Chillies Ahoy / Re: Pepper re-do

Thank you JanG, that's a good idea, I suppose there is no harm in experimenting :)

Last year I sowed tomatoes in May and got a crop. Not a great one, but something.

Sorry to read that some of your little peppers succumbed, too. Strugging somewhat with the peat-free composts...

I think habaneros are slow growing so I’d be doubtful you’d get any fruit this year.
It might be worth trying with a view to overwintering the smallish plants for earlier production next season?
I’ve had one or two little pepper plants fade away too this year without quite knowing why.

For reasons unbeknown to me, my little habaneros are dying. I'll have to re-sow them but is it now too late?

Following a good week of germination a weekend of pricking out ahead, unless the weather turns too cold. Only cold greenhouses to bring them on in and it looks dodgy.... probably just running up and down to the greenhouse in the mornings and evenings to stop them getting too leggy!

Will you do a few tom spares for the Open Day?
We may have some spare chillis  :wave:

Yes I’ve done some spare toms, not quite as many as last year though as I’m not going to be around for the 28th May plant sale as it clashes with Bearded Theory so we’re away.
A few more of my peppers have shown themselves but there are still much  slower than usual despite being in a thermostatically controlled propagator…🙄

I’ve had great germination of my tomatoes including some new HSL ones, but my chillies and peppers have been pretty slow and patchy after three weeks in my Vitopod propagator with some FTG so far….that’s slower than usual. Might risk a resow or buy a few baby plants if I have to……

Good luck with the surgery. Hope Physio goes well.  Season starting.  Seeds coming up in the propagator.  soon everywidnowsill will be full of trays.  Your arms should be healed well up for the early summer stint. Hope you get help with the watering if you are porting.  XXX

Still peering hopefully into the heated propagator....
Shouldn't need much, still able to take OH coffee and toast in the mornings, from day one...  :wave:
