Oh no forgot i closed the lights in greenhouse as it was very windy. Didn't get to go and water the next day til a bit later. my chilli plants took the brunt of it and about 15 plants look practically dead. very disheartening

If you've given them all some water, I bet the chilli plants recover, they're pretty 'hardy'.

Even if the 'current' leaves drop, don't throw them away without checking whether more are growing....look forward to seeing photos of your chillies!
