Garden: Seed Sowing at Last

Finally, a few chilli and pepper seedlings are showing their faces.  Maybe spring is on the way, after all.

I don't have a heated propagator or central heating so have to be quite ingenious about getting those seedlings that need heat off to an early start  - peppers, aubergines and chillies.  I've found that if I wait for the weather to warm up enough for the seeds to germinate without help,  I can then be caught out by bad weather at the back end of the year.  We can have a first frost any time between mid October and late December.
