growing your own fresh stuff is nice.

For anyone that is interested, the Grocer in Marrickville Metro has red habanero's in stock.

My homegrown habanero's are kickin ass at the moment, nice big bright orange fruit
My jalopeno's that are 2 years old have been soooo slow to produce compared to last year

I'm wondering if you could put an aquarium or fishbowl upside down over chilli plants to make a little hot house

Should be fine as long as the base is slightly raised to allow air in
