hows everyones chilli plants?

[Scarlet]

TS, I have an overwintered one from seeds you posted out to me early last year.(variety unknown!) All it's chillies point up, can't wait for them to turn red it will look lovely.

Seeing Red!

Finally seeing some red... and in a good way!

Some of mine are starting to turn red and I'm so excited!

Not too many aphids now so I think the garlic/chilli/soap spray followed by a bout with the hose the following evening helped.

I've even been importing lady birds that I find on my allotment!

My gusto purple has purple fruit now but one website says they go from green to red then purple but I never saw them at the red stage so they must have come on very quickly!

Wow red!! I'm starting to see lots of green

And I have not seen any lady birds yet

I spied some Ladybirds in my GH this morning.
I'm just gloating Darcy, here's a pic of my red ones!!

Thank you Vickki, best year I've had with chillies and the growing season isnt over yet! For the first time ever the over wintered ones have been great.

I know there's not much point sowing any chilli seeds at this time but as I'm new to this my Fuego F1 plant doesn't seem enough so I've cheated and bought 2 Apache plants from a flower shop which are just about to flower. Come January I will be planting a hell of a lot of plants but really wanted to have a different variety to see how they grow etc. To me they are looking good, what do you guys think?

My wife bought me an apache it's just come into flower and there's loads I like this plant I have one I grew from seed that's just a little bit behind it

[Chiiliwilly]

Cool! Yeah there's a quite a few flowers which are about to open up! Rather excited to see the results on all my plants when they fruit

Hi all,

I just wanted to update my progress with the sickly Scotch Bonnet that i had to take drastic action on (started on page 13 post 121).

It all looked a mute point with how bad it was and i have done nothing with it other than spray some of the leaves (the ones that didn't fall off) with a solution of epsom salts.
Since then i am happy to report that there has been some new growth.



Hopefully i can get it to grow substantially over the coming months and produce fruit next season.
I will update further once there has been some more improvement.

Thank you darcyvuqua for your advice.
It worked a treat.
