Today was planting day!

After starting so late last year I was determined that this year I’d make sure the chilli plants get the best possible start, so we actually manage to get some decent chillis to eat this time (and there’s time to try again if these ones don’t hatch).

So in they go.  I’m trying something a bit different this year, with some seeds in pots, and some in the tray. We’ll see if it makes any difference to speed of germination or ease of transplanting a bit later…

This year’s varieties are:

  • Fresno
  • Anaheim
  • Jalapeño
  • Prairie Fire
  • Ring of Fire
  • Cherry Bomb
  • Pimentos de Padron

I have no idea where they’re all going to go when/if  they sprout, but a couple of people have already put in orders for plants….

    Get yourself a real garden with real soil and I’m sure they will grow fantastically!

    We’d love one, but we just have to wait a bit longer…

    I’m just happy that we seem to get a bit more sunlight in this flat that should help the growing this year.

    And anyway, some chilli plants make great windowsill pets. The Prairie Fires should be that plant this year.
