Since the beginning of 2012, we have been growing a variety of plants, predominantly chillies using the easy2grow extension kit. The seeds were germinated in January and raised indoors until early March, when they were put outside on heated benches. In mid April, they were potted up into the 8.5 litre pots and placed in a warm area within the greenhouse. Due to the terrible weather that we’ve had through April, May and June, we had to keep the plants in a warm area delaying us putting them into the 2Pot trays. Towards the end of May, we placed the 1000 potted chillies in the easy2grow extension trays to grow in the main greenhouse area. In the smaller area of the green house, we are growing Thai Aubergines, Thai Birds Eye Chillies, Thai Melons and Tomatoes. We’re hoping the weather will improve as we’re 6-8 weeks behind schedule, but unfortunately it is not something we can control. If the weather brightens up over the next 3-4 months we can yield the 2-3 kilos that we expected at the start of the year but everything is dependant on weather.
