Hello, I'm fairly young and just getting into growing plants so I need a few tips.
So far I have grown some little flowers on my windowsill and they lasted a while (until I forgot to water them for a while). But that's about it. I love the idea of growing plants, and I always loved my grandad's garden that's full of delicious goodies like potatoes and tomatoes.
One day I was helping him with a few things on his trip to the local greenhouse centre and I saw a chilli seed section. As soon as I saw them I remembered reading somewhere that they sometimes do better if you forget to water them, so I thought it would be fun to get some to replace my recently deceased flowers.
I didn't really think too much about the fact it was October and its best to plant them in February. I asked my Grandad if it was fine, and he said as long as I am planting them indoors then it shouldn't matter too much. (keep in mind though he has never grown chillies before)
So I got a cute little propagator and planted them. After doing a little research though I haven't found any info on planting chillies in Autumn so I'm beginning to panic a little. I saved half the seeds just incase, and put them in the fridge, so I have some left to try in spring.
Any tips on how to keep my recently planted little seedlings alive and growing over winter?
