By the way, this is what a two-year-old chilli plant looks like when it's on strike... 🌶️🌶️🌶️
It’s already a little miracle that this ufo chilli plant made it to TWO years old! But I have a feeling it might be pushing its luck for a third…
Is anyone else out there with a chilli plant that's over two years old? Have you got any tips? 🌱

Crazy chilli harvest today! 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Collected a box full of lemon drop peppers from the nine plants in our community greenhouse.
Next mission: choose the best way to preserve this spicy treasure…

🌶️ Same age, totally different!
One lemon drop chilli in a pot outside —10 chillies, 2 ripe.
One in the greenhouse —bushy with 30 chillies, none ripe yet! Hope they ripen before it gets too cold!
Already dreaming of next year's grow, greenhouse might be the way to go! 🌱

The lemon drop chillies have officially moved into the community greenhouse — and they're thriving! 🌶️
But with the heat in there, the soil dries out super fast. To keep the moisture in, I mulched the ground with organic straw from a nearby community farm. 🌾
Fingers crossed it does the trick! 🤞

🌶️ First harvest of the year!
I picked these tiny habanero chillies from my two-year-old plant. I didn’t give them much attention this season, so they stayed small — but they still pack a punch! 😅
I accidentally snapped a branch (oops!), and after a few days in a glass of water, the chillies turned red while the leaves wilted.

This year is flying by! The little ones are growing up so fast — my black heart chilis already have fruits! 🌶️🖤
Are they ready to harvest yet? 🤔🍽️

Watching my habanero chilis grow is so calming and nourishing — it might just be my favorite way to cope with the outside world.
This little green bubble brings me peace and a whole lot of joy!🌶️

Wow, this is amazing! It's April, and my habanero chili plants are flowering.🌸 I never thought I could overwinter them and have them bloom again, but here they are, proving me wrong. Aren't they gorgeous?! 😍

Another sunny day well spent! 🌞 The past two days have been beautifully warm (18 and 20°C) — absolutely perfect for letting the little ones have some outdoor fun for a few hours! 🌶️🌶️🌶️

@gardening @homegrownfood And for those who think this is late for sowing, you're absolutely right. I had to focus all my attention on my Habaneros and UFO chillies in the first weeks of the year, since I overwintered them successfully.
Now is the perfect time for the new ones, and they will be just fine as they can move to a community greenhouse in a couple of weeks.
