Cili Padi : This year's crop


Last year, I didnt manage to put any of my cili padi to crop, so I was glad that the seeds still managed to sprout. In fact, I left them in the airing cupboard and forgot all about them, hence they were a little leggy to begin with. But with some sunshine and care, they seem to be doing fine just now. The plan this year is to try to harden them and grow them outside, so fingers crossed that it will be a good summer with lots of warmth.

Growing okras




This year, other than growing the usual chilli and because I now have a garden, I will attempt to grow other fruit and vegetables. First up is Okras, I was surprised that the seeds started to sprout just after 3 days, they are now 2 weeks old and starting to grow their second set of leaves...fingers crossed that they will survive!
