Long Wheel Base Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 I want to plant a jalepeno tree/plant in my veggie garden. Does anyone know if I take some seeds from the bottled banditos jalepeno that I buy at the shops and let them dry, will I be able to get it to grow? Or should I just go find one at a nursery?

mulmi Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) What care should I give fruit trees in the winter? I also have a few small trees still in pots. Hoping to plant it next spring. Should I keep watering it Edited April 13, 2015 by mulmi

Few hours later she rocked up at my place with one she went and quickly bought at one of her favorite nurseries. PS: on living seeds under the large jalepeno it has a lekker "recipe". Fill the inside with cheese, then wrap it in bacon and braai it. Sounds lekker. fanievb 1

mulmi Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 I am so keen to get started. But the free range chickens we have is a worry. I am looking for a cheap tunnel setup.
Zatopek Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 The is a place in Brackenfell called "Die ou plaashek" the have a few lohmans for sale and get new one in often. I still have to build the coop before i buy. I am hoping to start this weekend.I got 4 Lohmans last weekend. One of them just started to lay (still ~small) eggs.    Still figuring out with the coop layout (the old aviary). Anyone know where I can buy 1 or 2 straw bales in the Durbanville area?. Â
Grebel Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 My vegetable garden is a distant memory (Actually most of my garden is a distant memory...!!). Two 10 month old Labrador rescue pups took care of that.... Hairy and Long Wheel Base 2
