Day 9

No more monkeys!
The shoots have started to take over the pot and the monkeys have retreated in fear. However they have defeated Mr Blue and put up their own flag so we are expecting to see more from them soon.

Day 8
Monday 30th July
Now there are shoots peeping out we have visitors flocking to the chilli plantation to see. There are two new monkeys waiting patiently to be allowed into the pot for a closer look at the chillis.
Meanwhile, the pirates have taken a dislike to Mr Blue and look like they are going in for the kill. Will Mr Blue survive this attack??

In a dramatic turn of events three newcomers have arrived on the battlefield that is the chilli pot. So far the intention of these pirates is unclear. Have they come to defend the chilli plants and take on Mr Blue, or are they here for a more sinister reason? We will keep a close eye on the situation. |
On a different note, it seems it could take a while for us to see any action from the chilli seeds themselves. The Chilli King suggests that it could take anything from one week to six weeks:
The time taken for germination varies greatly between varieties. More common varieties such as Apache or jalapeno usually germinate in anything between 1-3 weeks. Other more fickle varieties such as Habenero may take up to 6 weeks or longer. The key is to be patient!It's hard to say what type of chilis we are trying to grow.

The Independent Republic of Soniquistan leave their mark
Invasion!
Today the chilli seeds have been subject to an attack by a mystery figure bearing a flag. They are maintaining their cool and staying hidden under the soil. We are impressed with this battle tactic so far.

Not much is going on in the world of the chilli plant so far.
We read that you should keep them consistently watered, unless there is a lot of rain. This is unlikely to be a problem.
