Big Jim Competition

[pigletwillie]

I have been meaning to do mine for the last 10 days Alice. They will go into pots tommorow and live in the kitchen until they germinate.

Checked my pots today and all six of my seedlings are about are about 1" high. So relieved cos I thought I had lost 2 when when the pot got knocked on to the floor and the compost went everywhere, lovely surprise to find the accident prone pot has survived.

Good luck with that Piglet. Hope you come second equal in the competition
PS the banana shallots have germinated. Much easier than those big jims !

[pigletwillie]

Good stuff Alice, a few peoples are up and running, mine will be pricked out next week.

As for joint second, more like last.

How's everbody getting on with the Big Jim Chillies. Mine are pathetically slow ! I set 7 seeds to sprout on Jan 1st. To date 3 haven't sprouted and the 4 in pots are pathetic. This is the best one !

Some chillies and peppers Alice are notoriously slow to germinate. Some such as Tepin can take up to 8 weeks to decide that they want to grow.

That looks find to me, good strong leaves. Not planted mine yet so you're well ahead of me anyway.

[Alice]

Thanks for the reassurance. I just think they should have chillies on by now ! How am I going to get into the Guinness book of records with an effort like that !

Many thanks for the seeds Alison. Will start our pepper in the heated prop soon.

[smallblueplanet]

It's what you do to a thread to make it 'stick' to the top of the forum.

WooHoo! Just joined the competition. Can't believe i didn't hear about this one - i love chillies!

I have my own Chilli Challenge every year with a group of friends, this year we're growing Hungarian Hot Wax (can't have anything too hot as the judges actually have to taste the chillies for one of the categories!), we seem to have more entried every year - i think this year we sent out seed to over 30 people . I've passed the details on to my friend the organiser to get more people involved. How exciting!
