Growin' chillies by the window....in scotland

FMK, your plants are looking good too man, I've got weeds in my garden outside too but it's all good, it's that "wild lettuce" so

haha yeah PN , if you Finnish it it's free, think I can do it I've got a strong stommach for spicy food

Haha just broke the " barrier" FMK

Faster than a speeding bullet tae , see how ive patterned or spaced the plants Daz , like a wagon train circles , its repeated throughout the garden with big bushy plants like tomatoes and peppers , it should be perfect for growing within the circle and quite concealed.Ive heard bending the tip of the plant over toward ground , tying it off is not a bad idea and it apparantly can help produce bushier plants.I think ill cross that bridge when i get there.

yeah man, i notticed, its a great idea kind of like LST (low stress training) when you bend the plants?

A bit like bonsai trees i suppose eh ? Along those lines maybe , im definately going to give it a go out there.Im pretty sure i seen one wee newbie out there today ive been expecting.Ive another in a big pot and ill dot one or two others around the place.

I think he has to Daz , or theres no show and he gets bagged.Thats pretty average for him,i seen him eat these tacos once,there were 7 chillis involved with jalopeno being the mildest all the way up to a sauce made from pureed ghost chillis , everything in between.I think he ate about 9 or more of those , i couldnt imagine anything much hotter than puree of ghost chilli sauce...just nuts.

Hey Newbud123 , did you get on the wall of fame for scoffing that ?

red and greens.

Great job PN , your miles ahead of us and lookin good there.

Chilli plants needs,plenty of hot sun,to produce chillis.

I think the Daz is in a good spot for sunshine Joe , on the east coast of scotland gets some pretty decent weather.The gulf stream runs along a good part of scotlands coast,ive seen outdoor palm trees generations old in a lot of towns.With whats happening in the gulf now one wonders , oil could be washing up just about anywhere in the world.

haha yeah man, ive seen palm trees in the isle of skye quite unreal, white sand and palm trees. made me ask the question '' am i in scotland? '' lol

FMK , when you stayed over here did you ever go up to Aviemore?

think im gonna be getting strawberry plant cuttings the day

but first im gonna have breakfast then go to the gym

Aye , my sister and bro in law still like to go there to aviemore.Campbeltown theres loads of palms too.Strawberrys eh ? Ye'll need a net mate or the birds will nick them.

nice one man, i go up there every year , i go to loch morlich, theres a beach there :S and it gets pretty hot aswell
aye im gonna make a wee chicken wire cage thingy, to keep them out .

hey guys , its another scortching hot day in edinburgh
just back from the gym and i had a wee jog round the park.

Thought id show some pics of how nice a day it is here

Nice . . thanks for the pics Daz , beautiful.Its no a bad start to the day here , its a wall of heat out there walking out the door.Plants outside will be loving this.

One wee emergency i had yesterday was the wee plant i had in the huge bucket was doing so well..i should have put something in to support it.Well it snapped under its own weight , buckled the stem.
I would have thought it was a done deal and id need to start again.I piled soil in around it up to its "neck" as it were which gives a lot of support and im pretty surprised to see it appears to have survived and in fact progress.Im glad i didnt hook it out of there like i was going to.

daz your pics make me hate this desert area even more. those two pics were the same plant, i could get one of the banana peppers later on. My strawberry plant is weirding me out at the moment, do strawberries vine out?
