First little plant for next year. I started a bit early this year with hot chillies. Placed the jiffy pellets on the radiator it took two weeks for this little plant.

It is very early and 2 weeks is a long time to wait for these little seedlings. Glad they are coming along. Some nice pepper varieties there. I have never started this early. Something else to learn perhaps. Your chilis are always such nice plants and early harvest.

Yeah I know it's early, normally sprout the seeds on a damp cloth but I'm not to sure why I changed the method. It's only few plants the next seed sowing will be late january unless feel the need to do it early. I don't mind they get leggy will plant them deeper they will make more root system like tomato plants do.1 Photo

Not wanting to question your plans, Clumsy, but the reason you can plant tomatoes deeper if they have got leggy is that they sprout roots higher up very easily. Do peppers do that? I really shouldn't question you because you are much more experienced with early peppers. Whichever, they will benefit from the best light you can give them. And from tomorrow on the days will get longer again. I don't know what it is about dark days. Today we had 12C, but I was still cold with a warm jumper and a jacket. In brighter weather, I would have ditched the jacket. Something about the dark that causes that. Plants don't like it very much either. At least the worst is over now.
Thrive little pepper plants.Hope you will harvest very early - in July perhaps? I still have fresh Alberto Locoto and Trepadeira Werners for the kitchen now, then it will be peppers from the freezer and last the dried ones.
