Bruce LIVES

Everything that is outdoors and not hunting or shooting. Talk about fishing, 4wd, archery, camping, motorbike riding etc etc.

Bruce LIVES

Post by mick_762 »

Well yes, whilst our own member Bruce is still kicking - this is an unusual one:

The Australian cultivar "Bruce" chilli.
It took 10 seeds to get one to this point, ok really would have only been 9 but for an enthusiastic 5 year old micro manager of all things gardening.

A hard chilli to propagate, but I am looking forward to the chillies from him.

Thanks Rabbitz for the initial seeds.

Nice work.

We have not been successful this season as the weather has not been kind, although after setting panic fruit, last years plants has set a small crop. At least we will have fresh sees for next year.

If I get any this year I can send some back to you as well.

Or 10 seeds for $5
