With the garden inaccessible due to the bad weather i have decided to turn my attentions to the office windowsill!

We have a few plants on the go here, firstly the now three year old chilli plant. (unsure of variety). It’s already growing it’s first chillies of the year. Grows big medium strength fruit. We keep it heavily pruned so it doesn’t outgrow the windowsill!

Paul and I also like to grow avocados from seed, this is one that was raised from seed last year. looking pretty good. Apparently it takes 15 years before they will grow fruit. Our oldest plant is about 3 years old and about 8ft tall! If anyone is interested i will post a guide. Good one for the kids or fully grown adults like us…

A few chili plants growing from seed. They are doing really well here in the heated office. only planted about two weeks ago.

The first of my gourds! This is the only gourd that has grown so far. Its a Birdhouse Gourd, if it grows as It should it will produce some amazing looking fruit that can be dried out and carved out to make a birdhouse.
