Forward progress

Hello all!

Long time no update but things are going well so far. I got two Bolivian Rainbows, two Champions and one Lemon Drop climbing up nicely. Too bad my camera departed from me at the VI Finjamboree scout camp. I'll prolly get it back from lost & found on Monday so I can put up some pics of my plants. Also next week I'm planning to go check out possible materials for my "growing closet" I've been planning. The sun won't be too friendly anymore in about a month's time and I've had my 125W fluorescent light doing nothing since I got it last January so I have to play carpenter in very near future.

Firing it up

Ok folks here's the deal!

Being interested in cooking for years has lead me to the stage where I'm planning to start growing my own chiles. I've always loved the taste of chili and I joined the Finnish Chili Association last summer. Hopefully this week I'll get to plant the complimentary Lemon Drop and Champion seeds that I got for joining. Maybe next week I'll start sketching some sort of frame for the reflector and pots. I got 3 - 4 weeks before I go back to Ireland for the rest of my exchange studies and I hope to get everything set before that so I can make the "babysitting" of my chiles as effortless as possible for my family over here :)

Well, nothing interesting happening yet but I'll post some update when the seeds are in the dirt.
