Sowed Peppers, Chillis, Aubergines and Tomatoes in heated propagators at the weekend. Greenhouse is still too cold so they're indoors at the moment.

I started some Scotch Bonnets and Habaneros of at the end of November, and then had sown the rest in batches with the last batch been sown mid-January. All in a heated Vitopod in th unheated greenhouse. Going brilliantly so far.

Here are some pics I took at the end of January, but they have all grown well since then.

Your chillies are looking great Adrian!

Mine have just been sown - growing Hot Cayenne, Green Outdoor & a Thai variety :)

Lovely strong plants there. I have started sowing - about 10 varieties so far. Still have a few more to get done so this half term, you know where I will be. ;D

I must admit I'm surprised how well they are doing. So many people seem to start them of early but under Flouro lights indoors, but I think I'm showing that a greenhouse (even through winter) will provide enough light if you can give them heat from a propagater.

I have the following varieties growing:

Apache
Black Hungarian
Brazilian Starfish
Bulgarian Carrot
Cherry Bomb
Chinese Five Color
Habanero Orange
Hot Lemon
Hungarian Hot Wax
Jalapeno Early
Joe's Long Cayenne
Numex Twilight
Scotch Bonnet Red
Super Chilli

Let me know what varieties you have/are going to sow.

Here's a piccy of last years Orange Habanero that I'm overwintering.

saddad · « **Reply #14 on:** February 18, 2009, 18:10:16 »

Not yet... trying to convince OH to take a break from decorating the front bedroom tomorrow so we can get a big sowing done... :)

dtw · « **Reply #15 on:** March 02, 2009, 08:37:49 »

I potted up my first batch yesterday (33 plants) and sowed the 2nd batch too (another 15 or so varieties).

Levi · « **Reply #16 on:** March 02, 2009, 22:39:16 »

Excuse my potential ignorance, but is there another kind of Scotch Bonnet? I have only seen the Jamaican one, which of course comes as red, gold and green. :-\ I am trying (again) to grow this as it is such a pretty little bush. Would like try others, if available.
