Chile colony started on Staten Island.
Posted: June 3rd, 2009 | Author: mtc | Filed under: growing | 1 Comment »Recently back from setting up satellite garden number three in St. George, Staten Island. Thanks to the kind hospitality of Jason and Ondine around 25 containers and baby chiltepin, de arbol, and hatch plants are in the field. This site will be a real experiment as it’s definitely what I would call semi-shade. Hard to tell exactly how many hours of full sun the plants will get but I’m guessing less than six. It will be interesting to see how the plants produce in these conditions. I’m super thankful for the space in any case.
Wondering how your chile colony went in Staten Island? I’m starting a hatch chili business in Brooklyn and would love to try to grow a couple hatch plants in my garden next season.
