So August/September starts the seed sowing season for chilis and I think I am going to go a little heavy handed this season with varieties just so I can dry them and make up a variety of different and experimental chili powders. So the seeds I have to start this glorious season off with are your everyday garden variety Jalapeno, Red and Gold Cayenne, Orange Habanero, and the Serrano, some of the more common but not overly seen in Australia are the Trinidad Scorpion, Bhut Jolokia Chocolate (aka Chocolate Ghost Chili), Poblano, and Anaheim, then last but not least I will be getting some of the more Central and Southern American chilis a crack which are; Red Cherry, Pasilla …

As I have just finished Uni studies and what not, I have finally got time to start the epic journey of building my big produce garden. I've wanted to do this for a long time now.....always had smaller gardens but never one of this scale. The area I have in mind is north facing on a slope with access to a full day of sun. Just recently the area has been excavated thus my journey begins. I have sketched some average plans to give me and everyone else an idea of what I'm attempting...(pictures should be attached). The excavator put in two terraces, as you can hopefully gauge from the pictures, the guy in the photo is standing on the top one. The top terrace is going to have…

First year this girl laid us some eggs. I have some nice box turtles,they are funny little things. The girl that laid the eggs was glued back together after a run in on the road with a car. But she looks good and we are very proud of her.

I was looking around my garden today and found I have an excess of certain veggies through the year. I am not sure if anyone in the Toowoomba area might be interested in maybe trading some veg when it comes into season. Currently I have an excess of Kael and lemon grass as well as a few herbs. If anyone is interested I am happy to trade for other veg you may have. Let me know

Hey Stoners For those who have followed my grows for the last two seasons, you will know I put a fair bit of time and work in my garden. Spring before last (2014) I had to justify my time in the garden which I did by creating my pool jungle garden. It has flourished and has now developed to the point where I've been able to get an understory of some of my favourite fragrant plants... Gardenia, ginger, daphne, lilius, cestrum nocturnum, lonicera fragrantissima, trachelospermum (chinese star jasmine), heliotrope cherry pie to name a few. There is only one plant from my old garden that survived the pool installation and that was the lonicera. Everything else ha…

Thought I'd share these and get pics of the green house tomorrow. Got some strawberries from Bunnings, soil was crap and they were not producing so I repotted them in to my own soil mix and got rid of gnats they seem to have. Put them in a tent with a 130w veg CFL and a 24w 5600k CFL. Had about 8 so far - very juicy and sweet. just water and a guano feed every now and then. They seem happy Also kicked off veggies in the small seahawk tent - took 3-4 days for these to pop - meant to take a week. they are in a 50/50 soil \coco mix, sitting on a heat tray with 4 x 24w T5 purple fluoros CabbageBaby CumberCherry tomatoes BroccoliCauliflowerCapsicumBasil which is …

Does anyone know what these beetles are? Never seen them before, but this year they have been swarming by the hundreds, probably thousands to mate. Especially noticeable flying around in the rays of the morning sun, during the day they seem to hide on the shadowy sides of trees and crawl indoors to hide from the sun. They're literally EVERYWHERE, clumped together. Found a few on my plant but they seem to have no interest in eating it, thankfully! Edit: Nevermind, I found them. I should have googled first They're called 'Plague Soldier Beetles' aka Chauliognathus lugubris.
