Chillies - growing and overwintering 2018

[Mitzi]

SP I am so jealous! I must try Basket of Fire next year; they look amazing.

1Bee so annoying about the caterpillars. Hope you manage to catch the last one.

Your plan sounds fine; some people cut back hard for overwintering and some leave the plants as they are. I went somewhere in the middle last winter but am probably going to prune a bit more this time round, as they will mostly be going in a north-facing unheated room so they will be more dormant.

That basket of fire is a thing of beauty.

Hi all new face here, first year growing chillies. It felt the natural progression as a chilli head to try grow some. Put into a small tent with led lights after 3 months growing on a window sill. Cant wait to try them fresh from the plant!!

Welcome Saltyseadog! I love your name too!!

You may not be able to post pics yet. Users generally need a few posts under their belt befor the system allows you to upload anything. Keep posting and it won't be long

Are you growing in a greenhouse? Or indoors? Where abouts are you?

Does that count??

Are your plants still quite small then?

[Saltyseadog]

They are about a folt tall at the moment maybe a bit bigger. I have 4 in a 700x700x1600 tent under a 400w led (not sure if i can say brands so wont). Just moved to north of yeovil from north wales. From the south originally.

Going to have to grow some next season.

What other "Hanging basket" compliant varieties are out there. Just got my hands on Orange Wonder. Looking to make use of the crop bars. 2 spaces already taken by wild strawberries. Make nice nibble whilst working in the tunnel
