The time to grow all the things you failed to grow is now.............they are cool season veggies......chillies are difficult to start better buy paneeri.....

I have been growing cherry tomatoes for about three years in containers and they have always given me bumper yields, the trick is to plant the veggies in fall season as the temperature is moderate and there is a little trouble of pests such as the most devastating spider mites, the plants will grow all winters here in the southern part of pakistan like punjab and will provide you with fresh harvests during the whole chill season, as the month of March- April sets in the plants will gradually become infested with pests and thats about the end of your vegetable garden.

Don't be dishearten, Tahir is right.. cooler season is good for many veges ..but you can grow them in summer too.. many chillies are easily grown throughout the summer, tomatoes need some shade in summer, okra (bhindi) will grow without any special care.. see the vegetable calender posted by Mir Afzal sb.
May be you didn't get the fresh seeds, to get the fresh seeds don't order from the seed shops (unless you want a specific variety not available in the market).. rather to go any sabzi wala near you house and pick the ripe vegges for example red chillies, old wrinkled pea pods, sprouting colocasia (arvi), sprouting potatoes, ripe rotten tomatoes etc etc these will give you best seeds and started plants with almost 100% germination..

yes u all r right..

now late sowing here in rahim yar khan is much successful.. now seeds are germinating ...

[khalidaminryk]

i m not successful in germinating shimla twice...
any tip ???

[Izhar]

Fresh seeds germinate within a week, get a ripe old shimla mirch from sabzi wala and place it in shade, it will become dry within two to three weeks, use the seeds..

Dear Mr Izhar..

after three weeks it will be late November, will it not too late for sowing ???

[Izhar]

If your area dont have frost in winter then they will be fine...
