So are these right to eat as they appear in the photo or do they ripen to that yellow and orange colour that I'm used to seeing in the shops?

There is a thread here that might help. However, it is a bit seasonal: Planting, sprouting, growing harvesting and using. I have not been through it from the start, but I have not seen much discussion on diseases of hops for the past couple of years. Some folks have their hops fail, which could be a disease issue of some sort. Check it out: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think I might be copping the old Verticillium Wilt or maybe some sort of leaf curl fungus... Got some Sulphur based gear to try.... But cannot apply when we are having some rain finally... ha ha Here we go hey - blooooody fires and dry as - save the hops from the drought by installing drip irrigation and a timer while I am away... .save the poor beggggar from the Roos and Wombats when I get back - then get fungal attack - and cannot treat due to rainfall?! Phaaaaaaaaaaaarque. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look like Nagas Yeah, the chillies look like Bhuts. I've really neglected my chillies this year. I had a ripper of a harvest last season with quite a few kilos of red, yellow and purple Cayennes, Chocolate Habaneros, Red Naga Bhuts and some Butch-Ts. Oh yeah and some yellow Fatalii as well. This year it was just too hot and dry. I have a few Cayennes, had a fair few Bullhorns and some Choc Habs are popping up now, after I nursed the plant back to life.

Now to wait 7-9 months ha hahaha ha Captain, I have admired the photos of your garlic before and I am keen to plant some myself this year. I have a few questions though : - the folksy thing is that you hold off planting garlic until the Equinox for a late spring early summer harvest. You've gone a month early. Where are you located (I am in Melbourne) ? Do you recommend planting early ? - Any tips for prepping the ground ? I have heard that you shouldn't over feed alliums. - Do you plant the garlic out on its own ? Any recommendations for companion planting ? - You have five different varieties. Where do you source the bulbs ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
