Well looks like they are on target, they are late fruiting, which is nice

Mine are growing well!! 4 plants taking up the back of the greenhouse and all over 5ft. Do you want some seeds back VC??Originally posted by veggiechicken View PostThis is my first year without one
I had the same plant growing in the GH for at least 5 years - in about 4" of soil! Tough old things!! Grew it from a supermarket berry. If a berry fell off and I missed it, a group of babies would appear the next year. I'd pick mine when the husk was papery, sometimes just a skeletal shell. the deeper orange the fruit the better, but leave them too long and they split. I've picked them right through the winter, not a lot but a taste is sometimes all you need

Will these die off in winter if outside? or do they go to ground over winter and come back each spring? We don't have a poly tunnel or gh.Ali

In the GH they don't die back completely, the stems stay viable and new stems and leaves grow from them, although new shoots also come from the base. So I don't actually know what would happen if they were outside, sorry!!Comment
