Day 4

Day 4

Thursday 26th July

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.
