I haven't updated for a while, this should really be my last update as winter is over and spring is here making the overwinter room the growroom/nursery    I cut all plants back a few weeks ago and last week repotted them in a fresh mix, I had to give the root balls a trim as they filled the...

Yes I have also read this, every seed will produce a new type of potato. Size, colour, shape, taste, yield...everything will be different. If theres something I really like I will need to save the potatoes and grow them to produce more the same. It's the first time I have grown potatoes from...

I grew a few different types of potatoes last year, as usual the they flower but the flowers fall off, however 1 grew into a fruit (looks like a green tomato). I saved it and got about 250 seeds from it. I planted about 60 of the seeds a few weeks ago and had 100% germination rate. I dont have...

Here they come.....    

I have these indoors by the window. They still got a little sunburn from the intense spring sun  

Are you hardening them off? It also looks like sunburn

I get all my pots from supermarkets, they are the black pots they have there cut flowers delivered and displayed in. When they are empty they throw them away. I just ask them to save them for me and I collect them every few weeks, i literally have hundreds of them stacked up in the garage. They...

I just built this raised bed, its 3m long, 1.6m wide and 0.9m high.  I can reach into the middle from both sides and it's going to save my back from having to constantly bend over as I have to do with lower beds. I will make another 3 identical beds. I also have 1.2m x 0.8m pallet collars...

Nothing else in the room is producing pollen at the moment so I know the seeds from these first pods will be good to grow without worrying about potential cross pollination. As time goes on any plants I want to save seeds from will have to be isolated while flowers are pollinated

The calyx looks pretty small compared to the size of the flower, I guess the proof will be in the pudding. I know it's a bit early to be sure but it looks like the flowers have pollinated themselves

A few more flowers opened today, I hope the  big flowers mean I have the plants with big fruit

Thanks I went with imgur   The smaller flower is from a peach ghost.   I will try and get a better photo when the next flower opens, it looks like that could be tomorrow       

I had 10 different chili plants growing in the same space but only the Piperka Vezena had edema, last year I had it bad with some habanero. The first flower opened and its really big, just 1 petal is as big as a whole flower from my other plants. I've only been growing 3 year but in those 3...

All plants are starting to grow pretty fast ow, they are all coming into flower The all have edema but I think that was due to the environment in the garage where they lived untill I potted them up and moved them indoors.

I have potted up 4 of the 5 plants into 10 liter pots. I will move them next to a window in my overwinter room today. (Front 4 plants in the photo)

I started potting up the cuttings today, the 3 on the left are carolina reapers, the 3 in the right are bbg peach ghosts. They have gone into 10L pots with a homemade organic soil mix. I have another 20 or so to pot up, then I have all the over wintering plants (around 30 of them) to repot in...

The cuttings I took from the carolina reaper and bbg peach ghosts are doing really well. I need to put them in big pots asap

There starting to grow fairly fast nowI can see roots coming out the bottom of there pots. I would like to put them in much bigger pots now and move them under some better lights.... but I dont have any better lights. We still dont have enough sunlight to move them into my overwinter room, I'm...

I repotted them a few days ago in slightly bigger pots with a organic soil mix. The cotyledons fell off over the last few days but apart from that they seem to be looking a bit happier now
