Capsicum Annuum 'Jalapeno'

So much for indoor jobs... The storm flattened my improvised cloche (in case you can't tell from the photo it basically inverted itself and turned into a paddling pool 😭 ) so we were out in the rain today making version 2.0

The #jalapeno seedlings are starting to look a bit crowded. Think they'll need to go into more grown-up pots soon!

Was brighter than usual yesterday and these guys are looking a little yellow around the edges. Wonder if it's #sunburn ? #chilli #toomuchsun

First of the chillis!

I grew chillis a few years ago - used to keep them in my bedroom under a desk lamp for 12 hours a day.. never told my parents though 😖

Brilliant! 😎 How did they get on? Apparently they get more spicy with stress?

I kept one which produced a lot of chillis and gave my sisters one each which they killed.. took me probably 4 months to get them to a decent size and they killed them within a few weeks. Not sure about the stress, though I prob caused them stress at some point!
