Germination

For the sowing, this year I first filled the container with Weibulls "så-och kaktusjord". Next I watered the soil with boiling water. After the soil had cooled off I then placed Weibulls "vermiculit" on top of the soil. I then placed the chile seed on the vermiculit and then placed some extra soil and vermiculit on top. Finally I carefully watered the container one last time. Then I placed the sowings on top of our heater where i suspect the temperature is at least 25 degrees Celcius. Hopefully this will do.

Chile Season #2: Sowing the Seed

Today I sowed new chile seeds for the 2011 season! In total I sowed 49 seeds divided on twelve different varieties. Eight of them are chosen mainly because I aim to use them for making chile sauce after harvest. The four remaining chile plants are chosen only because I have never sowed them before and I therefore only plant one seed each of them. These four chiles are: HABANERO CHOCOLATE, HABANERO FATALI, HABANERO LEMON, & SWEET BANANA. The other chilepeppers are as follows: CHIHLUACLE NEGRO (5 seeds), JALAPEÑO (8 seeds), HABANERO (5 seeds), SCOTCH BONNET ORANGE (5 seeds), SCOTCH BONNET RED (5 seeds), BHUT JOLOKIA (5 seeds), HOT LEMON (aka LEMON DROP) (6 seeds), & ANCHO GRANDE (5 seeds).
