Watching my habanero chilis grow is so calming and nourishing — it might just be my favorite way to cope with the outside world.

This little green bubble brings me peace and a whole lot of joy!🌶️

Wow, this is amazing! It's April, and my habanero chili plants are flowering.🌸 I never thought I could overwinter them and have them bloom again, but here they are, proving me wrong. Aren't they gorgeous?! 😍

Another sunny day well spent! 🌞 The past two days have been beautifully warm (18 and 20°C) — absolutely perfect for letting the little ones have some outdoor fun for a few hours! 🌶️🌶️🌶️

A collection of small terracotta and plastic pots containing young chilli seedlings . I put the pots in two stainless steel trays. The trays are outdoors in a sunny spot against a house wall. The pots contain two varieties of chilli: lemon drop and black heart. The small plants are just beginning to sprout, with a few leaves emerging.

@gardening @homegrownfood And for those who think this is late for sowing, you're absolutely right. I had to focus all my attention on my Habaneros and UFO chillies in the first weeks of the year, since I overwintered them successfully.

Now is the perfect time for the new ones, and they will be just fine as they can move to a community greenhouse in a couple of weeks.

Aww, they are just the cutest! I love watching them grow! 🌶️🌶️🌶️

This season I also started with new chilli pepper seeds, and I can't wait to see them develop.

I sowed the seeds two weeks ago, and I'm thrilled to see the first young leaves of the lemon drop and the black heart appearing. The pasilla seeds are a bit quiet for now, but I'm sure they'll sprout soon too!

A set of grow tabs with seeds. Some of the seeds have sprouted, showing small green leaves.

Chilli Survivors 🌶️
Tried to overwinter my chilli plants this year—kind of a test run. I left one group outside (winters are usually mild here) and brought another group indoors. Sadly, the outdoor ones didn’t make it, but 8 out of 13 indoor plants are thriving with new leaves already! 🌱

Lessons learned:
-Keep them indoors.
-A sunny spot is best.
-Pruning is totally fine.
-Check for pests regularly.

@MarleenChocoladeteen Ah, wat leuk! Ik ga komend weekend ook weer van start.

Dit jaar heb ik trouwens van een kennis ook Lemon Drop zaadjes. Een andere vriend heeft nog Black Heart Chili zaadjes voor me geregeld.
En natuurlijk ga ik mijn eigen Habanero en UFO zaadjes zaaien.

Helaas heb ik maar plek voor vier soorten, dus daar moet ik het bij houden. 🌶🌶🌶🌶

Ik wens je veel plezier met je chillies!

Guess what! I harvested another 400g of gorgeous habanero chillies today. I put them in the oven at 60° for 10 hours to dry them out. I'd already pickled the first batch (also 400g) in oil, and they were so good!

I'd absolutely love to hear any great ideas or recipes on how to make a large quantity of chillies keepable.

Yes, yes, yes, after 170 days I could harvest the first habaneros.

Oh, I can really enjoy watching the chillies ripen. But it is also a bit nerve-wracking trying to sort out when to pick them for their flavour without knowing exactly when they are ripe enough.

This is a close up of two chillies hanging from a chillie plant. The fruit in front is green and red and the one behind is all red.

Summer rain can be beautiful. I hope the chilli plants like it too. I have put all the plants outside. Unfortunately some of the plants have lice. I hope the rain will wash them off.

A photo of three of my 54 chilli plants. The three plants are standing on a wooden table. The plants already have some fruits, some are still green, others are already red. On the green leaves are raindrops. In the background there are more plants.

My dear neighbour took care of the chillies while I was away. And what a surprise when I got back. There are already some red chillies :)

I am not sure when to pick them. Any suggestions are welcome.

Close up of a habanero plant. It is a plant about 45cm high with green leaves and a few chilli fruits. Some of the cillies are red and others are still green.

I'm a bit worried. My chillies are generally doing well, but I have just found this chilli fruit. It is the only one that is already turning orange (the rest are still green) but has a huge hole. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this?

Close up of a fruit hanging from a chilli plant. Most of the fruit is already orange. There is a large hole in the middle of the fruit. There are more chilli plants in the background.

Aren't they beautiful?
And it looks kind of cute that one of the smallest chillies is hiding next to one of the biggest chillies.

"Portrait" of a habanero plant. It is a plant about 45cm high with green leaves and a few chilli fruits. The fruit at the bottom is the largest and a very small one is growing next to it.

My chillies just make me happy.

What makes you smile?

Close-up of a habanero plant in front of a stone wall. The plant already has some chilli peppers. They are quite big but still green.

Luckily the chillies are enjoying the sun.

I'm suffering a bit from the heat, as I have to work and can't sit in the shade in my garden :(

This is a picture of some UFO chilli plants in pots, standing in the sun. They're about 50 cm high, with nice green leaves and some flowers.

No more room on the coffee table. I moved all 54 chilli plants inside because of the weather forecast: hail and tornadoes.

Hopefully the weather will be better tomorrow. The chillies are crying out for some sun.

An image of chilli plants in big pots on a table. Some of the plants already have green chillies. In the background, a curtain and a painting on a white wall.

The fruit of the chillie is growing very fast :)

Tomorrow I'm going away for a few days to visit a loved one. Unfortunately, I can't leave the plants outside. But my dear neighbour will look after them and water them.
I am curious to see how big the chillies will be when I get back.
