Chilli seeds again

Last year's Chilli plants were a disaster. I had too many and they were too big, although I managed to keep the green fly off them. They got too big for the windowsill in the kitchen so they were put outside where they effectively stopped growing due to the cold temperature.

This year I am:

• Going to germinate some seeds in plastic bags in the airing cupboard again (this seems very effective).
• Use my heated propagator (effective also).
• Give away more chilli plants, or just cull the weaker ones.
• Top the plants when they get to about 18 inches tall (3-4 foot high chilli plants are impractical).

I have just put Jalapeno, Bird's Eye chilli and Tomato seeds on damp paper towels, into plastic bags and into the airing cupboard (hot press). So in a few days they will hopefully have germinated and they can go into the heated propagator.
