Some progress (finally)

A lot has changed since Thursday. Little seedlings have been sprouting out of the soil everywhere. There are a potential 3 more Jalapeno seedlings to join the other one that was evident on Thursday.
Jalapeno seedlings (there are 4 seedlings, promise). Also this kind of looks like a smiley face :D


A strong Anaheim seedling has appeared but this looks like the only Anaheim seed to germinate. I also have two Tabasco seeds that have germinated which will with time hopefully turn into strong seedlings. I am excited about growing Tabasco Chillies as I am a not a fan of Tabasco sauce. Hopefully I will able to use them in a much tastier way.

Probably the type of Chilli I am most excited about growing is the Hungarian Wax. I like the interesting yellows and orange chillies that can be grown. This has been the least successful of the five varieties I got in this growing kit. There is one germinated seed that has pushed through the soil but it is the small.
The pot with the Demon Chilli seeds had shown some good germination. There are 4 little growths protruding through the soil. These can be quite exciting to grow as the fruit on this plant will grow upwards. This is similar to what will happen to the Tabasco Chillies.

I have taken a Bell Pepper pot from my Poly Tunnel invention and put it on my windowsill. I am want to compare which is the best way to germinate seeds and grow my plants with the equipment I have at my disposal. I am planning to make a new structure to replace the Poly Tunnel. The current structure is not very high and some of the plants are quickly progressing towards the top of it.

My other five older plants (Habanero, Banana and the 3 supermarket variety (I think that is what I will call them)) are all doing very well. My best supermarket variety plant has two open flower with one already having a fruit growing inside.
