From tiny seeds, spicy plants might grow (if we all keep our fingers crossed)
We’re not particularly renowned for our green fingered attributes in the Wahaca head office. The one thing we do have however is access to a lot of chilli seeds. So, this week, we’ve seized upon the recent bout of good weather and have started up a little chilli growing competition in our secret Soho hideaway.
We’ll keep you posted on how things go over the coming months, but for now, here are a couple of photos of how we got started.
For a small pot, could there be a little overcrowding going on?
You can just tell Oli's done this before. But will his 3 seed approach pay off?
Of course, like any wannabe chilli grower, we didn’t even think about touching a trowel until we’d watched the incredibly informative musings of our very own chilli expert and his series of videos, which you can find on this very blog.
The line up. The head office's pots, complete with specially commisioned plastic greenhouses.
Keep your fingers crossed for some green shoots of success poking through the soil soon. The hot money’s on Katie from accounts, but at this stage, it’s anyone’s game.
If you’re growing chillies and have some tips for us, or would like to leave some words of encouragement, please get in touch by leaving a comment below.
