So I'm about to harvest onions for the first time, I can't leave them on top of the bed because I have a dog that eats everything... My greenhouse tent will be too humid as it's full of chillis so I've made this make shift rack in my shed. Will they dry out ok in here? Or does it need proper airflow?
Mixture of Habenros, cayenne, scotch bonnet a few generic chilli plants as well as sweet peppers, tomato and garlic chive.
Few of them showing transplant shock but with the hot weather coming I'm excited to see how they do. Planning on getting a lean to greenhouse later in the summer as well so hopefully the tent is a temporary measure!
Grew these over winter, most of the stalks have collapsed, do I have to wait for the leaves to brown off first or are they ready to go now?
Was hoping to get these outside (or at least in the greenhouse tent) this week but weather forecast is saying it's going to drop down as low as 1 Celsius overnight 😩 1st image is my scotch bonnets, 2nd is some chilli seeds that I found in a garden centre, I wish I kept the packaging but it boldly claimed the plants can grow approx 300 chillis per plant ...
Last year was my most successful year for chilli growing, whilst I wait for this year's crops to grow (trying scotch bonnets for the first time this year), thought I'd share my 2025 haul. Grown zone 9a UK.
This is one of my over winter onions, I noticed yesterday that the top part of the bulb was showing through, is this normal as they grow or should I get some more compost in there to cover it?
On the left is a generic chilli plant, the right is Scotch Bonnet. I'm zone 9A in the UK and have a greenhouse Tent in pretty much full sunlight ready to go outside. Are these guys good to go in it now? Also ignore the weeds in the background, it's next on my list...
