Christmas sowing - Orange Wonder Chili

Orange Wonder Chili seeds.

Today I decided to pop open Mr. Fothergill's Orange Wonder Chili seeds that was given to me by Bob from Australia. Orange Wonder is a upright pointing Capsicum annuum variety that has fruits that ripen orange instead of red. The company rated the chili heat at 3/5 and the chili is ready for harvest in 10 - 14 weeks time, which makes this variety a moderately long season grower, not that it is of any matter here in the tropics.

Decided to use a plastic egg carton as the rectangular shape makes it easier for me to arrange the seedlings as opposed to those sown in little yogurt tubs. The cover of the egg carton also makes a good humidity chamber or if placed beneath the tray, as a bottom watering tray or spill tray to catch excess water.

Sown 2 Orange Wonder seed in each egg compartment of an
egg carton.

Grow my little Orange Wonders.... hehehe

So today (Dec 25th 2016) is Day 0... Will keep a log on this variety and see how the plants do. Merry Christmas!
