Good evening everyone,
Been lurking for a year, so it's time I started joining in.
I've been living with the same little suburban garden in rugby for almost 35 years. It's gotten a bit smaller over the years due to the building of a workshop, but it sprouted a couple of little greenhouses by way of compensation. Soil is a limy clay (within sight of Europe's second largest cement works).
Currently there are two each of five varieties of chilli seeds cooking away at 27°C in a heated propagator and tomorrow there may be some tomato rootstock seeds in a cooler one. Both as trials to verify germination times. I was originally planning to experiment with grafting some of the year's cucumber and tomato plants, but then I read that one can graft chillies onto tomato rootstocks!
This morning was spent planting out 45-odd bellis plants from a late September sowing to try to clear some greenhouse space. Still got another three dozen to find homes for...

I tried grafting chillies last year but I failed miserably!!! So you have already peaked my interest and got me frantically searching for seed!!
