Well as its been raining most of the day, I decided to plant some seeds indoors. managed to lift the half bag of compost into my house and put loads of newspapers on the floor and table.
I deseeded the green pepper that I had half used and have planted them into small pots.
I also planted some flowers, marigolds, poppies and a mixture of freebies I got last year from gardening magazines.

So hopefully when the sun shines thru my lounge window in the afternoons, the trays on my small table will get the heat benefit and start to grow.

Its freezing outside, so going to leave planting my peas and potatoes in large pots til its warmer and a better day.

I cant bend very well as it makes my heart beat quick so I manage but very slowly...im like a snail really but it all gets done in my own time.

If the peppers are a success, I shall post a pic on here so u can all see.

Florence,


let the pepper seeds dry off for a couple of days before planting them and lay edge ways on the compost,,,,,,cover them with cling film on a light & warm window sill and they will need potting into at least 10"pot or a rolled down compost bag and a cane support.they will thrive outside during the summer.....they are easy to grow......

Thankyou kay.
I actually have covered with clingfilm as thought it would keep the heat.

Birdseye peppers can be grown in the garden .they make a lovely bush.

I put the tomato seeds onto kitchen/paper towel then plant the whole thing into the soil.
