Obstacles:
The first problem i anticipate is from the Naga's as the seeds where taken from only partially ripened pods and i'm not certain the seeds where mature enough. This may or may not be a problem however i have successfully germinated seed's from these (Naga type) pods when not fully ripened in the past.
The second problem will be any prolonged cold spell during the winter or rare snow cover. If t his happens i will monitor plants and maybe bring them into the house if needed.
My unidentified Naga seeds where sourced from these 2 pods:

Predictions:
I'm expecting my first seeds to germinate in around 14-18 days.**
I think it will be a challenge to overwinter immature plants but i believe it possible.
** In the past i have managed to get Naga seeds fresh from the pods to germinate in as little as 13 days.
Today i have started an experiment.
- I have planted 3 Dorset Naga seeds in one pot and in another i have panted 3 Naga seeds. The first part of my experiment is to see which germinates the quickest.
- The second part of my experiment is to allow the strongest looking seedling in each pot to grow and to attempt to overwinter the plants.
