I'm your typically obsessed and addicted chilehead, from the UK. I'm a regular abuser of chilli pods and hot sauces (every meal more or less! my sauce buying is on the cusp of becoming 'collecter' but I know thats for another post) and I'm 'growing my own' for the first time. I'm not a gardener and have never grown anything before. Here is my early progress, it's also the first time I have ever put anything online, just to mention. I'm so glad to have found this excellent site. I think about and talk about chillies all the time, so my girlfriend will be so relieved I have found a new outlet for my ramblings! I also have a young 'basket of fire' plant growing but as I haven't done that one myself from seed I wont follow its progress online so much.
Just over 3 weeks ago I put my 'hot chocolate habanero' seeds in the dirt, I also popped in a few 'norfolk naga', so I'm not sure exactly which of the 29 plants are which. Time will tell!
Today, it's potting time! Thanks to this unusually glorious british sunshine things should to be thriving!
Yes the tools I'm using are made as infants toys but as I say I'm not the gardening type!!
The only problems experienced so far was curling of leaves when removing the propagator lid a few days ago, that was sorted by returning the lid followed by careful venting. Everything seems great now. Going to practice making a chilli jam tomorrow with a trinidad morouga from the freezer, so I will have perfected the art by the time my harvest eventually comes. I'm wanting to try my hand at drying, sauce/chutney making etc
