Chillies - what are you growing/overwintering?

[Scoot]

Scoot
have you tried giving them a feed.?

Yeah. I feed them about once a week.

[Ms-T]

Yeah. I feed them about once a week.

I have one plant that kept doing that ,for 2 mouths now its giving me chills .
just show it you do not care..give it the I don't care if you live or die..it might be good for you ..ha ha

[Scoot]

Ok I'll try that then haha.

This bloody numex twilight is just flowering and then dropping every flower that opens. It's really annoying me as there are loads of flowers. Even my Guindilla pepper plant, it's put 4 peppers on and they're growing nicely but the rest of the flowers that come on it just drops then after they've opened.

Could there be a reason for this? It's putting me off buying a load of different chilli seeds this winter ready to sow in the spring. I don't want to buy them if I am not going to get anything from them.

Annoying!!!

Could be a number of reasons Scoot......over/under watering......over feeding.......lack of airflow.....poor pollination depending on where they are kept.......don't lose heart.........I have a few different varieties.....some are dropping lots of flowers some are slow to form pods......if you want to try a few for next year I can send you some seeds ��

It'll be interesting to see how all my chilli plants are doing ... after a week of being 'left to it' ......

(Just hoping lovely old neighbour who very kindly offered to water my tom plants in GH hasn't felt the need to overwater my chilli plants ......)

The Pretty Purple which looked 'scorched' last week had seemed to be picking up - I have left them on the floor of GH, away from glass, so hoping no further damage this week - the Epsom salt spray I think perked them up .....

My pretty purple are starting to ripen, do the fruits taste nice..or is it more of an ornamental!?

When I bought my pretty purple seeds, there was no mention of them being 'ornamental' - so hoping that they will be edible, Cptn..!!

Wish my hot wax would ripen, they have green for so long.

Susie, ive been away since Saturday. I flooded the GH floor with water for the toms. The chillies were all watered Fri night. I got back yesterday, my padrons were slightly drooped but all looking good! And it's pretty sunny here in west wilts!

Thanks Ladyslip. I've PM'd you.

I won't give up on the ones I have though haha.

When I get home I'll take a photo of my red ones!

what are these purple ones, think id like to have a go next year too. and the hot wax, not done any of those. got plenty fruiting at the mo, but my reapers are really tiny

[vixylix]

My purple tigers are covered in chillies - but they've not grown at all in about 6 weeks! I'm tempted to cut them all off and see if it spurs into new action!

[Ms-T]

Very nice Cptn...I got flowers on the cross's now too.
