My gardening successes and failures
Hi there my Steemit friends and followers!
I love growing plants from seeds and I have already produced several modest achievements in this gardening discipline.
To name some, I have managed to grow my own papayas...
...mangoes...
...and avocado.
For almost a month now, I have been trying to grow my habanero peppers but as you can see in this photo, the stubborn seeds have not even germinated yet.
I know that some habanero seeds can take up to 2 weeks to germinate but I have been keeping these guys moist and warm for almost a month now and there is still not even the slightest change to them. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong here? Are there any chili pepper growers among you, my Steemit fellows? Let me know in the comments below ;)
Also, if you have managed to grow some plants yourself lately and you want to share those gardening successes of yours with us, feel free to do so! I would love to see your green thumb´s accomplishments :)
Some great looking plants. Chili's are definitely slow to germinate, but giving the fact a month has past they should have sprouted. You might need to get some fresh seeds.
Here is one of my indoor hydroponic setups. Bok choy and lettuce. I have many micro-greens going as well. When it is well below zero outside the salads are wonderful.
Look forward to more garden related posts.
What country do you live?

Wow, this looks amazing! Like a little gardening lab :) I can see you are from North Idaho so this might be the only option to grow some veggies in the cold part of the year I guess. Thank you for sharing your experience with us, much appreciated!
We are currently based on the Mayan Riviera, Mexico (hence the habaneros hehe :)
Yes to have fresh vegetables this tme of year indoors is the only way. I have a small greenhouse that I wait until late February or early March to start heating. I raise all my out door starts from seed. I also do some early container gardening (cucumbers and tomatoes).
I have a total of three of the above set ups, but the others are potted or trays of micro-greens. Plans are to expand this area before next winter. I will need to remove one set up and build another that is larger.
Good luck with your chilis!
Wow, you must be a very dedicated and experienced grower! Why don´t you blog about it on Steemit? I would be an avid reader :)
I do blog about both indoor and outdoor gardening, flowers (these photos are most popular), nature and wildlife....

I thought you mostly post flower photos. I better give you a follow not to miss out on anything from now on :) Thanks for stopping by!
I try I post a mixture, but the flowers are most popular. In view of that I try and satisfy my active follower's likes.
Beztak jednou budeme mnet bananovo-papayovú plantáž :)))
Jo. S mangískama ;)
Hezky ti to roste :-)
Papričky pěstuji na balkoně, už jsou to klony asi druhé generace. Prostě je na jaře zasadím do hlíny v truhlíku, zalévám, až vyrostou malé rostlinky, tak protrhám. Hnojím mírně nějakým tím Krystalonem a jdou jako blázni.
Netuším, proč ti neklíčí, nemáš stará semínka?
A jaké odrůdy máš? Semínka stará nebyla - vlastoručně jsem si je vyloupal z čerstvých habaner vypěstovaných přímo tady v Mexiku. Nevím, v čem byl problém...
Netuším bohužel, co to je za druh, sáček od nich už nemám. Každopádně jen po sklizni vyberu semínka z paprik, nasuším je a po zimě vysadím. A roste to. Asi budeš muset vyzkoušet nějaká jiná semínka ;)
Those mangoes look like carnivorous plants, lol
Haha they do! :D
Plant the plants that we plant and see that growth is very pleasant
