Beneath my harvest you'll see just one small bunch of them still left in the ground. After planting this first group, and realizing how well they were taking off in the garden, I decided to grow through the whole packet of seeds throughout different areas of the garden...looks like we'll be enjoying these for a while. I separated the planting by about 2-3 weeks, as they take between 4-8 weeks before harvest and I didn't want to get a whole bunch at once, but rather enjoy them over a period of time.
This small chili pepper did really well until May, when I decided to harvest everything to start a collection of dried peppers...and finally we can see some new growth, flowers, and few small chilies scattered about.

A whole bunch of different varieties of tomatoes self-seeded the past few months, and they've survived shockingly well for this garden and climate. We're just starting to enjoy the benefits.
And there you have it, the current state of affairs...
Can't believe you've got tomatoes already. Just about to put the seeds in down here...
ReplyDeleteHey Karen, do you normally plant your tomatoes from seeds?
ReplyDeleteTechnically, mine are from seeds, but they were just in the compost that I added to that raised bed to add some nutrients...they self-seeded.
They've actually been going for a few months now, and I've been shocked at how well they're doing...anytime I personally plant seeds or even seedlings, they never last.
Good luck with yours and let me know how they go (pictures!)
