Chillies - what are you growing/overwintering?

[Scarlet]

They look fab Allyby!

Vix, Mrs C, ive just looked at my lemon drop...are you sure the brown bit isn't the dried flower gone brown and hasn't dropped off yet?

[Ms-T]

looking good allyby

[vixylix]

Scarlet... ignore my crazy string, it was all I had to mark my isolated flowers and its frayed

[MissC]

Nope definitely not the flower. They're still so tiny though! They're still firm, don't feel rotten. Very odd!

[Ms-T]

Like bario1 said
...Lots of chillies go green>chocolate>black>red during ripening. I must admit they do look like they're going rotten at the brown stage!

Like this one

[MissC]

Yes I understand that Ms-T but I've never known the ripening to take place before the chilli has actually grown?! These are literally 3-4 days after the flower has dropped. And the colour change happened in the space of a day!

[Ms-T]

Do you know how big its going to get ?I have not seen any change colour that quick .

[Scarlet]

Vix, they look normal...some of my lemon drop have darker sides where the sun don't shine , give then a few weeks.
Miss C...I'm stumped! Though would like a few updates, cos they look interesting

A quick update on Anchos Bill & Ben (you might remember they previously had a greenfly infestation and I thought they were doomed....)

Pic taken this morning in GH ~ some lovely green chillis being produced ........

[Ms-T]

See they love you for getting the green fly gone...looking great.

What's a green fly!?

I think there's some colour changing going on.. slight orangey tang..
Looking forward to some eating!.. might even stuff this one!

Such a show off! I've got them now...on my indoor plants, just been waiting for someone to help me get them out to the greenhouse.

They are fruiting well though...the fruits look terrifying

My favourite! We've been missing you Jack, how's your little plot going?

Cptn, is that a very small child's hand holding the chilli in the photo ...........................?

I hope you never get to find out what a 'greenfly' is..............
