Chillies have germinated

Well just about all of the chillies and peppers have germinated, still waiting on a couple to spring into life, the Birds Eye, Goats Ear, Habanaro, and Praire Fire hot chillies are still showing no sign of life as yet. The only sweet pepper that hasn't germinated so far has been the Ingrid.

They have been re-potted into small 6cm plastic pots by just putting a little compost in the bottom of the pot, dropping the coir plug in and packing around the coir plug with some more compost. I'm trying out Indoor Plant Compost this year while they are in the small pots.

The ones that have started have been moved to the light box so they don't start getting leggy.

The chillies and peppers are all being fed and watered via the capillary matting system using Chilli Focus at 5ml per litre. So this year they should all get off to a great start.
