47.7kg from how many plants?  How many kg would you consider a good harvest?  Have you found you didn't have enough for the products you wanted to make?  All in all 47+kg sounds a horrendous amount of chillies to me, but then I've never even  grown one

So many questions       . 68 plants. I expect to average about 1kg per plant. I have run out of some varieties already. Considering 2019 was 54kg ( 67 plants) and 2018 was 79kg (64 plants) (exceptionally good), last year was cr@p   .

I'm just nosy.  Like V, can't imagine that many plants let alone that many chillies.   Fingers crossed for a better season this year.  My couple of seeds haven't emerged yet.  They're not in a propagator so might not like the household atmosphere.  I'll be patient though.   Would they like the heat of the airing cupboard do you think?

Definitely, get them in the airing cupboard. Don’t forget to check them every day for germination. I’ve forgotten several times! They really didn’t like it. Once germinated and you take them out of the airing cupboard, if you could put a little plastic bag or half a pop bottle over the pot. Like a little mini greenhouse, on your window sill. I think they will be quite happy. If P starts whining, send him round. I’ll have a word    .
