The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Just got up.....a bit late for me.
A lovely day here also.
We have the rest of the bedding plants to pot. First I was not up to it and then the weather changed.
Apart from that its a chill day.
Aldi have those peppers on sale today but I found out they were for outside and we wanted some for the conservatory so will give them a miss.

Are you talking peppers or chillis Dave? On Thursday our Aldi had very good chilli plants but no peppers. I realise today is when they start a new round of plant offers. The chillis were loaded with flowers - I'm going back for one at some point!!

Anyway in my view the same pepper can be grown in or out doors. Obviously your conservatory is warm and protected - ideal for a pepper. Outside peppers need a warm sheltered spot.

These plants are being sold as "outdoor peppers" to encourage those who don't have a greenhouse/conservatory - it shouldn't put you off. My peppers are inside all summer.

Morning all

Had a bit of rain overnight and now it's mizzly and grey. Hopefully, it'll clear as the morning goes on.
Booked a Sunday lunch at the York today.
First Sunday pub lunch since the start of the lockdown!

Morning all,
Drizzling nicely outside but still quite warm.
The usual dog walking and then a bike ride is the order of the day.
MrsP is not happy, she didn't get to sleep until gone 1pm ans was awake by 6 this morning.
Stay safe everyone.

The advert says chilli peppers and sweet peppers

Morning. Bit like yesterday. A nice start to the day so I have bimbled. It will also be like yesterday with the wind picking up too so glad I've been out. The old back is still giving me grief and pushing into a headwind nearly brings me to a halt these days

Morning I have inside as well as out

Hooded and erect!

As they should be, not on public view!


Never heard them called that before though.

@PaulSB
I am now the proud owner of
One sweet pepper plant
One cherry tomato plant
And
One patio sun flower.
Green fingered I am not but I will try not to kill them too quickly.
I need some decent sized pots
Plus
Some idea how to care for them

The ALDI hot chilli plants do well outside. I bring mine in over winter and hack them back to a stick, they sprout again the next year.

Afternoon. I have bimbled. Loads of numpties on the road. Motorbikes galore
Flash cars that are clearly in a group and must drive no more than 10 feet behind each other and must do whatever they can to scare witless by coming up behind you quietly, then revving their engines right behind you. Obviously they are not locals.

We debated hot Vs sweet chilli. We are not green fingered so wanted to try just one.
We can use a lot more sweet than chilli so went with that.
We have a conservatory with a sheltered patio.......we arr not sure which is best.
