Had to de-lurk to answer this one. John, you and I talked chiles some
years back - you probably won't remember me, but I don't know anyone else
who had a hab plant called Hayley!
You're way ahead of me on the seed front - I was thinking of cracking mine
off in a couple of weeks time, and I'm several hundred miles south of you.
But as you've got added heat and light, sounds good to me.

Sounds like you could be in for a seriously interesting time!
This year I've got seed for bonnets, cayenne, New Mex, Caribbean red hot,
padron, datil, rocoto, something I'm not sure of that I call 'Orange
fruity', and various Thai chiles.
Any other UK 'Heads with plans for the chile season?
All the best,
Wendy
