toms and chilli

Not much going on here but the Red Pear seeds i put in on friday have appeared today, 4 days to germinate in compost with the assistance of a vivarium heat mat.

I decided to root a chilli cutting just for the heck of it, i hear its not easy getting them to root as they have quite woody stems. Anyway, I took a soft green branch off one of the skotch bonnets chilli plants i`ve been keeping alive over winter. Will have to see what happens..if anything :wink:

 

Good luck with it, i am growing Scotch Bonnets for the first time this year, as well as some Bhut Jolokia's too,

 

Hi Penny,
Its just sitting there for now, i think its saying.. "This water is great! i don`t need to grow any roots" :wink:
The scotch bonnets were planted in october last year, the seeds came from a grocery store scotch bonnet chilli, i never buy chilli seeds.
I`ve had to keep topping them to keep them compact over the winter, they are quite branchy little devils but with a huge root system.

Good luck with your chilli`s too.

 

Thanks, you too.
How are your's doing now Hex??

 

They are slowly blocking the light coming through the kitchen window..theres 7 of them :wink:
The chilli cutting is happy..but no roots yet.

 

The scotch bonnet chilli cutting has keeled over and given up the ghost ..no big surprise.
On the brightside, the rosemary cutting i added on the 6th march now has roots..not that i need any more rosemary hehe

 

planted toms seeds on St Patrick day, first signs of them appearing. This is my first attempt so I am over the moon, Cheers Barb.

 

Want to try peas and beans in containers, will have a go this weekend when I have bought canes for staking [ today if poss] any and all advice will be most welcome. Thanks in advance, Barb.
