You've certainly got the knack with aubs SBP. Can you put a spell on mine.

"I have removed loads of flowers"

I should wait until you have 5 or 6 fruits forming nicely, and then remove any fruits that set after that.

Just learned that today. They are in my Mum's porch and when I went to check on them today all flowers have just fell off, leaving nothing. BOO HOO HOO!!

Oh well will leave all other flowers that form on.

Thanks

I only have one plant in the greenhouse. It's just geting flowers. Do I need to polinate it by hand or will the insects do it for me( I am terrible at remembering to do it regularly)?

As far as I know: no.

It certainly won't do any harm. You're not supposed to need to do it with peppers but I get a much better crop after a bit of a fiddle!

Mine don't even have flowers on yet, but I am hopeful that it is just the rubbish weather and not my rubbish gardening that is slowing them down. Shall I feed them or something or just let them get on with it?
