    Hey folks anyone interested in sharing some nice chilli seeds with me? I am more interested in flavour than heat... none of my jalepeno seeds germinated :(

    I have some cambodian chilli seeds i can trade, or some trich cross seeds, or some heirloom vege seeds :)

    I'd like go get a few different  kinds going, let me know if you can help me out.

    Been enjoying reading your posts/blog.

    Hope you have more luck with your pineapples than I did. They were in the ground  for about 3 years, got quite big but never fruited. So I ripped them out to make way for tomatoes. To give pineapples a head start you can put skewers in the side of them and hang over a glass of water and roots will form quicker than in soil.

     

    Glad to share. Im really pleased if anyone is enjoying it, it helps keep me motivated to do stuff. Yeah I have heard pineapples can take a few years to produce anything.

    Happy anniversary!

    I can relate to your sentiments. Without SAB I don't know where I would be. I imagine I would be working a job Ihate chainsmoking my way to an early grave.

    All the best I hope I see you somewhere soon!

    Ihave been treating them rough - left them outside through several melbourne summers and winters.. so its lost all its fluffy and Ithink the sun made it go quite pale, particularly when it had no roots. Im not sure if it will recover its color, but the new growth should be nice and green again. Hopefully soon Iwill have a sheltered hothouse home for my babies and then they can all get fluffy and beautiful.

    Hi Niggles, you mentioned you're going to be looking into chickens?? if you haven't checked it out yet google "backyard poultry forum" 

     

    It's an Aussie site and they do with chickens what we do with plants, a wealth of tips and tricks for young players.

    That is a jourdaniana. Yeah its a beauty, it is recovering from its rootstock getting damaged, had to chop it off the base and reroot it. Was starting to get pale ad squishy but now it is cheering up nicely.

    I have a large greenhouse, from memory 3.7m x 2.2m, in a box that has never been built. It also come with a shelving unit that goes all the way around in three levels. Total cost was over 3.5K when I bought it some years ago. I wasn't able to put it up due to life getting in the way. 

     

    Send me a PM if interested I'm only looking for $500 for it with the shelving unit included, the shelving unit cost me $800 alone. 

     

    It is located in Seven Hills in Sydney and you will need a truck or similar to move it, the boxes are super heavy and 4m long.
