Good effort for posting a video

I wonder if that would work for Spouses?

I guess if they sunk you could always leave them there!!  ;D ;D ;D

Mine floats.....She has her own water wings ;D Bless er

This used to be used as a way of checking for witches, if they managed to stay afloat they were witches and executed but if they sunk and drowned they weren't

Same result either way

Hi Martin,

What is this myth about drying out seeds in the airing cupboard? Just put them in some paper towel in a bowl and put them on the window ledge.

I don't even bother drying mine out, I just remove them sometimes from the chilli and pop them straight into the compost

Hi 976bar

Is this method of cutting chillis open and planting a certainty, i'm up for cutting one of my finger chillis open but as it takes 2-3 weeks to appear I'll be gutted if nothing happpens

While nothing is a certainty in this game, I do it all the time with all sorts of seeds gifted from produce I've bought, and can confirm that it does work. And on the occasions when it doesn't, it hasn't cost you anything other than around a week of time waiting to see if they sprout. (I'd recommend planting 3 seeds per pot to give yourself the best chance. You can always thin out if they all sprout.)

Nature is a wonderful thing. In 2010, for instance, I chucked some rotting supermarket tomatoes into my compost bin, and in 2011 worked the compost into my raised beds. A few weeks later what I thought were strange-looking weeds started appearing everywhere, and as it transpired their distinct tomato plant appearance was entirely due to the fact that they were, in fact, tomato plants, which had sprouted from those rotting supermarket tomatoes. I let a handful of them do their own thing, and they turned out really well.

Previously I'd gone to all the trouble of scooping tomato seeds out of the flesh, painstakingly separating them and placing them carefully on blotting paper to dry out.

Now I don't bother - just scoop a few out with a teaspoon and whack them in some compost and let them get on with it.

Give it a go!

Cheers

Gary

Ive split open a finger chilli and deseeded it ready for sowing tomorrow

Whilst on the subject of growing, coriander is supposed to be easy but i seem to struggle keeping the pre-bought growing stuff alive. It either goes dark green on the edges or goes a bit dry and brown so obviously under or overwatering

Anybody any thoughts on that one

That emoti icon is bloody brilliant ;D

Hehe cheers CH, took inspiration from you guys down in fleet, also took a bit of effort getting it to work!!

Looking forward to getting some chilli seeds planted again soon, does anybody know why it is when you have a plant full of flower heads ready to turn to chillis, sometimes  the heads drop off? Its happened to me both last two years and its gutting!

That tandoori oven does to us curry lovers, what a brand new 50" 3d led tv does to the rest of the male population. I'm not envious one little bit!
Have fun and keep showing us the results
