Would you adam and eve it two years running I have had probs germinating my pepper seed, and ended up with some germinated too late to ripen up (in the two previous years).  So I thought I would try theairing cupboard with the hot water tank as I have read some do and now they have all germinated so have more pepper plants than intended :shock: not really complaining will see how they go and how they fruit.

The one plant in, year one, that did germinate, fruited beautifully in the warm conservatory.  But I can't put up with all the white fly in the house from them.

The ones too late to ripen from last year though......in the nick of time before I chucked them out,  I read if you keep them for next year they grow again ...........so nice and early and strong plants ready for this years fruiting.

if you grow some marigolds alongside them it might ward off the w/fly

14 out of 18 of mine have germinated and they all will go into the greenhouse border because I like mine red, so I need more plants to allow them to mature, which will mean fewer fruits.

yellow sticky traps for the white fly  :twisted:

Last year i didn't start my peppers 'til about april and i still had time for masses of ripe fruit  :?

Yeah I like mine anything but green.  I might try the sticky paper.  Unfortunately although I grow loads of marigolds outside alonside my plants I can't stand the smell of them ..........smells like cats pee to me, so don't want them indoors.

I don't have an airing cupboard but I have put my chilli seeds next to my log burner to try and germinate them.  :?
I had a sweet pepper plant on my living room window sill last year and took the last pepper off it at the end of December - just in time to put this year's seeds on it.
