Hi Guy's
We just had a week where the sun god smiled on us blue sky and bright sun highs of 13oC to 15oC
But..........with a constant icy wind ! Anyway been sitting out writing my chillie notes in my book watching my babies that I've been hardening off enjoying the sunshine ![Smiling face with sunglasses :sunglasses: 😎](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png)
A mix of capsicum pubescens 7 varieties this season, capsicum annuum x3 Ring of fire I'm trying outdoors (first time) a few "spare" capsicum chinense rather than put them in the compost !
And this little fella the wild cold tolerant capsicum flexuosum................which I grew purely out of curiosity having heard of its cold tolerance. Sadly from the 10 seeds I only got one plant (believe you need two to get fruit
not 100%) so I've just sown 10 more seeds in two batches of 5 using two different methods to improve my chances ![Crossed fingers :fingers_crossed: 🤞](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f91e.png)
I have to say this little fella has proved to be one of those plants you get strangely attached to no idea why but I do find it simply beautiful
Just potted it up its been a slow grower compared to any variety I've grown before but I love the leaf colour shape even texture![Hugging face :hugging: 🤗](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f917.png)
Recently it's started developing "leaf hairs" similar to capsicum pubescens but not on the stem from the side its more akin to a miniature tree ......nothing outstanding or spectacular but strangely satisfying............![Smiling face with smiling eyes :blush: 😊](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60a.png)
