos of them all..... But if I was starting over, I would have less Peonies. There, I said it, got that off my chest, lol.
