It's chilli time

This year, due to the bad summer we all had, I have started my chillies and peppers off early.

I've sown 4 seeds of each of the peppers into coir pellets and popped them into the heated propagator.

Even though this sounds like a lot of plants, I'm only growing on one of each plant to see which does best and also which ones I like to eat and store for powders etc..
