    PITA not being able to post pics from my phone
    but you can, assuming you have a modern mobile. go to photobucket.com and register an account. take a picture and by either using the photobucket app or website on your phone, upload your photo. when its uploaded there is an 'i' button, which when pressed will give you a line of code to copy which you paste into any website. simples

    its what i use (see above post with pictures)

    cheers

    • Photobucket won't work any more... They've decided to screw everyone by only allowing "premium" users to host images. What's the price for one of these premium accounts you might ask? $400 a year. Yes, that's not a typo!

                  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but that is not a Reaper it is an annuum of some kind where as the reaper is a Chinense, still a nice looking plant though.

                    I hate to say I told you so but...

                    I'm afraid these are "ebay Reapers". Where did you get the seeds, mic?

                    • SP your grow looks superb, brilliant to have got so many pods already!

                      My plants definitely sulk when I pot them up, I think it's watering with cold water out of the tap. I'll definitely have to try that tip of watering first, then leaving it to warm up before planting.

                      • Do you harvest chillies when red, or do you harvest at different stages like sweet peppers(I'm talking Cayennes here).

                        • You can harvest your cayenne when they are green, but they are better if left to go red. By mid October I'm usually picking green ones because I know there's very little chance of ripening in our location, I'm guessing you will be the same burnie.

Usually kids on reality singing shows saying they've waited their "whole life" and they then announce that they're 16 years old.
                              Beca's plants and growing setup are absolutely phenomenal!! Literally amazing.
                              I've had seeds from her too.

                              Dan's sauces and products are also something out of this world! He knows a thing or two about chillies and is a top bloke! Very generous, nice guy!

                              They know their onions (well, chillies)

                              I'm sure there's loads everyone could learn from them.

                                Hi cptcrackoff long time no see ( or I've not been paying attention )

                                I'm really looking forward to meeting and learning from both of them on the chilli experience day.
