The first thing to get done today was to plant out chile peppers and aubergines in the greenhouse where I spread compost yesterday. The peppers are a mix of Malawi Piquant, Biquinho and Khang Star Lingria, the last of which was a freebie with my order from Chillichump.
That done, I moved on to the polycrub, weeding again. This space has been largely ignored for the last nine months thanks to the many other problems I’ve had to deal with. It hasn’t even had a door on, so won’t have been the warmest space over Winter. Regardless, my weeding revealed two pepper plants that have survived and started shooting despite not even being watered in the heat we had a couple of weeks back. I’ve no idea what variety they are, but I can’t justify pulling up plants that have demonstrated such a will to survive so I’ve given them a good watering and we’ll see what happens now they’re not smothered by Cleavers and thistles.
I started spreading compost once the weeds were clear but didn’t get very far, so finishing that off will be tomorrow’s job.
