Thoughts and ramblings of an ex-Londoner in Cambridge.
In a truly bad start to a holiday, I awoke with a headache. I’d not slept well, my head was pounding and I had pain in my left eye. Worse, because we had to leave in a hurry there was no time for coffee, so I downed some painkillers for the headache and opted to tough it out. This was a mistake.
(more…)The chillies were growing really well, and yesterday I transplanted the four Cayennes into a huge pot. Unfortunately, some of the roots were damaged in the process, and so they look a bit droopy today. I hope they recover.
The smaller habanero plants remain in the hydroponic unit.
The chillis are now a month old, and today was the first changing of water and pump cleaning. They appear to be growing well.
Two and a half weeks in and all the pots have at least one plant growing now, some have two. There’s one that’s far behind, and still has a plastic mini-greenhouse over it, but that should come off tomorrow or Sunday when the leaves start to properly spread out.
