I'm looking forward to having wigwams in the garden too...I've deliberately cut down on our beds to make less work so what I have will have to work hard for it's keep.

I'm interested in starting seeds off but I don't have many window sills or a greenhouse etc...I might just try one variety and use plants for the rest until I get better equipped (which relies on being successful.

The chillis are for looks only, Mrs T - I have never used them for cooking but I saw them at Wimpole Hall this summer and they looked so pretty...who knows, it they work I might spice up my culinary skills too...
