I'm going to have one more try too and then admit defeat! Had another casualty overnight. Which I thought was a little inconsiderate considering all the molly coddling my cucumbers have received this year! Maybe its still just too cold for cukes....Comment

I pinched out the first flowers and tips of my peppers. I didn't do this last year and the plants trying to fruit while they were little stopped them growing much for the whole year, so only had a couple per plant
I read somewhere to pinch them out so the plant gets bushier and then they grow more peppers. That's the theory we'll see if it works

They were sown on (I think) the 19th Feb, and yes, they share the same windowsill as the chillies.Originally posted by Sarico View Post
If they don't grow much and don't produce a lot then so be it and I'll try a different approach next time, but this is my first year of growing anything and I just want to watch them do their own thing and learn as I go.Originally posted by Thelma Sanders View PostI pinched out the first flowers and tips of my peppers.

Has been fun. I should prob get a bit more organised next spring, but has been great just having some veg and flowers and enjoying it this time. AliAli

Thanks Bren, what size is 'tiny' where Peppers are concerned? The photo could be misleading but that plant is only 10 inches tall.Originally posted by Bren In Pots View PostCongrats I'm feeling a bit jealous mine were sown on the 13th Feb and are still tiny.Tried and Tested...but the results are inconclusive
