I've just started a new job so have been getting minimal time to do stuff in the garden, and no time to chat about it.
So, catching up with the last week -
I've had to pull two of the courgette plants as they got mould/mildew? I blame the weather. The other three plants seem to have gone into overdrive to compensate though.
The cucumbers may have been slightly overwatered as I kept anticipating some sunshine to heat up the greehouse. They didn't like that and keeled over and died. They've been removed from the greenhouse now and I've rearranged it to give more room to the peppers and chillis.
The peppers were looking a bit squashed and I'd had to put some of them onto the floor, where they were very much in the way. It looks much better now and I'm hoping the extra air and light will help them to ripen. There is one ripe chilli on one plant so here's hoping.
I was a bit worried about the label in the Apache chillis. I got them from Notcutts when my seeds didn't seem to want to sprout. (they all sprouted nicely once I took the Apache home). According to the label these chillis are HUGE, so I'm really, really hoping it's a misprint
