SO
last year my chillies didn't grow much. I had a bunch of varieties and they all started growing at the very end of the season, so i didn't have any real amount of ripe chillies.
This year i decided to do things a bit differently and with that in mind I sowed some of my seeds early (around 20th December 2012) And they're doing great!
The varieties I've sown in the first batch are:
Bhut Jolokia
Jalapeno
Sparkler
A few weeks later, I sowed two varieties from the dried chilli pods I had in a jar. They had almost 100% germination.
Big Thai (I think)
African Bird's Eye (Ithink
I later ordered a few extra seed from South Devon Chilli Farm and bought a few other varieties in stores, which i sowed a few days ago. These are:
Fatalii
Hot Chocolate Habanero
Orange Habanero
Bolgarian Carrot
Cayenne
The third batch hasn't germinated yet, so I'll post photos of them later.
About 2 weeks ago I bought a transparent plastic laundry box, which I wrapped in a reflective foil. I've put some of the chillies in there and left some outside and they're doing great!
I'm in the process of buying a house, so I'll be able to pot these babies outside in the second half of the spring. Can't wait!
I'll post the photos in a few minutes.
