If you trim them back you will have less fruit!

My greenhouse if full of chillies, and I can hardly move in there. but I will have a bumper crop.

Pic to follow....

As chilli grower has said ^^^^ Keep the fruit and don't trim. If you need more room, move a couple to the kitchen or give a few away as gifts.

Yep, they are addictive, my freezer is full, I still have jars and jars of chilli jam and sauce...even sold a load to raise money for a charity.
I had to really cut down this year!

Just wanted to show everyone how this pepper is growing. I've got a few that look normal but two that are quite disfigured. I'm sure its going to be ok. Looking forward to seeing how it gets on!

What can I say except never judge a book by its cover, or maybe never judge a chilli till you taste it!

[chilli_grower]

several of mine are like that. Makes no difference!

I have a question.
One of my peppers plants has loads of little black insects under the leaves. I've been spraying them with soapy water but it doesn't seem to be getting rid of them. I don't really want to use any chemicals.
Any idea what they could be or how to get rid of them.
Thanks
