That's my trouble - insufficient heat to keep anything going and having had no place t safely over-winter anything other than the polythene greenhouse, my last year's peppers died. All that has survived this winter is the lemon and orange bushes plus the few little cuttings I took from succulents. It's still freezing here but I'm hoping the seeds will eventually get enough heat through their tin cans while sitting on a shelf in the living room.NYK in Frugaldomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01702184851369212088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872493581238440851.post-50310224069170863982014-02-24T11:48:23.911+00:002014-02-24T11:48:23.911+00:00I saved my pepper seeds all last year I have sown ...I saved my pepper seeds all last year I have sown them and am now potting them on.
