Nope, sorry never heard of them before. Let us know how it goes though, I am intrigued!

I've had 50% success rate with chillies, compost in airing cupboard, now out on windowsill propagator.

Will try some more a different variety, plenty of time yet?

Trying my luck this year with chillies, but after reading the different posts, it seems I'm starting on the wrong foot :'(

I didn't soak the seeds beforehand and placed them directly on the windowsill in glass jars filled with potting compost and sealed with lids. No heat - North west facing wall. It's been a week only so far.

Are the seeds going to germinate?

[Dorothy rouse]

I didn't soak my seeds, just popped them in compost in one of those window sill propagators, put in airing cupboard till they germinated.don't know how they'll do, once I put them in the warmth, they appeared within a few days.

Finally seeing a sign of life from the chillies sown within the disks!

Ha omg my little girl just come down with a tray of chillies I had sown and forgot about the compost is very very dry and I'd forgot about them as there in my bedroom window as I've been sleeping down stairs (easier with my op and cast) and there ok they need a good water, pricking out and repotting but here they are!!

Note: I must not have touched these in about a month how there alive I will never know!!

Plant watcher, cast decorator lol list is endless can't believe there still alive there sitting in some water now some have true leave too.

She's been off with a ear infection and has been trying her best to look after me... But the best bit is she came down as if she had found treasure

Ahhh, bless her, what a little star, luv her. X

You could buy her a little flowering plant or something, for her efforts, how old is she?

I read somewhere that, in a chillis natural environment they can regularly go without water for extended periods of time, so they can take a bit of abuse.

Hi,

Started on the 2nd January getting a bit big, praying for warmer weather so they can go outside. I took advice from here and stopped them at about 8 inches and they are side shooting nicely. First attempt so all will probably fall in a heap yet !
