Last weekend I put my first chilli seeds into a damp kitchen towel and plastic bag and placed them in the airing cupboard in order to get them to germinate.
This it basically the start of my growing season and a way to take my mind off the weather here in Northern Ireland.
Today all eleven (I meant to do 12, doh!) seeds had tiny roots, so they were gently put into coir start plugs and placed in a unheated propagator on the south facing kitchen windowsill.
Being a little concerned about the night time temperature that the seeds will get on the windowsill I bit the bullet and ordered a Garland triple top windowsill heated propagator. I am not sure what the missus will say when she sees it but I find it is often easier to get forgiveness than permission.
