Quick update

So the generally poor weather continues - odd splashes of sunshine, some rain, but lots of cloud. Net effect is that the plants seem to be doing ok, but not great. A few greenfly have appeared lately, but a quick squirt and they appear to be sorted. 

However, I am starting to see a few tiny signs of progress. First pods have appeared on the Fatalii and the CAP 253-C, and possibly the Peruvian Purple (difficult to tell at the moment). Nothing amazing, but it's good to see some small signs that things are growing. 

Many of the plants so far are starting to show signs of early buds (in fact some of the Habs have a really good showing to far), but time will tell if the weather is warm enough for them to set in due course. 

Overall it feels like a really slow season so far. Maybe it's just me, but I suspect the poor weather has a lot to do with it.
