Gosh it is so nice to see that someone else finds this 
discourteous behaviour abominable.  

And I'll add BINHEX or encoded inclusions to his list.

RFC1855 has all the nice things one should know before pounding 
the keyboard.

Now of more interest, with the very mild winter we have had 
seeds put in a month ago are looking good and almost ready to be 
transplanted from the seed trays.

I would like to get hold of some Fatali seeds and if anyone has 
some spare I can offer African Devil, Aji red, Scotch Bonnet, 
Birds Eye Aji and Mauritian Fire Cracker in exchange.

My thanks to those that sent me seeds previously my crop this 
year will be most interesting thanks to your kindness.

I noted some questions about the African Devil

There is a full description of the African Devil on Graeme 
Caseltons web site

It will grow to about 4'..5' high is quite bushy and bears
profusely.  Might be OK in a normal pot 10"..12" for the first
year or so but a larger pot would be better thereafter. 
Obviously local conditions will influence the final size. 
Handles cold better than most common stuff.  Flowers are greenish 
petals with purple stamens, nodding.  The fruit grows erect and 
is about 15..25mm (3/4" ave) in length.  Heat level is high.

Jim Cambell may have a few plants available, if not and you 
want to grow from seed email me.  I am only to happy to swop.

Happy harvesting

Peter
