Grand! I'll leave them too it and see what happens. My jalepenos are shooting up as well, have had to stake one of them - I'm assuming this is standard.

Also, I've had real trouble germinating any chilli seed I've got - I've tried a few different things, multi purpose compost, specialist seed compost and then specialist seed compost with vermiculite on top - nothing has worked as yet. Any hints or tips gratefully received as I'm partial to the odd chilli or two.

Thanks, Chris

PS - The rain has stopped, the water butt is full and I'm hoping that the reasonable weather holds for tomorrow!
