I have been doing lots on planting and re-potting today. My first job was to set up the mini-poly tunnel that my mum had spare. With her help, some black electrical tape and some clothes pegs I attached it to a table. I wanted a structure that would provide a warm environment which be Slug and Snail proof at the same time. The lack of space on my windowsill means this space will allow to grow many more plants.

I then set about re-potting my Bell peppers. This was quite a fiddly job due to the large number of seedlings in a very confined space. Some of the roots had become in twinned in other plant's roots. Once again with the help of my mum the seedlings were divided into 13 pots and placed in the newly constructed poly tunnel.
At the same the same time I also re-potted the 3 chilli seedlings which had been growing in the same pot as one of my older chilli plants. These plants were also placed in the poly tunnel.

My next task was to plant my Santa Fe Grande and Bulgarian Carrot seeds. I planted 10 of each of the seeds in ice cream container filled with multi purpose compost. These two pots are on my windowsill.

I have also planted 5 of each seed in compost from the quick mix compost that i purchased at the South Devon Chilli Farm. I have please these pots in the poly tunnel. I am trying to find out which is the best way to germenate seeds.
A busy half day in the garden. Hopefully these plants and seeds grow well so I have lots of chillies and peppers in Autumn/Winter.
