I'm going to try too - Minnesota Midget-they will be outside I think as the only other option is an unventialted conservatory......

[manicscousers]

it was in a poly, mind you, the best one I've ever grown was in a cold frame, some b*gger nicked it just before I picked it  ;D

I'm quite tempted to try Minnesota Midget as well Greenscrump.

I've got some seeds from Real Seeds, more than I need  - do you have any chillis to swap :)

Ogen's a good one to try. I'll be growing that next year along with... oo-er! I seem to have eleven different types of melon, three types of watermelon and one Kiwano (jelly melon, aka African horned cucumber).
