im growing chilli plants

but not in the garden

[kitten]

yes! i absolutely love gardening. i love nature and planting flowers,
it's probably my favourite thing to do during the spring time.

i think i really enjoy it because it uplifts my mood most of the time and seeing how many wonderful flowers there are just amazes me. i'm planting some flowers in my garden really soon so i am excited about that :)

[!:random!:!]

no... I get hay fever easily and grass makes me come out in a rash.... yeah am weird :/

[-:Undertaker:-]

I love gardening, my favourite hobby.

[Martin]

I don't mind doing little bits.


Last year I built a pond in the garden which was quite fun


This year I've made some hanging baskets for out the front, and have planted some strawberry plants :D

[lemons]

[lRhyss]

[Stadiums]

[Chris]

No I hate it. It sets my hayfever off and its boring.

What variety are you growing?
And if not in the garden, where?

I love me some gardening. Not landscape/ornamental/decorative type stuff, but edible plants. This year is a pretty quiet year for me, but I'm still growing 3 types of tomato, 5 types of chilli/pepper things, strawberries, chocolate mint, 2 types of bean, cucumbers, 2 types of peas, onion, garlic, 2 types of radish, lettuce, rocket, carrots and probably other things that I've forgotten about.

My hayfever is pretty bad this year though, which makes it a bit less fun :(

Edit: Ooo and I'm growing these plants that some people call electric daisies.

Nothing super interesting this year, just cayenne, purple cayenne, jalapeno, mild jalapeno and bell peppers. I've tried other varieties over the last couple of years, but I only really eat cayenne and jalapeno, so I thought I'd focus on them this year.
How big are your plants? You could plant seeds today and still harvest at least a handful of cayennes per plant by the end of the season if the conditions are right, so I wouldn't worry about it.
If you do superhots next year, start them as early as possible (I try to get mine in around november, but I have indoor grow lights and whatnot), pot them up when they need it until they're in ~25 litre pots, give them lots of support and just leave them to it, preferably in a greenhouse or something. You could try bigger/smaller pots, but I've found that size is a good balance between giving them space to grow and limiting them to force them to flower.

I hate gardening, it just brings back memories of when we were renting and we'd have to spend hours and hours in the garden to make it 'perfect'.

[Brad]

I have to admit that I have my own garden. I have half for fruit. (Blueberries and Strawberries) and the other half for vegetables (cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers)

Recently, I got my first strawberry... It's not ripe, but it's there!!

I love gardening. Really wish i'm not too lazy to do it.

is it normal for the seed leaves to dry up after the true leaves have formed? Watered my cayennes today and an hour later the seed leaves went all curled and crispy but the true leaves are fine :S

I like being out in the garden.. but not gardening :P

Yeah they always fall off. Some of my plants lose them after they've got a couple sets of true leaves, some keep them on for a couple of months, but they always lose them in the end. As long as your true leaves are fine, it's all good :)

[Sian]

the only thing I know how to do, is dig one up.

Don't ask me to plant anything, that's not my job :P

okie doke thanks

habaneros looking good though. Funny how massive the cayennes get before growing true leaves
leaves have started forming on the habaneros but the seed leaves are still little midgets

[Storking]

I grow a bunch of strawberry plants since they're stupidly overpriced in supermarkets

last year I also grew peppers, potatoes and tomatoes
