what a load of balls!!:lol:

i'm using jiffy's this year & now have some nice 'n healthy plants developing.used heated props & as long as you keep your eye on them they should be ok.just don't overwater.germination has been between 5 days & 4 weeks depending on the variety.

to add to this, last year i pre-soaked a load of seeds, colour-coded them etc etc, & not one germinated! a colossal waste of time. also, when you come to pot-on your seedlings, make sure you handle them gently by the cotyledons (seedling leaves) & never by the stems, as that will inevitably kill...

i've grown seeds that were a few years old, also some from frozen/defrosted, which all turned out ok.so long as they're not rotten, they should be fine.

it's generally known to sow seeds at least 1/2" deep so that the seedling can jettison the seed pod.if the seedling emerges with the pod over the cotyledons it's a good idea to let it throw off the pod on it's own, as fiddling with tweezers etc can & usually will, damage the seedling/tear one or...

hi from scotland, woody! feel the burn, increase, & enjoy!! you'll soon get used to it if you increase it bit by bit.the main thing is that you enjoy every second!

i do this regularly. other night the wife bought some cheapo snack...potato triangles, for a night in with the girls-they tasted c**p, until i added some superhot chilli powder, a little salt, & madras curry powder. dunno what the girlies thought of them, but there was plenty left for me!!!!yum...

that was a great way to END my day!!!

hello from Scotland! i grew two aji limon plants last year from frozen & defrosted seeds.this year i'm trying peppadews 'cos the d*ck who promised me some defaulted. they haven't popped up yet, but it's early days....

good to see you Ollie!

i bet they'll taste great whatever the shape.nothing better than home-grown toms......except chillies naturally!

i usually remove the netting as i sow 2 or 3 seeds in each pellet.as each then contains 2-3 good seedlings, i really need to cut the membrane to separate the seedlings to pot on anyway.

lucky you guys! i'm in the UK & i'm still waiting!!!! oh well..............................

looks a great menu Dave, wish they had recipes on there too. did you watch the f word on channel 4? the indian restaurant ( deservedly) won v. the pretentious English rest.good to see some decent cuisine get the trophy!

yep. i thought last night, when munching a scotch bonnet whilst cooking a curry, that ages ago, i would've been sweating profusely, but the heat didn't bother me too much....must be getting used to the heat, but the flavour, thank God, never wanes. i regularly sprinkle bhut jolokia powder on...

here, it's "youse all".

i've successfully grown chilli plants from frozen & defrosted seeds so it is possible...

ich bin schottlander!!! & that's about the extent of my German alas, but a big "wilkommen" from me too. great home-made gh there, your DIY skills are better than mine.

i couldn't imagine a week without at least one good curry dish! we occasionally go to a local restaurant, but they're a bit haphazard with their menus etc, so the best Indian meals we eat are "chez nous", i.e. at home.i cook a mean curry if i say so myself & love experimenting with ingredients &...

i got that book too, from amazon.....for the grand price of...one penny! flamin' postage was 2.75!! great book too...
