List has been slow of late ?
I Know I haven't posted for a while but its got dead slow..
Winter in Oz and the Pods are in hibernation..
Had a reasonable crop from my Tepins, Lost 3 plants and managed to get
another 5 up.. given some seeds to a bloke in Cairns NQ where they are up
and growing and to several blokes in Sydney..Sent some to several people
who contacted me ..wish them well in raising them..
Am being hounded by a guy here in Coffs that want's a Tezpur, that elusive
INDIAN chile that was supposed to rate at 850K scoville units , keep
telling him its a urban Legend..
Lost all my email Addy's when I tried to bring over 14k plus emails into
OPERA ver 7 from ver 6, then Opera died on me so I'm using Eudora for a
while, first time since 97, a steep learning curve..
So I would appreciate some emails with Contact info..
Cheers Luke in Oz
