Gardening Inside and Out
Well, I guess it's a little late but I could give some posts on my gardening and indoor plants. At the moment I'm trying to grow a Trinidad Moruga Scorpion indoors, but due to its slow growing season, after two months it still only has a couple sets of leaves. At least it's indoors so I don't have to worry too much about the growing season not being long enough. I also have a much larger, older, cayenne pepper growing inside. It's a few years old, and about two and half feet tall. It is constantly growing new flowers, and in turn, fruit. I don't really know what I plan on doing with all the peppers I'm getting from it, I've already made enough hot sauce to last a few months. What I plan on doing is cutting them into pieces, frying them(after seeding them), coating them in a cheese blend, then breading it, making a sort of cayenne popper, as they are hotter than jalapenos, but not as big. I plan on planting the seeds from them to grow more pepper plants, which, if successful, should also last for quite a few years. Indoors, I am also growing a number of spider plants, a dwarf banana which refuses to get any bigger than its current two inches tall, and a dwarf coffee tree, which is doing quite well, but won't be fruiting for quite a while. As for my outdoor garden, I have a few flowers such as lavender and ajuga growing, although the main portion of my garden is taken up by fruits and herbs. I have a few bell peppers growing, and some eggplants, as well as some cucumbers in the back near the fence. Along with these I have a few herbs growing: spearmint, oregano, and dill. None of these plants are very large as of now, though. On my next post, I'll have to include some pics, but until then, this is it.
