My Blog
This is very much a work in progress. One day I might even post something worth reading.
RSS FeedMy babies have their first leaves! Not their first true leaves, but the cotyledon ones that seedlings start off with. And it looks like some of the seeds that I left on the paper towel are finally getting their act together too. #gardening #chillies
I've just planted 17 baby chilli seedlings from 7 out of the 10 varieties I tried to germinate. Now comes the wait to see if I've not killed them and if they'll grow into nice big healthy plants #gardening #chillies
Just checked on the chilli/pepper seeds and quite a few have grown a tiny root, so I should probably think about planting them in some soil soon I guess.
I've just made a start on my chilli planting earlier than previous years. I'm also experimenting with germinating the seeds on damp paper towel first too. Got 4 of Rocket, Jalapeno, Scotch Bonnet, Armageddon, Lemon Hot, Cherry Bomb, Choc Hab, Thai Dragon chillies, and Ramiro and Sweet peppers so a nice wide spread of heat, taste and colour.
Dreams are funny things. Recently I've been dreaming a lot about dwarves on/in a dirigible traveling between a series of floating islands. Now the fact that I have been recently playing "Black Skylands" - an RPG game about a young woman with a dirigible fighting pirates on a series of floating islands - and also Dwarf Fortress is surely a coincidence, right?
