:D I know I'm very excited about seedlings but that is cool.

I did the same thing with my chillies but I paid for the seeds. Next time I won't bother. You can just pre-chop them and throw them in the freezer anyway.

We've ordered some lacewing larvae to help deal with our greenfly population. Is there anything we can do to help them stick around once they have grown up? We haven't got much space but I'd like to do as much as I can to encourage them.

They’ve got me! I spent most of the morning finding them on one plant after another. I though I’d got hem all and then millions of the little buggers crawling all over my strawberries.
