What's a 'digging board'? Anything like an Aborigianl digging stick?
:-))

Naw, it's just a board to put down to stand on in the beds, so that I
don't compact the soil too much. I got big feet, but the board is
better;O)

Ah right - with you now.

Those Thai peppers, are they the ones that are called Dragon's Teeth?

No name at all other than Thai chili - the lack of names really irritates
me, especially the use of commercial names as opposed to botanical names.

I
grew some a couple of years ago. They are nice and hot, and there always
seemed to be some on the bushes when I went looking for peppers. Most of
the peppers that I'm planting are sweet peppers. I've become addicted to
grilled red bell peppers from the garden. My sweety (Spanish/Mexican and
German/Roumanian descent) can't abide hot spicy.

Well I have some sympathy there. I love Indian food but not the sort that
blows one's brains out from the heat.

For me, the heat is
about right, if it makes me hiccup.

That sounds way too hot to me.

For translating names, you can always type in "translate, (name)" in
Google, or use their "app" Google translate on an iGoogle page. First
you have to select "add stuff" from the page, but the rest is easy.

That's a good idea. Thanks for that.

Digging stick? Is that like a dibble? A stick that is pointy on one end
to make a hole to plant in?

It's a stout stick with a pointy end but for digging to get at something not
to plant something. Aboriginas were hunter gatherers not farmers.

I had a really good one, made from an old
shovel handle, but it has gone missing, probably in the weeds I haven't
cleared yet (I make tea out of them). With the dinky little one I'm
using now, I sometimes have to wash some of the dirt off the roots to
get the plant to go in the hole.

Hope you got your firewood in.

LOL. Not my job. I've got the kindling in so that's the bit I have to
worry about. :-))
