====================
I'll Ask Tip which dishes she uses them in, From memory they are fairly bitter,
I didn't keep any seeds for myself so I will have to get some more from her..
He may wish to ask the Thai restaurants down there as well..
I have seem these up this way at either Coles or Woolworths Supermarkets some
time ago, but they were never offered again..
On Topic I have had a bad run with Stem rot in My Chiles and have lost lots
more than I care to, I have resorted to using Fongarid 250wp systemic fungicide
to try and save what I can. 250g/kg Furalaxyl../Ciba Geigy /10g pack of 5
sachets cost me $7.00AUS
My Tepins are just sitting there, still the same size they were 8 months ago, 3
inches high ?? I will be getting new seed from the USA at Christmas when my
mother returns..
Do you have an Adress for the Manutec Fertilser people as I can not get this up
here at all...
