I Planted Some More Chillies

I can tell that this blog is going to be sooooo about chillies, at least for the next week or so, and then heaven knows how it will go. 

We have one sprout!!!

It may not look much, but I'm thrilled! There were five seeds planted in there, so I'm feeling okay about buying extra seeds as we may need them. 

There were five seeds left over from the original pack, so I got them out, assembled the plant pots and settled down. I was quite pleased with the pots - they fit on our tiny windowsill. 

So I planted up the five seeds. I couldn't remember what they were called, so I labelled it Chilli One.

I planted two or three to a pot and by the time I'd planted the seeds from Chilli One and the Habanero and Cayenne seeds from this pack

I had eight little pots and I'd run out of the little saucers. They're on the windowsill now, and I'm wondering what I can do about the saucers for the rest. I may even try little freezer bags or sandwich bags, just to keep the damp off the windowsill. The pots aren't getting soaked, so it's not like they're going to shed a lot of water.

Those who have a track record of actually growing things will find this hilarious, but it's such a big adventure to me, especially as it's the highlight of the day. I'm still full of cold and huffing and puffing and not moving much. But at least I got those few chillies planted. 

Hugs and good health to all.
