Hello and welcome to the Forum. I saw your post on the THP forum a couple of days ago. I just had a chance to check my stock tonight. When you say you're looking for Aleppo (also known as Halaby), would they also be categorized as Aleppo (PI181864)? If so, send me an email via my profile.

Seysonn, Thats a big Chenzo. What you been giving it... steroids. Did you get red pods yet? I have 2 overwinters and they are about a foot high but really bushy. Alot of nice pods but not a big bush. Almost like an ornamental. The Mother bush was about 2 feet though. Hopefully the new ones I have will be bigger. I have a bunch of plants that I transplanted to 1 gallon containers and for some reason, at 6 inches they start to pod. They grow super fast in the smaller pots. I pull all of the early pods when I see them to give the plants some time to grow. Once there big enough, I will move some to bigger pots.

I am not sure if my zone is correct. Because New Zealand is an island nation and is in the path of the 'Roaring 40's' trade winds, we do not get extreme weather, even here at latitude 43S. We would only get snow (that lay on the ground) about once per year. The AVERAGE minimum temperature in the two coldest months (June and July) is above freezing about 35.5 degF, but we will get frosts down to 20degF on occasions. The frosts occur when the sky is clear, so they are usually followed by a sunny day. We do get severe winds - strong enough to blow down trees sometimes, and the top bar of the frame is firmly attached to the wall with pipe saddles. The front uprights are screwed to the wooden base. The polythene helps to keep the frame together and I have used a PVC solvent cement on some of the fittings.

Short of actually planting the garden, the planning is the most fun! For 2016 I have started my plan. I have 4 areas in which I plant garden vegetables. Area 1 - Is an area about 15' X 8' on the north side of my house landscaping in which I plant some vegetables among the roses and azaleas. Here I intend to plant peppers, hot habinieros and bell, basil and 2 tomatoes purchased locally. Area 2 - Is an area about 15' X 12' on the south side of my house landscaping in which I plant some vegetables among the bush cherries, roses, russian palmogranite, strawberries, and apache blackberry. Here I will plant tomatoes purchased locally, eggplant, and bell peppers. I might have an artichoke if it survives the winter. Picture included. Area 3 - Is a 18' X 5' raised garden in the backyard shown in the picture. Here I already have 2 gojiberry bushes and will plant bright-light swiss chards, broccoli raab, and beets (all on line seeds). Area 4 - Is a 10' x 20' backyard garden spot next to my north fence. Here I plan to plant yard-long oriental beans in a row along the fence so they can run up the fence. In five 4 foot X 8 foot patches I will plant bush beans (local purchased seeds), musselburgh leeks (seeds on line), swiss chards-lettuce-mustard greens-green onions (local seeds). On the fence I will hand some milk jug containers where I will plant cucumbers to trail down. The yard-long beans will entagle with the cucumbers using them as support. The picture shows 2 of the 5 sections. Last year I grew garlic and leeks. I received 1/2 of my on-line-ordered seeds yesterday. I received my mustard, bright-light Swiss chards and beets. Still waiting on cucumbers, musselburgh leeks, and broccoli rabe. Planning some projects for the spring (besides pruning fruit trees, bushes and vines and preparing garden soil). Project # 1 - Rplace all native grass in the backyard with good grass. Project # 2 - Graft another variety of jujube onto my sherwood (need scions). Project # 3 - Graft another variety of apricott onto my moorpark (need scions). Project # 4 - Build wooden plant box. Project # 5 - Build 2 feet wide walk from patio to storage.
