Chillies 2023

The inkbird is good, I bought it for homebrewing intially as it can control both heat and cold and I've measured it with two other higher end thermometers and my unit is accurate to within half a degree which is good enough. Also used it to proof bread dough. All of this is of course not strictly necessary but I like having toys to play with

For germination I usually set to 27c, then once germinated I've set it to 22c I think. Otherwise the heat mats are too warm and plants get really spindly.

 

I've been a naughty girl. Using plastic ziploc bags - hopefully that will delay any drying out.

 

Had my Inkbird wired up to heater cables, worked great.

Using it right now with the heater cable wrapped around my hot water tank s overflow pipe thats been dripping and has frozen solid at times during winter freezes. Works a treat set to 2c.

Nightmare trying to get a heating engineer with G3 qualification to look at it right now.

 

I will be sowing this years seeds this month, after a real glut last year I am trying to behave myself and grow less this year. Anaheim and Hungarian Hot Wax will be m main crops as they are the ones we like eating. Sweet peppers will be Corno di Terro Rosso, one I have not grown before.

 

Nice. A supply for the compost heap,a good activator. Serious about getting a pair just as "shredders" of cabbage stalks etc. Not sure the rescue centre will sanction putting their 'fur babies' to work.

 

We had Guinea pigs when the kids were young, I grew some of the best Onions I've ever grown using their waste as a compost additive lol.
