They are all chillies, I've got more to go in as soon as these have all germinated.
(I've only got one heated propagator).

The labels are made from the sides of milk bottles, hence the differing widths. ;D

I think you have to check them everyday, and as soon as their little heads pop up place them on the windowsill, or they might become *leggy*

If you do get leggy ones, they can be planted deeper (up to the 1st pair of leaves),
as extra roots will emanate from the stem.

I believe there's a technical name for it, but can't remember.
Tomatoes also do it.

I guess then the best way to give it a go on the plot will be to get them in early when frost has gone and give them as long a season as possible. Grow them in a sunny aspect same as tomatoes..
