[Ohnidog]

Good stuff! Don't forget to let me know how you get on with them

[Taf]

Looking forward to getting some seeds planted now.

any chance of some spare seeds ? i love growing chilis , even if we dont realy get enough sun , you can still get good results even on a window sill in a pot. also a little guano is great to give them a boost or some blood and bone that you have left over from your hops.

[Ohnidog]

No worries hopapotamus, pm me your address and I'll stick some in an envelope for you.

They'll need to be kept at a constant 20°C or slightly above in order to germinate so I recommend starting them off in a propagator. Try and do this as early as possible in order to get them fruiting during June/July/August when we have the most sun.

To check their viability, I wrapped some of the seeds in wet tissues and put them in the hotpress about a week ago. So far the Costeño Amarillo and the Guajillo have germinated but still waiting  for signs of life from the Ancho Poblano and the Pasilla de Oaxaca. The Ancho's should germinate eventually but I'm not sure about the Pasilla de Oaxaca since they're smoked and it depends on how hot a smoking they got. I'll throw in some Cascabel as well but I haven't checked their viability yet.

I've carved the seeds into 4 lots.
Me, Taf, Hopa and a spare. I can take care of these if that suits.

[Ohnidog]

Oh right, didn't realise hopapotamus was down your neck of the woods John

[Taf]
