[Bribie G]

Got seeds in no time from hippy seed company.

Didn't get much to sprout but I'm pushing **** uphill in this climate for most chilli to thrive.

All plants I did have carked ovee winter, hippy seeds were planted pretty late in the warm season too.

Will try again.

'Reputable' and 'e bay' seem to be somewhat mutually exclusive.

I've had good results buying seeds and the odd tube stock from this mob.

Perhaps if you ask nicely over in the All things chilli thread, one of the members may be kind enough to help you out.

Get serious. Get a greenhouse.
Then you can kill your plants with heat. Like me. Cos it got real hot one day and I left the ventilation flaps closed.

Eden seeds are a heritage seed bank, at Beechmont. Lovely mob and dead reliable. I've been using them for so long that my first order was on a form out of the paper catalogue and I sent a cheque. Haha. They have just redone their website which is bit clunky but they'll get there.

I've just planted Big Jim and Anaheim chillies that are mild to medium.
Most nursery or hardware store chillies seem to be fierce varieties but I'm more a Jalapeño man.

 

[Dave70]

If heritage seed be the same thing a heirloom seed, I'll admit they seem to be a little fickle about germinating / growing conditions. I've come to realize my a times indifferent approach to gardening needs to be more on point. On the plus side, even if the plant runs to seed or the fruit is pathetically small, like my heirloom romas, you can always harvest the seeds and have another go. Again and again.

I prefer to use Eden as they are in my climate zone and I always have good results.
When I lived further South, likewise I bought from Green Patch at Taree.

For the OP in Brisbane Eden would be a good first port of call.

The one good thing about moving to Muswellbrook is how bloody hot the soil is in summer
Hoping my Butch T's are smoking hot this year

well I am partial to a bit of Makers Mark

All my seeds cam from The Hippy Seed Co

 

[Devhay]

Another vote for Hippy Seed Co.
They've always been great

 

[drsmurto]

I buy all my vegie seeds from boondie seeds. Smaller quantities at a much smaller price.

 

[indica86]

I bought some from chilliseedbank - they were good.
Also good to buy chilli plants from Bunnings. Good variety and then you can let them drop and keep growing.

I know mate but I took a punt anyway.

I did get a heap of different plants to sprout and some fruit - just got the ones from HSC in too late and no survivors over tas winter.

 

[eldertaco]

I bought some from chilliseedbank and somehow aussiepost lost them, but the bloke there resent them no dramas at all.

Haven't planted any yet though, because the reaper seeds I'd saved from chillies that I thought weren't going to go finally came through.

I used to put my seeds on top of the hot water unit. Keeps them nice and warm

 

[manticle]

I did trick an eggplant into sprouting by watering inside with warm water but no joy on the fruit.

We get plenty down here that does very well and I've never had a vege garden as diverse and flourishing as I do now so if these things work, they're a bonus.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

The Lemon Aji would go well down there, its a cold climate chilli

I Vouch for the temp control for germinating chilli seeds is very important. No matter were you get them from. Between 20 to 30c consistent 25c is best IMO. It can still take some seeds up to 6 weeks in that temp control. There is always exceptions though. Like my own kept seeds can spring up in a week. No effort self seeders in the garden too.
They are adaptive so your own kept seeds can be adapted to your own climate. Although if you have a mix of types your own kept seeds can also be crossbreeds too. That's no bad thing. Its like a home brew. Your own home breed.

i bought some super hots from rahi seedbank on ebay, he sent me a whole bunch of cayenne seeds instead

 

[Danscraftbeer]

Go Aussie. Believe it or not Australia actually clears some high bars. I'm tempted to post links but I don't have them all on hand and Its too late and I'm loaded.
the likes of: Chilli Farm, Chilli Factory etc. Thats were I got my pure breed seeds from and they were spectacular. Many Photo worthy. 120 to 300+ chilli per plant etc.

I found 30C constant worked a treat.

Ferment freezer did the job for the majority of seedlings at 24C. I used a smaller fridge for the chillis, capsicum and eggplant at 30C. Germination rate was above 90% for most seeds.

They've been in a greenhouse for the past month but it's been very cold so they have survived but not thrived. Heating up now so I'm hoping another month and they will be ready for the wicking garden beds.

I used to have lots of varieties, but lost the seeds in a move and the seeds ended up in storage. When I got them they never sprouted. Fatalii, Peach Hananero, Chocolate Habanero, Scotch Bonnets, C. galapagoense....... A couple of un-named USDA nos. <sigh>

Lost the passion after I lost those seeds.


Maybe I should get back on the horse.

Another thing that helps with seeds is to soak them in some Miltons ( the baby sterilising stuff )

They have a membrane around the seed ( like tomato's ) that needs to be broken down before they germinate. Normally the act of the fruit rotting breaks it down, but harvested seeds still have the protective membrane so needs a bit of a help along

They like to be kept nice and moist to germinate. I always found those compressed peat jiffy blocks to be really good for chillli seedlings
