Ive got big hopes for Tepin as they are going for it at the mo, but the habeneros (spelling?) and scotch bonnets are goning damn slow for some reason. Hoping they will buck up in a bit.
I usually use Thompson and Morgan and they are (a bit) better than this. They also deliver to Turkey for no additional charge!

I'll take some photos
Yay for photos
It's a wierd one this year and no mistake. First chillis just stuck their heads up, glut of tomato plants, but underdeveloped, Peas better than average, Runner beans ok. Broad on strike, Haricot- like a rainforest. Cucumbers slow, melons on strike, pumpkins on go slow, Garlic fair to middling, onions and leeks making good progress. All the cissie flowers going mad.
I contrasted this with the old devil in Devon, He's already got tomatoes and cucumbers. Sod these changing climate patterns, it's 15° and raining, and I'm only 90 kms from Spain.

mustard habanero, peach habanero, chocolate habanero, little elf, hot cherry, jalapenos, Bolivian Rainbow, nosegay, errrrrr can't remember the otherswill have to look when I get home
these sound really cool, I haven't heard of some of these varieties. I'm picking up some small chile plants this weekend, it's still freezing here at night so it's not quite safe yet. I love growing peppers and chiles.

My seedlings are still just that - two-leaved miniatures, unchanged from last time I posted 
What am I doing wrong?

Oh, definitely watering sparingly
They probably haven't been getting enough light, and certainly not enough heat in this shit weather, so I have moved them to the prime spot on the kitchen windowsill now that my tomatoes seem to be entering adolescence.
With one bloody chilli coming up and a 70km round trip to the specialist seed place, I decided to do a soil test by buying two of those big green jobs full of seeds.
They say dogs don't eat chillis. But then 'they' say dogs don't eat cucumber, drink hot Irish coffee, or smoke weed.
Never stopped my little f*cker.
If even the big green ones do owt, I shall have to start adding Molybdenum or Technetium to the soil, in the hope of discovering the missing trace elephant.

I've seen lots of dogs eat chilis, but I don't want to live with the horrific aftermath.

today i potted on a few chilli plants, they're still quite small but the roots were well developed. They're all in a greenhouse, some in a bed and some in large pots and i've grown cayenne, yellow banana and an unknown one.

They lure you in with the promise of flavour and heat and then they make you go blind as a punishment
Life's not fair
Doggy, doggy
chillis go in the mouth, not in the eyes.

Interesting. I get those things sometime, like a bit of my vision has gone kinked or really bright and I can't look straight ahead. It's not chillis for me tho. Tiredness and too much coffee are the main suspects in my caselongdog said:I *heart* teh chillis but unless I have an hour sleep after eating chilli I go blind. Like a migraine but without the headache.

Mine is about 60 cm tall with many branches and leaves, it's just started flowering.
All I've done is water it. Can anyone tell me, is there anything else I need to do?
