Hi,
Just arrived from Bendigo in Australia. I'm a chili novice. Just been buying some seeds, so just waiting until the right time of year and I'll start growing them and then to learn about eating them too.

and Black Prince.
I'm eagerly waiting for Spring so that I can start to propagate them.
Actually I'm about 20kms east of Bendigo, which puts me closer to Melbourne and I assume you're about 15kms north of Melb. so I'd estimate that I'm more like 115kms from you. Bendigo is 150kms from Melbourne (up the Calder).
Yes, we do get a few frosts, maybe two or three bad ones per winter. I'd only start propagating in spring and I'd start them off and keep them indoors until they're fairly well established, does that sound like the right thing to do?
