  I'm trying out air pots too! First time. What sizes did you go with? I got the 1litre, 3 litre and 6 litre pots I believe. They say you get bigger plants in them, so I'm curious to see what the 1 litre ones come up with. 

I've been meaning to ask, I took out seeds for what I wrote down was 'Chirimen Squash' and 'winter hux squash', my handwriting is a bit sloppy on the labels so spelling might be off, but I'm struggling to find any info on them. 

I did something similar, I put all the old soil into raised beds for this year. I chucked in grass cuttings and leaves and gave it a mix during autumn. I'll top them up with some new sail and slow release ferts later when I plant things in there. I'm glad I'm not the only person reusing the...

I got some for the first time this year, people seem to swear by it for tomatoes at least. But what most of them seem to recommend is diluting it into water and spraying the leaves. I do not know what the carry over to peppers is. 

Not a lot is happening at the moment. Tomatoes are growing, we started giving some away now. Peppers are growing too. Onions looking sad as ever. I did transplant my leeks though, into pots. I've seen someone else grow them in these exact pots, he did an experiment with 10 leeks in one pot, but...

All of my tomato plants got gathered up so that I could organise them, because the great tomato plant giveaway is about to start. About half of them are leaving tonight. So I repotted the ones I could. The plan is to keep 14 cherry tomatoes and 10 large for myself. Keeping a few extra to give...

Exciting! Are you planting out soon? 

I got a few Blue Strawberry seeds off the train and not one has germinated, so maybe they are bad seeds?

Hey Tsurrie, I'm growing your Habanero White that I got off the seed train, is that the same as habanero white bullet? Your grow is looking great! What type of Rocoto are you growing? 

Wow! That plant is huge for such a small pot! 

  I'm growing the mother stallard too! 

  Yeah, I had a read about them, got my seeds off pepperlover, and she said that 'the flower belongs to Capsicum Chinense, the pod shape and growing habit resembles Capsicum Baccatum, more confusing the taste comes from Capsicum Annuum'. I'm growing these for flavour, everywhere I read they seem...

    Are those the type of bags that you just cut a hole in and put the plant in directly, or will you be using some sort of pot that you fill with coir? 

  Honestly, I didn't like it at all taste wise, it was extremely bitter. We're mostly keeping it because it's a pretty plant. Most of the fruit was given away last year. 

What sort of greenhouse are you getting? We built ours last year, I love having it now, but it sure was an effort to make it. 

I'm not sure if they drop, I'm not an expert. But those first few flowers generally drop regardless of temperatures, especially for chinenses. And yeah, I'd leave them outside over night. But make sure to harden them off against the sun first, sunburn would be a bigger problem than them getting...

I'd start taking them outside. I'd probably even start with night temps anywhere over 5C. Sadly we're not there yet up here in Sweden. 

  Totally agree, I might have bought a super as a novelty, but that thai is probably what I would have gone home with, and jalapeños are easy to cook with if you're making food for others too. But there are also a lot of different peppers out there, and not always easy to keep track of all, so...

  Haha, had to go and have a look at the flowers, it doesn't have any markings so I'm assuming annuum? 

Plants are looking great John!
