That's really cool and easy to get kids interested in planting and growing things. The weirdest thing I can remember coming in a can, was a dress. LOL Thank you for sharing.
Searched RUclips for help with ours. First minute solved our problem, there was no plastic bit with instructions & seeds!!!! Might have to source some chilli seeds next time I’m at the shops!
yeah, although oddly, mine had seeds inside the can too (perhaps almost as if they expect the plastic bottom to get misplaced). You can just save seeds from inside a fresh chilli - dry them a few days on a piece of paper before planting.
I have 18 chilli plants all from this 1 can now re-potted and growing well. I don’t have the can anymore so could you check the kind of chillis they grow please as I forgot
Favourite bit of this video was definitely dog’s nose ❤️. Do you have a PO address so people can send you things? Or will “Atomic Shrimp Somewhere Near Southampton I Think” get to you ?
or just buy one chilli pepper, get the seeds out and stick them "fresh" immediately in pots / soil 1cm down, preferably with a plastic bag around it, like a tiny greenhouse, thats it, fresh seeds can germinate in about 3 or 4 days. if you can grow grass or dandelions , you can grow chillies.
Makes sense they stash some in the soil. All seeds have a chance of failing. That just hedges your bets. How did this plant go by the way? Bought one for myself a week ago and sprouting already
It grew into a decent plant - somewhat set back by the fact I waited too long before potting on into a larger pot - it produced only a small number of average-looking and tasting fruits, but that might be due to my lack of care
@Rybo Stain actually moved them before they sprouted but to a not much bigger pot .They still should sprout though. I'd preen them once it's clear which one is strongest or replant them if you wish as it could provide enough seedlings for multiple plants. Theyll likely all start pushing up in the next couple of weeks. Two more just sprouted for me today so there are likely seeds quite far down.
@Rybo Stain yeah they just grow in the direction opposite gravity until they feel sunlight and can start photosynthesis for energy or they run out of fuel in the seed and die. I'm quite new to growing things too lol
I got one if these at Xmas. You say 2 months for flowers/fruit? Mine has been going 9 months, is 8 foot tall and no flowers or seeds. Mine has been on miracle grow, used filter coffee, and human poo.
Cut it down to about 2-3 ft and stop feeding it until the flowers come. Once the flowers self-pollinate and the fruit grow, stop watering in order to ripen the chillies.
You really should show us how it turns out in the same video. I just watched you talk about a can of dirt. And put some water on some seeds. (Exciting, not) I love most of these videos but you really diddnt show us how good the product was. It’s like if you showed us a can of pickles or something and described them as best you could but then when you went to eat it the video just cuts out.
Whenever I do a video about something that develops over time, it's a balancing act between uploading now, and showing people what I have, or waiting a lot longer and showing people the end result - for example with pickled wild garlic, if I wait until it's ready to eat, it's too late for anyone watching to go out and pick their own. I guess I figured that the growing of a chilli plant was commonplace compared to the novelty of seeds and soil in a can.
To be fair, the majority of Ashens' video appear to be static shots of a sofa while someone eats (or pretends to eat. How would we even know?) something nasty off-camera. It's the opposite of engaging video to me, but he has a massive following.

LOL! We love seeing Eva's little head pop up to check things out when you leave the table lol
The first thing I thought of when I saw the name "Eva" in your comment was Eva from Wall-E.

Ha! Love that movie =)

Like your dog. Glad they didn't try to eat your can of compost.

Eva clearly wants her own segment on the channel. Dogfood in weird cans or summit.
Best dog ever! :D
Yay! Here's a bean plant update...kinda...a quick glimpse anyhow
when?
Just opened mine. Exactly the same can. Fingers crossed it works!
Mine had some seeds already in too!!!
Such a cute dog. Calling him shadow because he's always behind Shrimp
Indeed but... Eva (name of the dog) is a girl

Cherry pepper

Got this as a Christmas present yay

Hey Shrimp, is there a follow up video to this episode?
finally an update on the bean plant
Can of dirt... It's a can, with dirt in it
did it grow peppers?

@@AtomicShrimp gotcha. Hope they were at least a bit hot.
@Rybo Stain it took that long for my first ones to pop up. Others will likely follow

Has there been an update on the chili plant? Can't seem to find any
What a cutie (puppy ). You too I’m sure!
has this turned out? or did it unfortunately mold/get tipped or the like?
It grew into a fairly decent little plant, but produced only I think one little fruit
@@AtomicShrimp Ah, update!
What type of chilli's were these? We had this can but have since repotted them
Any idea what chillies these are? We have 5 1foot tall plants from the can but no idea what they are!
Not sure - they seemed just like very standard red chillies to me - hot, but not ferocious
Atomic Shrimp thank you :)
could have done a live stream until they were fully grown. continue while you cook something with them. that's excitement...(i don't get out much)
Chile.

Do they need a bigger pot to fully grow??
Yes, many cultivars can grow a meter tall and a meter wide - or more - when happy. Plants generally need as much on top as underground
@@Earthstar_Review Thanks for the help 👍
Did this ever grow?
Yes - not sure if I ever posted an update - it grew one plant that yielded two very standard red chillies
Thanks for getting back to me. £2.50 is pricier than Sainsbury's, but at least it went to charity.
@@AtomicShrimp How did the bean grow?
Did it never grow?
king
Mine never grew :(
