yes.

they look like little tomato seeds....pale yellow or cream and teeny.

I believe you're s'posed to sow them in a heated prop, but the only survivors last year that actually fruited for us were those started in G2's wonderful vermiculite prop Shocked

I grew them for the first time last year, sowed them in February, just kept potting em on like toms and kept them in the greenhouse, hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooge plants they were, unfortunately they were just starting to ripen as I left the old house so they have a long growing season (8 months last year) I've got my seeds out ready to sow again this weekend Laughing

Well I'd best get them in then so I can see if I can get a crop before the August sun kills them Very Happy
