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

Check out this hilarious pic of a chili plant getting a shower! 🫣 Unfortunately, it was a must due to some pesky lice.
Also, I'm experimenting with overwintering my chilies—some indoors and some outdoors. Any advice from the chili community on whether I should prune them for the winter, and if so, how? 🌶️❄️ Let me know your tips!

Harvesting chillies. Today, we gathered another incredible batch. Remember, though—always wear gloves when handling chillies. A friend thought he could go without, and now his hands are feeling the heat! To soothe the burn, a quick wash with washing-up liquid (no water) followed by Aloe Vera does wonders. 🌶️

I've been growing chilli plants since February and they've been thriving! Now that autumn is here and the temperature is dropping below 10°C at night, I've decided to bring some of the plants into my bedroom to share my space with them. And look how well they're doing! Even though the season is almost over, they've had a boost and the plant is full of ripe chillies!

It's Sunday, which means it's chilli time!
I've just harvested the Ufo chillies and found some little helpers. Amazingly, this snail seems to not mind the capsaicin at all. (Oh, and I used gloves to harvest the chillies!)
