    Hello!
    Sorry to confuse you all with the leaderboard. I changed it to order by pepper length because people in Australia and New Zealand already have peppers. Previously it was ordered by when people registered (ie last to register were at the bottom of the leaderboard). Quite how it orders when everyone is at the same length is anyones guess!? As I continue to add more people your positions will probably keep changing. Don't worry, it will all look better once summer kicks in and everyone gets peppers of more than 0.0cm

    And don't worry about your plants being small. There is PLENTY of time. You could plant your seeds in April and still win.

    Blueplanet and Protea have been added.

        Hi Bramble, I see your chillie there in Dublin on the world map, but I can't see your name on the leaderboard.
        And, I see I've gone down to 37th. Oh well, glad I looked at it yesterday and could be 9th - even if only for a day. Will just have to get back up there. Come on Alice's Big Jims !

        From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.

                  Hi Alice, found the board, sent the email yesterday and still nothing happening. I am hoping maybe tomorrow i will find myself a place on the board.

                  And when your back stops aching,
                  And your hands begin to harden.
                  You will find yourself a partner,
                  In the glory of the garden.

                      • I've slipped from the Top Twenty to 106th.

                        I've got two seedlings a couple of cm tall on the go on my windowsill, with more to sow soon. Early days.

                        Nice to see so many from here on the list. The Aussies are up and running, but I'm sure we'll have the last laugh. Tortoise and hare and all that.

                            • Hi All, thanks for the encouragement. See my name is now on the board. Was hoping there would be someone else on there from Ireland, but maybe its not too late yet.
                              All my pepper seed are up, thats all i can say about them. No true leaves yet on any of them except one.
                              This is a pepper i call ALICE, because she sent me the seed and itd doing best so far.
                              So thanks Alice.
