Moving outside, batch #1 (~77 days)



The first lot to go outside. A Thai Orange, a Szentesi and a Rocoto Canarios.

Note the wire to discourage our local cat that uses this wall as a shortcut!

After I put these guys out the weather turned grey and cold and very windy. I watched in horror from the kitchen window as they looked very cold and sad...

Rocoto Canarios (21 days)

Another picture of the Rocotos - it is the biggest of all of the seedlings now. It is finally putting out some new leaves!



All seedlings are out of the propagator now.

It seems that I don't have any Goat Horn after all - I was misreading my labels! All others have sprouted at least one though.

Hairy Rocoto Canarios Seedling



This Rocoto Canarios seedling is one of the hairiest yet!

My first sprout picture



The Rocoto Canarios seedling. It hasn't quite poked its head out, but you can see the bend of it's neck. There's also sign of life in some others. I'm expecting leafage tomorrow...

First sprout for Ralph

Oh yes, it might be tiny, teeny and hardly visible, but the Rocoto Canarios has sprouted.

Just as well, as the Colonel texted me at 8:55am today to tell me that he had 3 more...

Picture to follow later, as the wife has the camera with her.

An interesting fact from Wikipedia about Rocotos (see title link):

The plant has purple blossoms and the seeds are dark brown or black. The plants grow up to 6 ft high if supported.
