Not fed mine with ought yet LB, but just back from the allotment and have brought back a tub of "Bio Grow" Black Gold, a seaweed feed, which after a much needed hot bath, I will start potting my babies on and give em a taste!"Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad"

I'm still getting the occasional chilli seedling popping up.
This morning it was a Congo Yellow Trinidad

Still only on water.
Looks like my jalapeño are budding first. Think it's about 15cm in height and still under grow lights????
Red cherry not so high and leaves seem to be discoloured burned look have pulled some off can't pull any more off as will have none left
3 Frjgitellos all at different heights and different areas of the house might repot them in the fortnight as want to try again with my HHW for the 3rd time as I am learning to have a bit patience with chillis/peppers.
Finally cayenne started later than the others is doing well

I'm pleased to report that everything survived my holiday, although the babies in the Jiffy 7s were all wilting despite having (he says) been watered. The overwinters are going a bomb, it certainly seems true that chilli plants are more productive in their second year. Several of this year's plants are flowering now (I think being constricted in small-ish pots brings flowering on sooner) and the first to set pods is the Aji Omnicolor.

I can't post a picture now, but I'll try and post one tomorrow. My (accidentally) overwintered chilli didn't grow so well last year and I assumed it had died.
It hasn't, and it now looks like a gnarled green stick with some leaves and some leaves. And surprisingly it also has started flowering, although those flowers have dropped off repeatedly despite being hand-polinated (it's a bit of an experiment 'how much can one plant takes before it dies?') so I assume it's not happy with the watering (the pot isn't very big though so that's why).
This post is quite useless without pictures, but if you inherited a stick with small leaves that didn't seem to be making any more growth outside of flowers would you cut it to promote branching growth?Forgive me for my pages of text.

Can you upload pics to a photo hosting site and just link them to here? I use Photobucket although I have a lot of problems with it. It used to be really easy and reliable but then they added a whole load more functionality to it and it makes the basic thing of uploading and linking much more difficult. But it's possible.
