Well it finally stopped raining and the sun came out and dried up the aforementioned rain and the garden sprung to life. Those chillies that have been slowly growing on the plants for what seemed like an age have ripened and I've even been brave enough to put some of the hardier chillies outside to enjoy the sunshine.

Certain plants are racing ahead of the field, Loco is covered in small chillies and the Superchilli is living up to its name with an incredible crop of small pointed chillies.

Some of the plants are taking longer than others to get their act together, the slow growing Scotch Bonnets, Chocolate Habaneros and Nagas have yet to show any sign of flowers although they have made a growth spurt in the unfamiliar sunshine.

As for the Jiffy 7 pellet trial, it was a huge success with all bar one of the pellets resulting in a seeding. I've potted them on into party cups and they seems to be doing well on the windowsill.
Meanwhile the Pasilla Bajio and Orozco seeds that had been grown in the small peat pots have been potted on and added to the rapidly expanding forest in the growhouses. With space at a premium it won't be long before, once again, I'm looking for some new homes for some of the plants.
