Ok I now have (so far) Aphid free peppers. I did this by squishing them with tweezers and flushing them down the sink, then transplanting them to hopefully aphid free soil.

But in my haste I have managed to damage 3 seedlings roots, they were quite a leggy plant and have gone a bit like cress atm. I burried them a bit deeper and spaced them out 3 to a 3in pot, are they likely to recover, and how do I get them then to thicken up a bit?

I've got them in a plastic bottle caps on and in a warm place (indoors) with lots of light as this is what my other (chilli) seedlings seem to love.

I'm just experimenting with these as I only have a back yard, and would like to see what grows best before I commit, so forgive my newbie questions.

Any help much appreciated.
