igenlode: The pirate sloop 'Horizon' from "Treasures of the Indies" (Default)
The larger chilli is nine and a half inches tall and is now in full flower (and I think has set its first nub of fruit) and the small one is seven inches and growing vigorously, and needs repotting. I have had some tomatoes with seeds in, although there are still coming out seedless; the catch-up towel-tomato is now bushy and flowering, and the others are now looking a bit droopy and past it, though that may be from the weight of fruit having bent down the branches -- the Roma tomatoes are ripening, and that plant is still looking quite perky at the tip. I don't actually know if this is a determinate or indeterminate variety (the others are definitely dwarf bush tomatoes), so that may well be the difference!

Honesty(?), cornflowers, purple packet, rudbeckia )

The kale on the window sill germinated within only a couple of days, to my surprise; a couple of seedlings came up last night in the beetroot tub, but I rather suspect they are not actually beetroot.

The eating peas have definitely finished and the plant dried up, but I can't actually remove it as its stick is currently supporting the neighbouring towel-tomato... The sweet peas have almost finished likewise, but they were definitely a great success. I have left one pod on, but I am not sure it will actually develop into anything before the parent plant simply dies off.
