Im finally off and running for this years growing season (here in the UK) and put my seeds in the propagator yesterday. After swamping the house and my fiancés art studio with overwintered plants, I promised her I would go easy this year and have limited myself to only 35 or new varieties 
My 'themes' for this year are wild species (for photos for the chileman site), tasty peppers for my tummy (Poblano, Guajillo, Cheyenne, Cayenne etc) and beautiful flowers/pods (mainly pubescens + thai orange,Aji Omnicolor, spectral etc):

I'll be starting a jornal on the chileman site shortly to document my sucess of otherwise. From what Ive read germinating/growing on some of the wild varieties in particular make growing Annuums look like a walk in the park!
Has anyone got on tips on growing wild species?
