No not the band, the seeds. Yes, gardening

Last year's chillis were a bit disappointing, they were warm rather than hot.

Recommendations please for some proper chilli seeds

Ask Blue Pete.... my dads were a bit mild this year too! Dried some out for seed.....but they've already been earmarked as France.

Just wondering how you stop the spider mites getting on them? Still using the seeds from my first packet from wilcos. Not very hot I'm afraid.

I think everyone had a bad chilli year Ed. several lads at work grow and failed, so did I.

I've managed to get a mature Dorset Naga plant, it's about four feet high and still growing now!

I've used hese guys before, http://www.southdevonchillifarm.co.u...&category_id=1

Very good products.

If you choose a really hot variety, get the seeds sown indoors now with extra heat underneath.

The only way that really works is a bit tedious. I don't believe in feeding chemicals to the plants, so I dip a cotton wool bud in meths or similar and wipe it over the damn things. Slow, but it works.
