Of my four overwintered chilli plants the Jalepeno has 4 chillis growing on it. The Purple Tiger has plenty of flowers, the other two - one of which is a Cayenne and doesn't look too healthy, haven't done much at all.

Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.
What would Vedder do? -
Who are you kidding?! I can't even get the seeds to germinate this year
Might have to give in and buy a plant from Wilkinsons
Happy Gardening,

Think I have some jalapenos, my labelling system went kaput so the proof is in the fruiting!Comment

Nope,they are in the "stop" stage at the moment.Their sequence is stop-grow-stop-grow and so on...This is my 1st year growing chillies and they grow when they feel like it and have a mood to grow.Comment

Still at the seed leaf stage, with one pot making a start on the tip of first true leaves.
As for my overwintered pepper - I have a stick.
Did you keep the plant indoors in winter - I mean, in the house?Last edited by maytreefrannie; 27-04-2009, 09:06 AM.My hopes are not always realized but I always hope (Ovid)

I tried to overwinter my chili plants as they refusd to grow more than about 4" high last season, but they succombed to aphid attack. This year's plants are just developing their 3rd leaves and I think I'm just about to bring them into the house from the cold greenhouse after looking at the weather forcast

Yes, all kept on windowsills.Originally posted by maytreefrannie View Post
Mine have been under constant attack from aphids - I've soap sprayed them, put the plants out on sunny days, squished the beggars etc etc. The Purple Tiger seems the only plant that hasn't been touched. Not sure if it's becasue they don't like it, or that the plant is tall and spindly until the top "canopy" - it's actually top heavy, but supported. Maybe I have lazy aphids?Originally posted by terrier View PostI tried to overwinter my chili plants as they refusd to grow more than about 4" high last season, but they succombed to aphid attack.

Never stopped getting chillies from my 3 year old Prairie Fire which now lives on a window ledge all year round. It could do with repotting but I'm loathed to do so when it's so productive. Also kept a Purple Tiger but got get up with that when it got a bit unwieldy and full of bugs so threw it out and have another on it's way. Also have some Nigel's Outdoor from a Feb sowing (indoor at the moment) flowering.Last edited by Alison; 27-04-2009, 11:22 AM.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

My chilli plants have 1 flower so far- lots of new growth so far at least so i'm hoping in few months it will start to produce, will have to see how it goes and hope

Where are you based Crundy? That looks like a good crop so early in the season (unless you're not UK based, in which case you're probably somewhere totally different in the seasons!)

I don't overwinter mine HeyWayne. I founf it wasn't worth the effort - except for a Prairie Fire which produced non stop for about 3 years then died of exhaustion.
The Jalapeno and Big Jim and Hungarian Black I planted early this year are all into flower.
My sweet peppers were planted a bit later. They're growing well but not into flower yet.
From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.Comment

My seedlings are about three inches high but they haven't really grown much in the last couple of weeks. This year I'm growing a variety called 'Paper Lantern',and as I haven't tried growing this sort before I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping for the best!Comment

I've got pods on my apache, adorno, tabasco and orange habaneros. They were all overwintered. All the overwintered plants are flowering and some of the seedlings from this year have flower buds appearing. This is my biggest orange hab pod, just waiting for the sun to come back and ripen it!
