Struggling a little this year, Jalapeno's are slow, Joe's Long are slow too.I have some first year Aji pickled Frogs that are producing fruit but not many but my Bird's Eyes are not too bad. Trouble is I love pickling the Jalapeno's and this year I may not have enough to do even one batch.
Can be quicker and more productive to but those potted herbs and pot on in bigger pots. Chives and Parsley will both grow well if thinned out and repotted in to larger pots. I would grow the likes of Thyme,Sage and Rosemary from seed as you will probably pay upwards of £2.99 for a pot plant from...
