I see no reason why you couldn't start some seeds growing inside - since you don't have much sun you may have to use a "grow-light" of sorts [once they've sprouted] to give them enough light -back in Minnesota when I was in grade school, we used to grow plants during the school year in our class rooms, AND it does get cold in Minnesota Good luck Sharen Rund Bloechl Lockheed Martin Enterprise Information Systems Sunnyvale Data Center sharen.rund.bloechl@lmco.com <mailto:sharen.rund.bloechl@lmco.com> Phone: 408-756-5432 [or] Fax: 408-756-0912 srund@svl.ems.lmco.com <mailto:srund@svl.ems.lmco.com> LMnet: 8-326-5432 Pager: 408-539-5146 web: http://webpager.lmms.lmco.com/perl/mtrocall.cgi <http://webpager.lmms.lmco.com/perl/mtrocall.cgi> [or] Operator Assist: 1-800-725-5079, pin 408-539-5146 ---------- From: scott[SMTP:scott@clove.net.au] Sent: Monday, December 31, 1979 7:00 AM To: chile-heads@globalgarden.com Subject: [CH] aussie chillies G'day all, I'm a year 12 student living in Adelaide, South Australia and one of my mates and I have decided to grow chillis in our backyards. It is currently in the middle of winter here, theres not much sun and it is quite cold...bout 15 degrees Celsius... um does anybody think it is worth starting some seeds off in punnets now?...or would it be better to wait for the summer? cheers,......PaPa Fung
