Went to plant our chillies that we grow out on the allotment, Thai

any seeds in my box and then to make matters worse on T & M's site
against Thai Dragon it says "Sold out". Ahhhhh!
Found some red ones in our freezer so will defrost, remove the seeds,
and try planting those, what chance do you think we have of getting
any to germinate?
The other thing is they will probably be crosses between the two anyway.


I've got some dried ones which I grew I don't know how many years
ago. I've just started using them to make a spicy soup so will need
some more soon. I wonder if mine will germinate.....

I've grown chillies from very old seed before so provided they have
been kept dry they should be OK.


Thanks for the encouragement. I'll give it a try.
