Just for Fun - Wk 4

 NM Hatch Chilis

Not much to see here..the chili plants have grown, but not remarkably so. The plants are healthy, vigorous & sport a deep green that, I hope, is a predicator of the size & quantity of the fruit they will bear.


No flowers, as yet, but I expect we will start seeing buds on the larger plants. The 2 still in 3" pots will need to be transplanted soon, but there's no rush..probably some time this coming week. I hope to "gift" 1 or 2 this coming week..with the number of new projects coming on-line, I will need the space.

Dwarf Tomatoes 


The tomatoes have doubled in size & another week's growth will mean they'll be crowding the shelf they occupy. I'm not really sure just how tall these bush tomatoes will grow, but I do have floor space, which is probably their next stop.

As you can see, this pot houses 2 plants; I felt like the plants were too young to be ripped apart earlier in their development, but now I wonder if it will even be possible to separate them..I'll give them another week & see how they look.

Like the chilis, I hope to reduce their numbers before they get much larger..maybe next week?
