[CH] Is the kettle black

I could not help notice that a lot of people that had something 
to say about the Anita Bryant thread included complete previous
messages.  

When requesting that others toe the line make sure you don't
break the rules ;-)  

I am hard pressed to see the difference to some one wasting 
space and time with off topic posts and some one posting 
complete original messages.   Combining the two is a double 
wammy.  Cameron at least apologised and asked for penance for 
his unintentional mistake.  As do I, but could not resist the 
irony of it all.  Peace, love and peppers should be our motto 
and part of keeping the peace is consideration for all.

Now for the good news and so this post is not a complete waste.

Every time I go into the garden I do a little dance.  My rocoto
plants have fruit on them and the number grows by the day.
interestingly enough it was my new plants that first set fruit
and now carry the most.  I hypothesize.  I am now in a new
location on the other side of town.  Much more rain (up to
1400mm/pa) and cooler conditions.  Having learnt from last year
the plants get dappled sunlight most of the day.  Translated
that is not much direct sunlight at all.  Soil conditions are
different in that I now have sandy soil and previously had clay
type soil.  I am just lucky.  The gods and weather have smiled
upon me.

My brother in law has one of my rocoto plant in the mountains 
of Leshoto and it is doing great.  9000ft, cool mountain breeze 
and plenty of sunlight seem ideal.  Without the cooling breeze 
shade seems like the only alternative for those living in hot 
climates.  But then I maybe wrong.

And some more from Mauritius
