When you venture down the greenhouse once or twice a day it's difficult to notice that things are growing. But when I look back at the last post from about 2 weeks ago, I can clearly see that everything has bulked up. The weather has not been great, but it's been good enough and the proof is there to see in the greenhouse.
So what's new? Well there are buds on almost every plant, flowers on most things and pods on a few varieties so far. Pods are most apparent on the 7 pot Barrackpore, Inca Red Drop, Serrano, Trinidad Perfume and Bunte Mischung. I'm hoping to add the Black Naga and Ecuadorian Brown to that list soon.
I've also been lucky enough to have a few ripe pods off the Peruvian Purple in the office in the last week or so. This has grown really well, but despite my best efforts the pollination level is low and there is severe flower drop. Still, as a novelty it is holding its own.
So latest pictures:
