Mislabeling

One of my Bird's Eye Baby chillies seems to be growing purple flowers which isn't charasteristic for this particular variation so now I'm waiting to get a Bolivian Rainbow with white flowers so I can change the labels to the correct pots. I should have paid more attention when replanting them but a little mix-up never harmed anyone. Chichen Itza has continued to flower strong and surprised me this week with the first pod of season 2013.

Clearing space

It's been raining quite a bit lately which means the snow is melting away nicely. Last sunday was one of the first days when it really felt like spring is coming. The plants have grown a bit longer since the last group photo was taken 2 weeks ago. I cleared some more room for them on the window still by giving away the extra sprout I had growing in a juice box. Just couldn't throw it away since it sprouted so nicely. One of the Bolivian Rainbows looks like it might be producing its first flower buds so the next update might be about that.

Winter again?

Winter has made a comeback during the past weekend. Just when it was looking that spring might finally arrive in the cold north we get 10-15cm of fresh snow. The plants have been busy branching out but could really use more of that warm spring sun we had. I may be over watering the scorpion again as it dropped one leaf.

April fools

Or a fool in this case for trying to grow too many plants on the small space reserved for them. Seeing that much snow outside on April doesn't really encourage you to move the plants on the balcony anytime soon. Chichen Itza keeps flowering strong with no pods yet, Trinidad Scorpion has started to spread out and has a few more flowers. Both Bird's Eye and Bolivian Rainbow sprouts are growing stronger and some of them have started pushing side branches which is something I've expected from the more "bushy" variations. Prairie Fire sprouts are still comfortably in the yogurt cups and currently growing their second patch of leaves.
