No sign as yet… Rooster spur—did well outdoors in pots last year, nice to look at, dry very well. “Hot yellow” and “hot”—some seeds from last year I saved in envelopes, sp. anuum I think. Two lots of other random packet seeds, one chinensis one F1 annuum. No big-uns, last year’s poblanos were v. big plants and only just had time to fruit.

[update: 2020-02-20] looks like better germination of the ones I saved than I expected, so I shall have to thin. Read this on potting on too, will be giving it a go:

Set chilli plants deep in their pots, burying the stems up to the first leaves. Like tomato plants they will generate new roots on the buried stem, bring better stability and nutrient uptake. Just make sure the lowest leaves are not sitting on the compost surface.
