    Hi,

    I planted some seeds a few weeks back. There are doing quite well. But I have just forgotten what they are. Peppers or chilli I think.

    IMG_0441.JPG Yup, I have just bought some labels and a marker so not to do this again :)

    Courgettes, cucumbers, marrows, pumpkins, etc. or whatever form of squash/cucurbit you've sown. If you've planted more than one of these it may possible to indentify/separate them when the first true leaves have formed.

    P.S. Do you want some pics of pepper/chilli seedlings so you'll recognise those when they peep through?

    I don't think they are Chillis Angelo , the pic below is Chilli seedlings at 2 weeks , 3 weeks and a month old . I try and make my labels out before I sow the seeds - I have got mixed up so many times !

      So which one(s?) of those are they?


      (and I'm the one who last year muddled up their dwarf bush tomato plants suitable for planting in containers with standard cordon tomatoes for growing up canes - what a mess my window boxes looked!)

        Pepper, not cucumbers/courgettes or pumpkins perhaps marrows. The seeds were red

        They are not Peppers Angelo. They must be Marrow then?, although I've never seen red Marrow seed before :scratch:
