What's it like in your garden?
and now waiting to go out, toms are looking fab, chilli's look good but sweet peppers and  aubergines are painfully slow. I'm a novice with flowers and find them alot harder to grow from seed than veg. Cornflower sown in October last year survived by Wintersong

Best Base for Greenhouse?
.  The paved side means I can have a potting bench the length of the GH, which stands on a hard surface and can store pots underneath. At the height of the growing season the bench houses pots of low growing veg like chillies, peppers and aubergines. I grow by AndytheScientist

Paper pots versus what?
I have just spent a happy hour making paper pots which I use to start off my seeds in the propagator. Once the plants are big enough I just pop the paper pot into a 3inch plastic pot for growing on. I just wondered what other folk use for starting by chilli lover

give and you will receive
freind likes cooking curries/hot/spicy food, so gave her a pot with basil, corriander and fennel along with a nice jar containing dried chillies and a bunch of cut lillies. Was thinking of giving a chilli plant this year. Another freind is more meat by Iwant a biggergarden
