This Christmas I am giving away Jamaican Gold Chilli plants grown from seed. And since my birthday is just after xmas I am going to give instead of expecting to receive. Kind of like a party bag for adults.
Basically I am sick of getting cheapo presents and missing out on cake at work cos no one is there. However this year at work I did get to share my birthday with 28 other celebrators who had a birthday either in January or December or happened to change teams or turned up on the day lol.
I am hoping that, with almost a years growth, the Chilli plants will actually have some chilli fruit on them by December 2011.
So here goes.
There are 40 separate segments in the seedling tray. 4 of them are already occupied with thyme seedlings from a previous experiment so there are 36 remaining. Each of those have 1-2 chilli seeds in them. A light watering to keep the seeds moist but not wet, lid on and put the into a warm, but not too hot position (See further below.)
This 'greenhouse' is inside the granny flat and has little to no usage except maybe on an occasional poker night. Temperature outside this week has been about 41° Celsius and inside the ‘greenhouse’ 24° Celsius
What I hope to achieve are 36 of there little beauties in pots ready to bring tears of joy to those who receive.
Sign me up! I'd love a jamaican gold chilli plant for Christmas! And I'll see what 'growing gift' I can find in return! P.S. I planted the bean seeds and they are going great guns!!!
ReplyDeleteHey! Likewise, sign me up, could always use some good chilli! I might also try and plant some seeds indoors over winter, if all goes well can swap later in the year!
