    They take time. I may have started ours before you did. I also talk to them nicely. :) :thumbsup:

        Sowed my chillies on the 5th of Feb. Just noticed little flower buds on the Tam Jalapenos :blue thumb: Potted up to 125mm pots yesterday, I'll pot up to the final 25cm pots in late April.

          I have some seeds in the sprouter. Reckon I should abandon them, or is there still some time to get them into pots and hope for some fruit this year?

          Give them a few days to settle down and for a few more flowers to form and then you can give them a light feed. Tomato feed is good enough for chillies. :blue thumb:

            There's still some time but they will just be later and may not fruit until late summer. I thought you were already having problems with space. If so, why are you bothering with more? :scratch:

            I'm somewhat disappointed by the weather this year so far. Even if by the figures, there isn't that much difference between 2018..

            upload_2019-4-2_10-45-5.png

            .. and 2019...

            upload_2019-4-2_10-45-22.png

            Maybe last year, since I didn't have any homegrown chilis, I was less concerned.

              @shiney the seeds germinated but they are stalled at the first two little leaves. I've got them near a window so hopefully they'll rally some strength. Maybe they are keeping a low profile until they get the lay of the "new" country :)

                @CanadianLori they often seem to stop at the two leaf stage for a couple of weeks then get to the four or six leaf stage fairly quickly, slow down a bit and then take off. Light and warmth is what they like, but not too hot. 22C - 24C is fine. :blue thumb:

                Thank you @shiney. I've got them the kitchen window and it's usually around 72f in that area.
