    Twang's Chillis 2009

    Hi everyone, I love growing chillis and I always keep a close record of my progress on various forums. Here are a few pics of my plants this year, I planted 2 batches. One in November, 250 plants, and the second in January, 150 plants. 200 varieties in total, all have been started indoors under growlights in a controlled enviroment and some gradually moved into a greenhouse...

        Twang, I've moved your thread onto the Showcase thread, as Vegging Out is more for asking for advice etc.

        Your chillis look lovely & very healthy btw

          Some interesting chillies there twang. Looking good.

          Will you be seed swapping later in the year?

                Must say, I am a little envious - my chilli growing operations were a bit hampered this year by a combination of breaking an ankle right at the wrong moment, and our 2 (lucky to still be alive ) kittens who got into the propagaors and wrecked my first sowings! So we're a bit late, and some of my 'precious' varieties I ran out of seeds for...
                Never mind, there's always next year

                  It is a shame I didnt join this forum sooner. I did have hundreds of plants in small pots that I could post. I had a go at selling them on ebay but they've got too big now. I would have been more than happy to send you some for free. I may take some cutting for you as I can have them well rooted in a few weeks.

                    We have a little social group you might like a look at? There's a few 'chilli-heads' have listed what they're growing this year etc. http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...illi-like.html

                      I have raked the soil and planted the seeds
                      Now I've joined the army that fights the weeds.

                          They will catch up in no time, I did start mine very early. Chillis continue to fruit until September in a GH and all winter if you bring them in.

                            Most species propagate easily from cuttings, Im now off to work but ill give a few tips when I get back.

                              Thanks for the pictures - I love them but the old chilli envy surfaces again.

                              Mine are tiny but they're healthy looking so I guess it's a matter of waiting.

                              Would love to hear about the cuttings and please keep updating this thread - I'd love to see the plants as they progress even more as time goes along.
