I planted my toms out but refuse to gamble with the chillies, they are number one priority lolLast edited by damian1225; 08-05-2017, 01:19 PM.

Similar to Damian, most of my tomatoes are now in the greenhouse, but they will be more cool hardy than chillies.
Playing safe and keeping chillies indoors for now. They're not really getting enough light, but chillies are much less quick to get leggy than tomatoes. I'm hoping their root system is developing so they're ready to take off soon

chenzo
Hello, new chilli grower here, I bought a few Chenzo chilli plants from a garden centre clearance shelf a few weeks ago which were looking pretty sorry for themselves. They've been growing great (I think..) on my sunny kitchen windowsill and are alot bigger but to me, still seem to need to grow a lot more. Anyhow, the last few days I've noticed a few flower buds starting to form, is it ok for them to be forming these while still growing? I've never grown chilli's before, just stuck with the standard tomatoes, strawbs, peas etc so have no idea what to expect from a chilli plant!

Chillies potted on some into final pots. They are all looking happier already.
A home made chilli grow experiment is also under way!

I was thinking of using westlands growsure for both my tomatoes and chilli's.

I shall leave them alone then. Sorry about the picture, no idea why its sideways!
I cant believe how fast they are coming on, looked at them today and I swear new leaves have appeared since yesterday.
Does anyone have experience growing chenzos? How big is the plant meant to get? I'm just wondering where on earth I'm going to fit 5 of them when they get bigger..
I normally like to research what I'm growing before I start, but I couldn't resist a 50p bargain...
