Big Jim Competition

[Alice]

So It's a bit like mine Piglet, just some garden pics I stuck on at the time and never got back to doing anything with it. Bet yours gets finished before mine and I look forward to seeing it. Second thoughts, maybe I will get back to mine as I need to add my raised beds and kitchen garden project. I think that's what people are more interested in.

My little jims are now slowly getting a bit bigger. Got a couple of pics. In one pic is all five plants at varying sizes and the other is my glamorous assistant holding the best one.

5 more Baby Jims

I have got another 5 Jims sprouting. Germinated them this time last week and they are now starting to push through the compost in the modules I put them in.
So chuffed. I hope they dry well because I plan on stringing any fruits up and drying them to preserve them.

How's everybody else getting on. As I said I've got one decent plant (looking good now) from 7 seeds and an early sowing. I've got 6 seeds left to plant by the end of the month. My other chillies and peppers planted early are doing great. Peppers planted in December are coming into flower.

[Mrs Dobby]

Have 3 plants now, 2 of which are just sprouting their second set of leaves! I'll try and get a piccy or two tomorrow and post em in here!

Next?

Doesn't matter how I try, still no sign of my Big Jim's. Must be bottom of the list!

[bramble]

I sowed four seed and the four germinated. They were a bit straggly at first but beginning to look like a pepper plant now.

[Alice]

Germination has been poor Shirlthegirl. And even when they do germinate they're not just exactly bursting with vigour. I think it must be the seeds. Can't see any other explanation. But hope yours might come yet.

[pigletwillie]

I chucked the lot in at once and now have 11 plants which are just getting to the second leaf stage and will be potted on soon. No problems at all with the seed Alice, they all germinated.
