Phase 2: Tomatoes Started and Chilis are 6 weeks old 🌶️🌶️

Phase 2: Tomatoes Started and Chilis are 6 weeks old 🌶️🌶️ - Garden Season 2018 - Update #5

What's up, Steemians.

Phase 2 is starting and I put my tomatoes into the soil last weekend. Tomatoes grow very quickly and I do not need so much time in advance to get big plants. In comparison, the chilis grow much slower. So it is the right time to start to be ready beginning of May. 😊

I go this season for 2 different types of tomatoes. One is the Russian, big, dark tomato Tschenomor. I had this one already last season and the results and taste were very good. I am happy to plan those again.

Additionally, I try a new type, which is the “De Barao Red”. As per description the tomatoes should have a great taste and produces up to 3 kg per plant. This sounds great. Let’s give it a try.

Update on the chili

I like the continuous growth of the chili plants. Look how big they are after 6 weeks. There is still enough space in the grow box. So I am not concerned to move them out in the next weeks.

View into the 2nd grow box:

Nice green leaves. The fertilizer seems to work:

To Do:

I keep the chili in the grow box for the next couple of weeks. If the weather gets better in April and more light is available. I will move them to the window sill in our living room.

I keep you posted on the progress.

How are your season preparations going forward?
