2nd attempt

Posted by Redcap, 25 April 2012 - - - - - - · 163 views

So, after the cat eating my seedlings last yr, I've decided to start again.

I have some Jalapeno & Bulgarian Carrots that have germinated (in Autumn here, mainly running them as an experiment to see how far I can push the season).

And have cheated a little and purchased a Jalapeno Macho Nacho, Yellow Hot Wax (Banana Chili), Firecrackers, and a...

31/10/2011 - Update with pictures!!!

Posted by Redcap, 31 October 2011 - - - - - - · 279 views

Well, my little plants seem to be happy.
They're being kept indoors for now due to the random storms and winds we've been having in my area.

The 3 potted ones are starting to develop a 3rd leaf, and the one in the Ziplock* bag is still doing well, though I'll leave it in there for a bit longer yet to see if it grows any better.

*Only had one...

Well, it would seem to be almost 2 weeks since my last update :eek:

My remaining 3 plants seem to be doing rather well. I've still got them in the juice bottle, so they're nicely protected when indoors.

So far, one out of the 4 seeds I'm germinating in the ziplock have sprouted. It is now maybe an inch or two tall, so I shall replant that...

Stupid cats

Posted by Redcap, 14 October 2011 - - - - - - · 162 views

So, I bring my chili seedlings inside at night time.

Today I awoke to find that all but 3 of my seedlings are missing or pulled out of their pots.

The 3 that survived were ones I had kept inside the juice bottle. :censored:

The one that germinated with 3 leaves is also gone. Not happy.

I guess at least I should be thankful that I had some in the juice...

Other names

Posted by Redcap, 12 October 2011 - - - - - - · 104 views

So, I finally found out other possible names for the Razzamatazz :D

NuMex Twilight, or -possibly- Bolivian Rainbow :)

As for growing;
I all but killed one off yesterday, forgot to re-water him before sitting it outside :(
Still have a tiny bit of green on the leaves, so will wait and see what happens with him /fingers crossed

Transplanting

Posted by Redcap, 10 October 2011 - - - - - - · 115 views

Transplanted my little guys today into separate pots.
After, a few looked as though they were on their last legs, curled, limp leaves... :shocked:
So I brought them inside & after a bit of heat from the lamp, they're looking lively again :woohoo:

I realized that one of them was "born" with a 3rd leaf, hoping that one will be a bit...

10/10 Germination :D

Posted by Redcap, 09 October 2011 - - - - - - · 80 views

So, a couple of weeks ago I decided to try my hand at growing some Razzamatazz
(still trying to find out exactly what these actually are)
and 10/10 seeds have now germinated this week.

Here are two pictures a week after they started appearing of my (now) inside plant, and the pot containing the...
