Hi all
For the first time ever, one of my chilli plants has actually got a fully formed yellow flower on it, plus quite a few flower buds.
Now I have never managed to get this far with any chilli plant before, so I am at a bit of a loss what to do next.
The plant is in my blow away, there are a couple of other chillis in there but neither is flowering, or even look like they have buds as yet.
I'm not sure what to do now - do I leave it in the blow away or do I take it out so it can be pollenated by insects, do I wait for another flower to form and pollenate both with a small paintbrush??
I want to make sure this flower (any any others that may develop) turns into fruit, so advice please!
