my smallest with flowers are double that size.

a few of mine have flowered already. I polinated a day ago and the flowers are starting to wilt now.  ;D

p.s.... do any of you "pinch" your flowers to make them more bushy and less tall? I have one that is just getting higher and higher...

I also agree.... if you are making more than a coffee grinder can handle then you are making way too much in advance

Good looking curries, but the rice (in either) is not really very BIR-like is it (in texture or presentation)?

Not everyone eats Pilau rice... most BIRs sell boiled as well.

How is everyones plants doing?

My Jalapeno, Numex and Habernero are still infants... I really hope the summer picks up a little so I can get a crop from these some time :(



I had to give some of my cayennes away as I had way too many for my house - dont have a green house. I have kept a few for myself. Anyone know why the wee one is not growing as well as the big one? lol.... ????



Here is how my coriander and methi is doing :D

Hi
For what its worth I now use Rice oil when cooking my curries, the health properties are mean't to be favourable(Unless someone tells me otherwise)
Matt

I also use rice bran oil. As healthy as olive oil, but doesnt impact on the taste of a curry like olive oil. High smoke point, and lowers cholesterol. Great oil. Love it :)

Hi.

I came down today to find a few of my plants limp looking. The bottom of the stems are all knobbly and rooty... does this maybe mean they are outgrowing their pots and the roots are pushing the plant out the soil?

what is the safest and best way for me to repot them at this stage.#

thanks very much
