IMPORTANT NEWS: A break from my studies to post an announcement — ALL three of my new chilli plants now have chilli’s growing. A rough count shows at least three or four on each plant. I will post pictures later today to confirm this momentous occasion.

Important news

Careful examination of the dowel I installed in the pot and marked shows the increase in hight.

As mentioned in previous posting my plans are to pot up Huey Dewey and Louie from their existing 4″ pots up to 10″.
I have also added dowel sticks from Huey and Dewey’s pots and marked with a line to show how high these guys are.
