So with another batch of seeds in the propagator I thought it best to take stock of my seeds and how many more varieties I have yet to plant.
As it turns out I’ve got seedlings on the go for most of my varieties with just five more left to plant. Not all of the seedlings are in the best of health as a few succumbed to damping off and those that survived are a little weak and spindly. However, the rest are doing well and flourishing under the CFL growlight.
The idea is to have one or two plants of each variety (space allowing) and with chillies that I use the most, such as the Pimientos de Padron and Jalapenos, have up to half a dozen of each.
Because I started planting so ridiculously early I’m hoping it will give me the chance to bring on the plants to a healthy size before they have to be moved to the greenhouses outside. And if I should have any seedlings that fail then at least I have plenty of time to plant replacements and still get a long growing season in.
So here’s the current list of plants growing:
