First time grower. UK

Thought id try and keep a glog.
 
Im a noob to growing anything and im just juming in the deep end.
 
I started a few plant back in Oct2013 which are doing well.
 
Scotch bonnet
jalapeno
serrano
choch Hab
Orange Hab
Trin Scorpion
Choc Ghost
 
All of the above in red i bought from the bay and i hope turn out to be what they are ment to be.
The other 3 i got from pods and grew from seeds.
 
Im going to keep this glog on some seeds i purchased from   http://www.chileseeds.co.uk/hot_chili_pepper_seed.htm
 
 
They have a massive collection of seeds and to look through.
 
 
 
I finally settled on ....
 
lemon habanero                                                                    
seven pod/seven pot   (these were free)
Sweet Choc
purple Serrano
Jays peach scorpion
Jays Red scorpion
Newmax Suave red
Caroliona Reaper
Choc Cherry
Numex Baily Piquin       (also for free)
 
and lastly purchased these from a garden centre
Yellow Hotwax
Ring o'fire
 
I put a few seeds of each variaty into soak for 24 hours on fri and have since taken them out and now letting them warm up in a heated
propogator.
 
Cant wait to see which one wakes first.
 
I will try to update on my progress once a week.

Always fun to follow other members with roughly the same climate conditions!
Edit: although quite a bit south of Denmark i see now :rolleyes:
 
It does look like you are having better weather there at the moment. 
 
So its been 8 days since my first log.

My first lot of seeds i started back in Oct i germinated using the ziplock bag method and i got verygood results.
This time however i decided to try the 24hr soaking method then moving the seeds to little sealed food boxes with a damp cloth and kept them warm in a heated propogator.

This time though i have had less success. Alot of the cloth had dried even though there was lots of condensation within the plastic boxes.

The seeds that did germinate are.

1sweet chocolate
2purple serrano (one looks a little worse for wear)
2 choc cherry's
2 numex baily piquin
And 2 orange habs.

If nothing else shows sign of life I will start over.
