It's a jungle in there!

With the recent good weather the chillies are growing rapidly with plenty of flowers and some unripe fruit forming.

Superchilli

Orozco & Black Pearl
The Cheyenne is particularly impressive with a huge quantity of pods. I've never grown this variety before so I don't know what to expect in terms of flavour but the yield is promising.

Lots of fruit on the Cheyenne...
...and more flowers on the way

Distinctive flowers on the Black Tongued Scorpion


Sweet Banana


The Habaneros are coming on well in the Chilligrow

The larger plants are growing vigorously.

As long as I can keep an eye on the reservoirs during this hot spell I should be able to prevent anything drying out. The drip feed system is working ok with the Root Pouches but i'm having issues with the automatic timer (the connectors are leaking like a sieve) so I'm still having to run it manually for now.
