First little green bumps in the compost this morning 
Both are Hungarian Black; no action yet from the Ancho Poblano or Trinidad Perfume, but it's early days yet as I only sowed them 9 days ago and the propagator is still on 25ºC, so not at optimum temperature. On the sweet pepper front, Lipstick is germinating nicely but no sign of the Sweet Chocolate yet, nor the aubergines.
However the tomato seedlings are starting to bud their true leaves, so I'll be pricking them out in a couple of weeks. If the weather picks up, I can put the pots into regular seed trays with propagator lids on, and give the peppers and aubergines more heat. Next year I'll be able to sow the heat-lovers earlier and then turn the thermostat down when I sow the tomatoes, but this year the timing just didn't work out.
