I never realised that that big heavy pot on our balcony could serve to grow something. Now the only thing I need to do first is to find out if that pot is in the direct sun the next months and if these paprikas need that or not, or if I need to move the pot for a better chance of success.
I'm going to figure it out though because it's worth a try and a good start because these are my favourite veggies at the moment.
Much to learn, but if I don't start, it will never happen, right?
How have you been? I will head to your blogs to find out.. :)
Probably a stupid question but today I had another batch of these seeds and wondered again.. these seeds with dark spots, are they ok to preserve or are they bad ones?
My instinct says they are not ok but I let them dry all together anyway and so far I've kept them, you probably know a lot about this stuff so might as well ask you @riverflows :)
I think there's a typo? @goldenoakfarm ..
It's not hard to remove them in the end, but if someone has advice, I appreciate it. I'm going to find some time this weekend to hopefully plant some seeds (if the circumstances are ideal that is, often in the weekend we have big winds, which is not ideal at this floor, lol).
I'm not one to pretest seed before planting. I buy good quality seed and store it properly for the general length of time that type of seed tends to last. The paprika seed I used got left out of proper storage conditions last year for too long and that's why there was a problem with it.
If I think the seed might be iffy, I just put in more seeds and thin the weak ones.

Capsicum do like sunshine and some good fertilizer in my experience.
Noted thank you dear!

I wouldn't know actually... Maybe @goldenoakfatm would.
Intuition tells me to chuck them.
