Awww, I just can’t stop watching them. This little chili plant — a Lemon Drop — is only a few days old, and she’s already looking so pretty. 🌱

Isn’t she gorgeous?!
This Buschpfeffer chili plant is absolutely loving the sunshine, and watching her grow makes me so happy. 🌱

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

Lunch break used to ponder chilli seeds.
I need to get some into dirt soonish.
I don't rush into this too much as I don't really think there's that big a difference between chillies germinated on 1st Jan vs 1st Feb with my climate and facilities. (May differ if you have ideal indoor growing conditions and time and organisation for a very responsive potting-on riegeme!)
The photo shows the seed pool I will pull from — almost all from Chilli Chump and Fatalii, plus Padrons from Nikki's. (I have other packets from some other suppliers but they're all "retired".)
The ones left of centre are previous years, the ones to the right are new supply for this year (except the far-right, wich are older).
Trying to limit to under 20 varieties. It is hard!
(Upside down bottom-centre did not grow true to type across multiple plants, but they were a highly prolific med-low heat red chilli that made great flakes, so not counted out yet, lots to pick from tho!)
#Allotment Postcard #39 is up… this just being some waffle from after the weekend away for PyCon. There is a bit of a #chilli fruit round-up at about 6:09 — though not a comprehensive one.
Slowly catching up!
