About half my chillies have germinated already - some time in the last 36 hours anyway. Chamomile soaked from 25th Jan, planted in pairs in mini pots on 28th Jan and popped into the #HotFridge, germinated circa 3rd/4th Feb.

If there is a race to be won here I guess the prize goes to the Chilli Chump "Kimchi Pepper" seeds — all 4 seeds strongly germinated!

Currently our no-shows are Chilli Chump Naga Morich, and also both Rocoto varieties (Marlene and Costa Rica, also both Chilli Chump, from last year.)

On the superhot germination front we have have a single Naga Morich from Fatalii and a single 7 Pot Brainstrain Yellow from Chilli Chump. That's pretty speedy for superhots really.

@yvan one of my overwintered chillis has died (the one that grew stalk and leaves vigorously last year and never fruited).
Other four aren't looking great, but I'm hoping they'll last till spring move to greenhouse.

@armb I've only tried to overwinter two this year, the Naga Morich and 7 Pot Primo from the allotment greenhouse. I think one of them has carked it, isn't looking very alive... the other still has plenty of green stem and seems OK. It is possible another chilli I didn't mean to overwinter has survived in the porch... which is actually a 2024 overwintered superhot chilli that never fruited in 2025.
