Chilli seed sowing time

[northernhord]

well it's time for me to totally fail at growing things again I guess. I'll keep you all posted on the vegetable genocide unfolding in my flat as the months progress

You can do it, you can stop the Genocide, water is the key Miss pie

I think Dub says things to them. And plays shit music at them when I'm in the bath.

I can believe that

Mine's all my own fault though

My strawberry pots are doing well though

^ Chilli plants dont like Steve Albini's music, they like the Beatles apparently

I've never had any luck growing chillies. The first couple of times they got eaten by these tiny white grubs, and last year I think we left it too late. Gonna be on the ball this year

Planted mine yesterday! (In total about 60!)

Thai
Scotch Bonnet
Rainbow (cheers NH!)

Played them some Incredible String Band just to get them started. (seemed to work for my parsley which popped up yesterday)

I'm going to have a go at this, I grew horseradish last year in a pot which was great.

If you gonna grow em indoors all year round you can use the seeds from any fresh chilli you buy from the supermarket other than that any garden centre or ebay, if you dont want to end up cancer of the colon dont buy Dorset Narga seeds

Can you grow peppers also ?
I'm gonna plant some chilis just now

Edit to add:

also, do you need to keep the chilis in direct sunlight?
I was gonna put mine at the kitchen window, where it's light enough but the sun hits the other side of the house.
