Finally a little currant bun

It's taken it's time arriving, but it looks like we're about to get some sunshine. I just hope it lasts longer than the short term forecast of a week or so. A couple of months would be nice, with an Indian summer running into October would be my preference. 

Anyhow. All is going fairly well in the greenhouse, regular watering and feeding lightly every other day seems to be getting things moving nicely. Stars of the show are the Praetermissum and Mini Rocoto (both 6ft tall), although the Marouga Yellow is having a good go too. 

A couple of the plants are a little less impressive, the Pimenta de Neyde is not doing much and the 7 pot is a little small. But mostly things they are a-growing. 

I actually had my first fresh chillis yesterday - 2 green CAP 267s made it into my lunch. Not very hot or remarkable, but nice anyhow. I shall have to grab a few for lunch at work. 

So a few photo highlights. Most are as labelled, the other one if the mini rocotto. The latter is growing great guns, but the pods dont seem to be setting yet - hopefully a warm spell will help.
