20/4/25 - Light watering with tomato feed and also a calcium additive - assuming the earth bed has been washed of nutrients during the past 3 months. Notice leaf curl on the 'Tomohon Market' chillis which can be an indication of calcium depletion.

27/12/24 - Planting at separate end of flower bed to curb cross pollination. slighty early for batch 2 but again no choice before leaving for 3 months.
All looking healthy and 'Batch 1' already 8" tall..... hopefully should do well!

Incidentally, both that had been earlier watered with feed Ref: 25/09/24 'first potting' and those that didn't with just water = no difference in growth between them, all good!
