Seedlings for Sale

By geekgardener, on April 1st, 2011

Hello Gardeners!

Back when I started out on veggie gardening, the biggest challenge was to get the right seeds, start them well and grow them to transplanting stage. Sounds easy when we say it right?. Most of the gardeners get frustrated and even stop gardening if their seeds don’t germinate and even worse. Taking care of the germinated seeds is almost like taking care of a newborn.

And by the time, the beginner gets the seed to germinate and transplant, his/her enthu is almost gone!

What if there is a “Ready to plant” seedlings available to you. That is exactly the post is all about.   Seedlings for you when you want it.

I have now the following ready to plant seedlings for sale.

  • Red Cherry Tomato  (1 month old, Indeterminate)
  • Purple Long Brinjal – (1.5 month old)

The tomato is of indeterminate kind. So it needs staking and it yields for a long time.

A post is not complete without pictures.So, here you go.

NOTE: The seedlings are for local (Bangalore) pickup at my residence only. Since these are live plants, shipping is NOT possible.Sorry  folks, if you are from other state and are interested in this. Guess what, all is not lost, you can still order the seeds for these plants from me.

There is more variety of seedlings to come in future. Watch this space for exotics!

Bhut Jolokia Harvest – The Heat is ON

By geekgardener, on March 20th, 2011

The post on Bhut Jolokia, I made some time back, got lot of attention and so many of the readers wanted seeds too. No post on growing a vegetable is complete without talking about its harvest and Bhut Jolokia is no exception.

One aspect that is very different from other chilli plants is that the number of flowers. Bhut Jolokia flowers profusely with multiple flowers in a node. Not all of them set fruit. At least in my greenhouse ( with limited pollination), I was happy that 1 or two set fruit.

The plants are very sturdy and grow vigorously.

The fruit, as you see is little wrinkled and kind of gives a “bad boy” look. Believe me, the taste is no different from its looks. Very very fiery. I even thought I will post a picture of myself tasting it!

Bhut Jolokia fruits

I consumed few when they are green but for seed saving, I let all of them ripe on the plant. Look at the pic below. The whole plant was looking like as if there were 100s of Chinese lanterns hung on it.

Ripe Bhut Jolokia

What you see below is Batch #2 harvest. The previous batch was almost this much but the fruits were little bigger in size. All this will become seeds in a few days. There is still more fruits waiting to be plucked.

Every visitor who come to visit my garden gets so much excited when I tell them “This is the hottest pepper in the world, The Bhut Jolokia”. Few of them took a fruit or two to their home to taste it.  As always, I warn them before giving the pod. This is no Child’s play.

Next post: Caro rich, An orange beefsteak tomato that broke all previous records in my greenhouse in terms of weight. Stay tuned!
