Nicely coming on, JonG if your seeds are in seedling pots the above pic shows the ideal size  for you to pot on into 3" pots.

Garp i find it fascinating that as i get older growing stuff becomes more enjoyable, esp from seed and cuttings, its like one is creating something, and no i have no interest at the moment in feeding Daisies

Great picture there Garp and I

Chilli Plug plants should be available in march, thats how i got my Dorset Naga's last year, i bought three, two of which didnt do well because the holes in the pots were too smalland didn't drain, they are currently all cut back to the stem in a cabin in the garden, hopefully come march they will liven up, easier to grow than from seed imo.

Update, all three have gone to chilli heaven i will try to overwinter again this year.

I agree, Micky, but I also think you have to have a naturally inquisitive mind (or maybe that inquisitiveness comes more with age). As in my cooking, I like to try to create something from scratch using the most basic building blocks. That is why I don't like using commercial pastes/powders in my BIR (unless I have previously managed to replicate said paste/powder from scratch).

Maybe I should wait a bit before I plant mine as I can see them getting to a point where they should move outside, but maybe the frosts will still be around.

I'm no expert, Jon, but I'd be getting them started asap, to give you more chance of them producing fruit.

As Garp say's get them underway to get the fruit, i gave in and just ordered a heat mat on Ebay for just over
