    My first peppers have formed!

    And my Draky chillies are now in 'proper' pots. They're taller than the look, but I've buried them up to the first seed leaves.

      My cayennes never germinated but then I checked the packet and they're from 2008 so not all that shocked lol

      Purple jalapeno underway and under the lamp but nowhere near the state of Scrungies

        Some of my Nagas.

        About four dozen there and at least a similar amount not quite ready for potting on.

        A couple of dozen Shiney Hybrids have been potted on but are still small (similar to the ones in the blue containers) but they will be cropping at least a month before the Nagas.

                        Are they OK to move outside to the greenhouse now?

                        Not if it's unheated. They'll survive at 10C but won't be happy and your greenhouse might drop below that. They're much happier being closer to 20C. Otherwise you could stunt their growth considerably.

                        Depending on how the weather goes I wouldn't put them into a cold greenhouse until at least May, particularly as you are up north.

                          Thank you for all your sound advice - I shall, nodoubt, do all of that at some point this week, safe in the knowledge that if / when I end up broke I still have chillies to live on when I get back :-)
