Hi All

Still positive here - might struggle a bit this weekend - and I think the posts from GC have been very helpful and enlightening (if a little scary for me!)

RE chilli's happy to *purchase* some do you ebay them etc?

Don't worry about purchasing them, I just love them so grow them, make oils and dried chillis and give them to friends.

I have to avoid the free bar at the airport lounge tonight. Always a struggle, so I have arranged with the hotel to allow me to use the gym and pool and hit the airport late.

I'm hoping to grow Jalapenos and Habaneros this year - think those other rascals you mentioned may be a bit beyond my tolerance levels

Jalepenos and Habaneros are quite easy to grow, those and birds eyes chillis. I tend to pick them and use them as I go, then clear the whole plant and dry them at the end of summer and drop them in good quality oil, Vegetable/Olive oil. I did my first Bhut Jolokia oil last year and, well, jesus. I have a friend whom when he makes a chilli, simply uses the oil as the temperature and even then tells me it's too hot. One thing I would say, after years of painful experience, is be careful handling them: even them habeneros can be a handful.

Going to try and make chilli jam and chilli ice cream this year.
