   Ok i'm trying again this year to grow chillis from seed........are they like parsnips in that you need fresh seed each year or can i use last years seed. Didn't do very well last year only some success.

Yes they should be alright to sow again...chilli seeds should store ok for few years.. ;) But only if you have stored them away from extreme temperatures..read; not in greenhouse

I have just planted some of last years seeds, and a couple have germinated. What have you to loose?, just stick em in! :)
