Ed's Simple Life

Some time last year I started to keep some of the seeds from Chili Peppers when cooking, I guess I was marginally spurred on by the slight success of the lime seeds from supermarket fruit and the nectarine seeds.  As with the above seeds I was fairly convinced that nothing would grow.  I planted these seeds the same time as the ones that I brought from my usual internet seed shop , they haven't grown as well as the ones from the seed shop however I'm still fairly pleased that anything happened. From reading around a bit I'm pretty convinced that even if they do grow they won't fruit much/anything but it was worth a shot. I also grew some sweet peppers from seed from super market produce as well, they also seem to be growing ok.

I picked up one of these windowsill greenhouses from ikea it's been great for transplanting my seedlings into once they have out grown the propagator.  Inside it this month are the Chilli's that have grown too big and one cucumber that I'd transplanted to a tetra pak to free up a cup for more Chilli's.  Hopefully once the sweet peppers have grown big enough I'll be able to place some of those in there too. The Chilli's I'm growing this year are Apache Jalapeno Twilight I mainly picked these because they were all mentioned in a book called Crops in Pots that I received for Christmas which is full of great ideas.
