Hi, So the chilli seed went into a heated propagator on the windowsill. Of the eight pots I have seedlings in seven. Joes long is a no show. Question time - how long do I leave them in the heated propagator? Should I transfer them to an Un-heated one? I haven't used the heated one in awhile as I lo...

Dull, windless but warm, off to the garden centre to meet my daughter and her family, don't need anything, but it's my birthday soon(the real one this time lol), so I might need to drop some hints.

Read some of it, very good, though some repeated what's in the magazine, but useful what I've read so far.

My Lemon drops are the ones doing nothing, I didn't pre soak them, so maybe another week then I'll try soaking and sow some more.

Never looked for a website , just bought the mag and found the forum, will look later.

I am lucky in my location, I'm only a mile from a fab beach for flatties, less than 10 miles from several good rock marks for Cod in the winter and Mackerel, Coalies, Pollock and a chance of edible crab and even a lobster. There's shell fish to be gathered, sea weed if you're brave enough and I have...

Dinner at yours then Westi, I've just cleared the last of the Curly Kale, so the garden is now bare.

Warmer and drier today, so turned over a compost heap ready for going under the spuds and brassicas and chopped a few logs and filled the wee log store before it starts snowing or raining again.

I was watching a newt in a part frozen ditch the other week, tough little critters.

Dull, misty but dry up here and a bit warmer, had some pretty rough east winds over the weekend, but doesn't seem to have damaged anything.

Always wanted to go to the Scillies

Blight is another problem though, that's airborne and if you leave the door open, you might just be letting in more than fresh air.

I've had a few Cod this winter and this..................
