Oooh, I can *just* see the heads of two Bird's Eye chillis popping through the soil. They were only sown on the 8th (and were bought in 2009), so not bad.
Also one sweet pepper (from a supermarket pepper) is just peeping through.
I too love airing cupboards!Singleton Allotments Society

checked the heated propogator today and the chilli seedlings are about 1inch tall, should i repot hem and if so should they be kept in the propogator or would the kitchen window sill do??? kitchen temp is normally around 18 degreesMay the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

the important thing for seedlings once they've germinated is to give them light....they'll be ok in whatever they're in for a bit till more roots form! Keep them in the propLast edited by danmon_81; 14-01-2011, 10:16 AM.Impossible is not a fact its an opinion...
Impossible is not a decleration its a dare...

I've now also got a couple of orange habs and the first gelbe kirschen popping up.
I noticed though, that it's the ones in the middle of the propagator which are popping up first and, sure enough, when I checked, all the heat seems to be in the middle
I'll need to chop my module tray down the middle and swap them around a bit.Caro

thanks again for all the help!!!May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
