Hi all,

I’m new to gardening this year (i needed a hobby and have become fully invested) and i’ve grown jalapeño and serrano from seeds. i did two sets, in potting mix and and seed mix, and i learnt to sprout they take a while, but just wondering about the growth of seedlings. These were all planted as seed on august 15. the black tray were those growing in potting mix, planted in pots (between 2-4 weeks ago, i cant find my dates) and the ones on the ground were in pots just 5 days ago. i know peppers have a much slower grow time, but just wondering how long it takes to establish a plant, should i be expecting to wait weeks? is it slow, or am i doing something wrong? Any advice would be super appreciated.

for reference, i’m in melbourne, where it’s spring. it’s usually recommended for tomatoes and such to be planted outside first week in november, so these guys are living in a greenhouse, with the door open daily.

Hey all, saw this in post and thought it was super cute. Any suggestions with this as a theme? i’ve read one or two with it in there (but don’t want to list in fear of spoiler)

thanks!

Hello again brain trust!

i got given this chilli plant before i really learnt about gardening. I clipped back leaves and little branches after a few quick google searches, but basically left it outside in winter and just let it be what it was. I’m in melbourne, aus, heading in to spring (equivalent to zone 6 i think?)

this is it now. the branch isn’t tough and dry, and the google ‘scratch test shows it’s green underneath, but i’m a little sceptical. can it be saved by some fertiliser? at all? is there anything in particular i can do, or is it done? i dont even like spicy chillies, but ducks never say die 😅
