We've been having our typical Summer weather in Brisbane: hot, humid days interspersed with intense wind and rain. The habaneros loved it, growing three fruit very quickly. Since then, however, flower production has come to a standstill on the habanero. I believe that this is due to the fact that the plant's energy is going into the current fruit. Hopefully when I pick them I will get another bunch of fruit.
Something that I neglected to mention before is that I plan for this garden to be profitable. I have spent about $13 to get this garden started and until it has produced $13 of produce, I will not be buying any more plants. Of course my local supermarket doesn't stock habaneros but I'll go off the generic chilli price, which is about $11 / kg.
Of course, I won't turn away plants as presents from family! (hint, hint)
