Hi everyone, I bought some seeds from South Devon Chilli Farm to use in my Aero Garden, and thought I'd share the progress with you all.

Here are the ones I bought first off...Jalapeno, Pimientos de Padron, Ring of Fire, Fuego F1

I've had an Aero Garden for 2 years, and it's fantastic for indoor growing. I used it to grow a load of herbs first time round, and after they were done, I had plans to grow chilli's but never got round to it. Anyway, fast forward 12 months and I've finally got round to strating using it again. Hence the reason why I bought some seeds. I should say that apart from the above mentioned seeds, I have some others that my partners step dad gave me 12 months ago that have been sat in my drawer. From memory I know that there was scotch bonnet seeds, and Ghost chilli seeds in there.

I set everything up in my Aero Garden on the 8th August, and as I write this on the 13th, I pleased to report that I have 3 little shoots coming through, and the others are just starting to open up. I'll try and keep this updated as a little diary to show the progress.

This image was taken on the 8th. Day of planting. I'll pop up the latest pic with the new shoots later on today.

I got the AeroGarden a couple of years ago as a christmas present off my girlfriend. It's classed as a hydroponic garden. Think they retail for around £100, but if your into growing things they are great. You move the top of the unit up as the plant grow as well. At the moment it's on it;s lowest setting.

You can also grow normal garden flowers in it. You can grow fruit as well, things like strawberries and tomatoes. I'd certainly recommend one to who ever was thinking about it.

New picture today 16th August. All but one have come through now.The Jalapeno is leading the pack, with the Pimientos de Padron close behind
