I thought it best to open up comments I think I was putting people off before. Anyhoo, it is quite true tomatoes do seem to take an age to go red in this country, especially Oop North where I am. I have found it there is a stubborn tomato of a decent size that just stays green no matter how much sun or feed it gets, then I pick in and put in a fruit bowl next to a banana for a while. This seems to help the tomato finds its true red self. Dear Jem,

This gardening malarkey requires more patience than I realised! ;) I see you’ve opened comments! :)

Ours are just flowering so I'm hoping the new sun that's been showing its face this week will help to encourage the fruit to start growing. Nice chillis Marge.

]]> Comment on The chillis are getting bigger by Marge http://margeland.co.uk/blog/2007/02/25/the-chillis-are-getting-bigger/#comment-8 Marge Mon, 26 Feb 2007 15:39:21 +0000 http://margeland.co.uk/blog/2007/02/25/the-chillis-are-getting-bigger/#comment-8 Thanks SarahG, from planting to first germinating the seeds took about 10 days. It has taken about 20 days to reach the current stage they are at now. I would give it time for your chilli seeds. Incidentally, what sort of conditions have they been sown in? (ie on a window sill, or in a propagator etc.?) Thanks SarahG, from planting to first germinating the seeds took about 10 days. It has taken about 20 days to reach the current stage they are at now.

How long did it take before they started to grow? I started ours last week and am not seeing a thing :( Packet says 7-10 days. They’re looking good! How long did it take before they started to grow?

I have been known to use the powder version plus a little milk, but I prefer a decent coca powder with boiled milk (done in microwave). I do remember trying these fancy chocolate flakes from a posh deli that I mixed with milk and zapped in the microwave (couldn't be bothered to use the stove), and it was gorgeous - expensive really, but gorgeous!
