Are there any list members in Brisbane Australia? I am just starting my chilli garden and I'd be interested in experiences. Also chilli swapping, since it is illegal to get seeds imported into Australia. As for buying fresh chillis, I have noticed that several local stores like the Woolworths at Sandgate and whatever the supermarket is at Chermside are selling red and green jalapenos, thai dragons and even habaneros (though the checkout girl asked me if it was a carrot). I consider this a major sign of civilisation for Brisbane. You can buy a few different types of chilli bush at The Pot Shop at New Farm, and the bizarre Erica Vale range of seeds including Big Jim chillis at The Garden Shop at Carseldine. I do not know of a good hot restaurant in Brisbane since the sizchuan restaurant at Taringo closed down many years ago. John
