How it all began

My chili growing project took its baby steps in the summer of 2011 when I planted my first seeds. I had just gotten my hands on some pointed sweet pepper/paprika seeds and was eager to try out. Little did I know my trial was doomed from the start.
It was June and the plants should have been flowering at that stage of the growth season and I was only just planting the seeds. After some time I had 3 sprouts growing in a pot I now know is way too small for even one to grow properly in. As daytime grew shorter and winter was slowly approaching my plants produced only one flower before dying shortly after.

The plants died but my enthusiasm did not. I decided to try again after the winter had passed.
