Introducing my 4yr old thai chilli TREE TRUNK. Good productive chillo will see another year

Looks like it overwintered okay. Soil needs some work though but it pulled through.

Nice. Being able to grow the same plants for multiple years is such a good thing - why does everywhere tell you to pull them out and start from new seedlings every year?

I have three plants that survived both last years ongoing deluge and the winter. I think two Jalapenos and a Siam (yellow chilli). I planted out seedlings of four varieties this morning (annaheim, bulgarian carrot, jalapeno and siam) and hopefully they will not burn to a crisp in this sun before they get themselves established.

Yea i dunno. Starting from seed I suppose is pure. The hardcore chilli heads are definitely an odd breed heh.

Many years ago I went to a lunch with members of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. I was sitting with some percussionists and learned they consider the triangle to be one of the hardest percussion instruments to get right (I also learned that percussionists are absolute perfectionists). They told the story of a major performance in which the percussionist had to hit one note on the triangle. He was poised and ready, but missed the timing and could do nothing but quietly put the triangle down again. Even if a note is played perfectly it is not perfect unless it is also played at the right time.

I get the impression this is how bot001 sees it’s job. Sometimes it misses the split second timing required to post at midnight and goes f*ck it, no point posting now, I’ll just have to try again tomorrow.

Man, it’s rough coming back to work after being away for 2 weeks.

I’m glad to be back but at the same time maybe I wish I had another week off.

Having a lowkey day today and pacing myself with coffee and taking a break by myself at my desk.

Didn’t want to be overwhelmed by people today either.
