Mine are moving along slowly!
Not as established as some of you have got yours!
. .
Not too concerned yet! They're growing!
And to be honest most of the bigger one's I'll start potting on, so that should give em a little encouragement and a bit of "Humph"
Oh! SP! Yours are now starting to go upright!"Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad"

Most of my 2018 plants are sick, hit by the double whammy of oedema and aphids. Ladybird numbers are slowly increasing but the aphids are winning at the moment. Don't think this is going to be my year.
Two of the overwinters - Aleppo and Bahamian Goat - are setting pods and seem to be thriving. Other than that, meh.

Come on Mitzi, I'm rooting for you and your plants.
Neither oedema nor aphids need to be terminal. I'm sure you already know how best to handle those conditions to give your plants best chance to recover.
More sunlight and warmer temperatures soon, will improve the prospects for all our plants

'Scuse my butting in, but what do I do now?
My chilli has made it through the winter, and considering we had several bouts of ice on the inside of our windows, is no mean feat.
I take it that it needs to stay indoors until the growhouse is consistently staying above 10C. Do I re pot now? Feed it? What with?
All wisdom gratefully received.

If you have a lots of straggly growth a prune back won’t hurt it. It will fruit a bit later but you’ll get lots more new growth and give it a better, bushier shape.

I'll be potting mine up this coming weekend into nice fresh compost an shall be burying it a little deeper.
A final little trim to make it look symmetrical............
Oh! and encourage bushiness of course!
A little dose of seaweed feed, then we're in the lap of the gods!
Oh! and we're getting very near that time of potting on the new babies!
So pot washing in full flow!
