Hi Pods!

I'm glad to see that at least five out of twelve people got the seeds I sent
around the world. I hope that the rest will let me know whether they got the
seeds or not. All of them are gone now except for some Chile Grande and
Christmas, so if there are still some CH's that would like some.......

My Rocoto also dried up and died and now I'm hoping that it won't happen to
my Black Namaqualand and Hawaiian Tabasco, too.

Lots of good looking seedlings in the window. Still some seeds germinating
on the heater. Some life detected in the tray with seeds from Germany.
Thanks Ingrid, they are doing great! No sign of Hot Banana but I was warned
that could happen. Oh well lots of other seeds to use and seedlings to take
care of.

Homepage almost ready. I'll let everyone know when it is and I hope lots of
CH's will visit it to see how this little Dutch girl grows her peppers.

One of the problems I have with seedlings is that when they emerge the hard
shell of the seed sufficates the leaves and won't come off. I tried to
gently crack the shells but ended up hurting the leaves and caused them to
rot. Any tips?

BTW, what are tomatillos exactly and where can I find some seeds? Thanks!

Miss Dewi
