Chilli Plants

At the end of last year's growing season, I took my pot grown chillies into the conservatory... After all, that's what 'conserve'atories are for!

I trimmed them back to their bare bones and kept them just moist.... Probably watering them a little 6 times throughout the winter (October to now)....

Before putting back in the greenhouse this week, I took them out of their pots and ruffled the lower root level before putting them back in their pot with a two inch base of fresh, well rotted manure.

Here they are with three new plants to replace the ones that sadly didn't make it through the winter.... Hoping the over winter ones pick up quickly over the next few weeks... It will be interesting to see how they compare with the new plants...
