Some chilli porn

[BobsYourUncle]

I got the camera out this morning and took a few happy snaps. This is my first time using Google Picasa, it seems pretty good.

Hooray for chili porn...and hooray for my first post!!!

Where did you get the nagas from? I've come to the conclusion that the only way i can get my hands on some seeds is to...

a) go to a chilifest (of which there are none here in newcastle)
b) order them from online

So... Were you able to buy the seeds locally or did you purchase them from the internets?

Welcome to the site!!!

If you look around, there are several chiliheads here from Oz. I'm sure that if you ask, they will help you get a few seeds!!!

[fisting_mayfield]

Cheers Devil!

Lance, I got my bhut jolokias from NMSU (http://www.chilepepperinstitute.org/), I'd send you a few seeds but I've planted all mine and have already given the rest away - sorry. I'd be happy to send you some for next season once these have grown out.

what plants are you growing? what heat do you like? I do have some other seeds which I could send you. also, there is a really great dude who lives in the Hunter and sells his seeds online and on ebay - John is a really nice fella - http://www.thechilliman.biz/index.htm

best of luck!

Well, I'm a little late to this party, but I'll still answer your question. I got my seeds (dorset naga and naga morich) from http://www.nagaseeds.org/ (via their ebay store). They weren't cheap, but i thought it was worth it to be sure you're getting what you want. But now they're a bit easier to find, so you shouldn't have much trouble (Bent already has you sorted maybe?). And welcome to the forums! You can never have too many Australians.

[chilliman64]

...You can never have too many Australians.

I'm not so sure about that. THP used to be a little exclusive and bent and I were unique (read: a bit of a novelty) now we're not, now we're common... :P

[BobsYourUncle]

Well Sor-ry... I'll stop coming here then :p

Looking good mate

Did I mention I'm coming to your place for Xmas lunch?

[BobsYourUncle]

Haha no you didn't. Actually I'm not even sure I'm even going to be at my place this christmas, what with all the family stuff christmas entails...

Quite a few of my hotter plants (the nagas, and the red and orange habs) have a crazy number of flowers on them. No doubt some will drop off, but even so, looks like it could be a pretty good crop (touch wood). The scorpians are coming along nicely too, but no flowers on them yet.

[bentalphanerd]

Well you don't have to be there :whistle:

weather has been great - I've got some huge hab pods just ready to go ripe. Bih Jolokias not far away too.

[stillmanz]

Hey bent some of my orange habs are ripe... hate to say it but .. I win. lol
I'll get the camera out.

Must have cheated.

Double or nothing race to the first 7?

[fisting_mayfield]

:(

Mine is dropping about 5 flowers a day :'(

[Pishk]

looking good mate! well done.

[fisting_mayfield]

Hey Chilliman,

Went to see John from http://www.thechilliman.biz last night, he is a great bloke.

Bought 6 plants of different varieties, and am really happy with them!!

Thanks heaps for the URL mate!!!


PS I'd recommend him and his chilies to anyone from the newcastle/Central Coast areas

Ian,

Why did you pick your Nagas while they were still green?

[BobsYourUncle]

I needed some hot chillies for my dinner, and I didn't have anything ripe. If I had ripe ones, trust me, I would've used them ;). I only picked two, there's still plenty out there that will hopefully ripen soon.

[Philipperv]

Ok. You will notice a big improvement in the flavor and heat of the ripe ones. They are worth the wait.
