Late Again

[cardiffsteve]

Yet again I am late getting started
Am I too late to start from seed tomatoes and chillies?

In b+q they have small pots of chilli and tomatoes for 98pence each or 6 for £5.
They were very small pots about inch in diameter. And they did look a bit forlorn.

I don't think so. I didn't do mine last year until about this time and I got quite a few tomatoes by the end of the season. I have started my toms, peppers and aubergines but I am planning on sowing a few more later. What's the worst that can happen.

[Sarico]

i not a expert but i can tell you that is not too later for you to start... i put some a few weeks ago but i'm still seeding now.... i think you will have no problem...

[cardiffsteve]

Feel guilty coz a lovely grape sent me chilli seeds but I haven't got round to sowing them yet

[chefgage]

I shouldn't worry too much, I didn't sow my tomatoes till nearly may and still got a decent crop

Only sowed my chilli and tomato seeds last Saturday so there's still plenty of time

[veggiechicken]

Instead of chatting, get sowing! And while you're about it, sow some for me because I've only sown a few experimental ones so far.

You do need to get chillies underway pretty sharpish as they benefit from a long season but you will still be fine. As for toms, I've only sown half a dozen, the rest will be done in about a week or so, I find if you do them any earlier you end up with huge plants with nowhere to put them as it's too early to plant out until mid May.

hello there,no you are not to late,just get em in,might be best to start the chillies in a warm place to give them a quicker start,at the worst the chillie's will be a bit later,then so might the sunshine lol,the mild winter has left a lot of us chomping at the bit,then cold again,so go for it lad

[cardiffsteve]

I'll get myself together this weekend, promise.

[Potstubsdustbins]

Steve I have some tom's in the varieties I have grown before so know I can cheat a little. The new (to me) varieties won't be going in till next weekend.

As others have said get you chillies in this weekend if you can.
