Pepper plants not growing any further

[Pa Snips]

I just noticed that yours germinated mid-April, in which case they're about 5-6 weeks behind mine, perhaps you need to just wait a little longer as mine took ages to get into their stride and only really started doing well after being put into MFB's, which was also when they went into the greenhouse.

Just an update. One of my plants has shown buds and one has formed into what looks like a little bud and black.brown tip of a chilli? It could be the bud of a flower but it looks black/brown. Has something happened to it and it died or do chillis appear dark when first forming?

My sweet peppers growing on front windowsill in 9cm square pots:

Anyone know why my pods/ flowers are brown? They have that little curly stem bit then in the holder is a little brown/black point like a chilli or flower bud, but it is brown. Is that normal? Some of them arew white and look like flowers.

Doesnt appear dead though the stem bit is perfectly strong and green.

The flowers die then the pepper forms. Is mostly probably just a flower dying off

it seems a bad year for sweet peppers round here,all the other types started okay but no sweet peppers,and when i asked 4 friends they were in the same position,all the other types have grown okay, but not the much wanted sweet peppers,for the first time in 30+ years i had to go and buy some young plants from a shop,now i have them potted up and growing on in the g/house,i wonder if its the long cold spell that stopped them germinating as it did go on for weeks on end...

Where did you start your seeds off? Mine were sown and placed in the airing cupboard or in a heated propagator and germinated fine. They're lagging now of course
