The warm weather convinced the chillies to grow but this year it’s sloooow 🌱... and only 17 out of 30 seeds have sprouted so far.
Still playing plant detective - Why did only half make it?
Too cold during the day (less heating while I’m out)?
Or did I accidentally use seeds from a hybrid plant?
What are you thinking? 🌶️🌶️🌶️

This year my seeds are clearly on strike. So far, only three brave souls showed up — two Buschpfeffer and one Lemon Drop. The rest are still hibernating.

Apparently 17°C in the living room felt like the Arctic, so I moved them to a “tropical” 19°C. Let’s see if that convinces them it’s time to grow. 🌱

Oops, I may have accidentally planted 4 types of chillies! 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

* Lemon Drop: Mild & productive
* UFO: Using 3-year-old seeds (fingers crossed!)
* Dragon Breath: For a spicy sauce project with a dear friend
* Buschpfeffer: Early harvest

Let’s see how they grow!

Making choices… the spicy kind.
I’ve got more than 10 chili seeds. The last two years went way too well, so this year I’m challenging myself: only 3 chilies.
But seriously… which ones?! 🌶️🤔

* Lemon drop
* Ufo
* Habanero
* Dragon Breath
* Purple Haze
* Buschpfeffer
* Muite Forte
* Mini Till
* Dorset Naga
* Chile Passila
* Black Hearth

Oh wie schön. Die Lemon Drop Samen hängen beim SeedExchange in Halle H. Neemt sie euch gerne mit und tauscht fleißig.

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? 🌱

Schaut mal, unsere Tütchen sind richtig schick geworden und passen perfekt zum Design des Kongresses.

Insgesamt gibt es 52 Tütchen mit jeweils 10 bis 20 Lemon-Drop-Samen für den Saatguttausch.

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! 🤞
