Of the two types I sowed on 15 Feb, Chilli Trifetti (saved seed) are up and nice and sturdy but no sign yet of 'Pretty in Purple' which a kind member here sent to me. Perhaps these take longer to germinate? Conditions are identical.

Sowed my chillies and peppers yesterday, no point in doing them sooner as only have a cold greenhouse to grow them on in! ;D

If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

Thought I'd give you a quick update. Have given away a lot of spare plants to family and friends and I'm now done to my 'keepers'.
All still in the propogator in the greenhouse, with Apache, Black Hungarian and Brazilian Starfish pushing at the lid on the double-height Vitopod. May have to take off and leave off the lid within the next week or two.
Prop is turned down to 15C just to keep the chill off at night.
A few flower buds appearing on the Black Hungarian, Super Chilli, Hot Wax and Cherry Bomb.

I found an old stash of 30+ varieties, i've sown 24 of them today.
Some packets only had one seed in and they are a couple of years old,
so hopefully they'll all come up.
I won't list them all though.

Peruvean Purple, Orange Habanero and Twilight all growing nicely now. Planted about 3 weeks ago. I planted the second round of seeds last weekend and no signs yet, but I think it was about 8/9 days for the last lot to start showing.
We're gonna have more Chilli's than we know what to do with this year lol

Planted 5 each of 7 types on Friday - I always go overboard! I also have a Dorset Naga overwintered from last year which looks to be sprouting nicely now too. Will prob also sow another Naga too - just to keep it company!

My first chillis are setting :D
Got 5 or 6 on my overwintered Habanero Orange, and one on my Cherry Bomb so far. I can see I'm not going to have to buy chillis from around May... excellent!

Saddad - I did "Carribean blend" last year and have sown another 10 this year (5 up so far). They are a mix of small hot red ones, big long ox-horn peppers (not hot) and medium sized yellow ones if last years 6 plants are anything to go by.
This year I've also set a few of the freebie gardeners world catalogue ones - Cayenne.
Adrian - did you ever get your electric bill !? :o ;D
