Chillies - what are you growing/overwintering?

[Scarlet]

They all look too similar to tell just yet....though even when they fruit you might not be able to work it out either. Post a pic when they have fruited.

Slightly off topic... I got three 'mystery' plants at the allotment plant sale a few weeks ago. But have no idea what they are (other than that they are chillis/peppers) is there any way of identifying them or will I just have to wait and see what they produce? They're going great guns in the blowaway at the moment, some teeny tiny flower pods are forming.

Miss C - my brother gave me some plants he's grown : he sowed both chillis and sweet peppers - when he went to pot them on, the pen he'd used to write on the marker had vanished!!!

So, pot-luck for me too ....! . It'll be interesting to find out what they are!! Lol

Yesterday, I potted on what I think is a fine specimen of an Ancho, into its final(?) pot - 10litre size - hoping that's going to be big enough - as I don't have any bigger ones!!

To give my chillies a bit more kick I play metal to them. Today is Enslaved and the Crawling. They'd better appreciate it.......

I think your chillies are doing very well .must be the music

My secret is out

My mum use to give all her plants cold tea from the teapot..even the chille that sat on draining board.she use them in her curried brawn she use to make and sell..all plants grow really well..it was a long long time ago.

Bacchus, perhaps that's where I'm going wrong..! Maybe I'd get more vigorous growth by playing them a bit of AC/DC rather than Eva Cassidy .........!!!!!!!

and don't forget the Cptn uses pond water ..you could do that too

Ms-T ~~ you should see the state of my pond ~~ it's been neglected for many years and the water looks like thick, gloopy sludge ....... So don't think I'm going to be tempted to delve into that and feed it to my lovelies ......... they'd probably give a collective gasp and carc it!!

Not 100% sure what im going to do with them will try and stuff them in the greenhouse somehow!

Maverick, think I'd prefer to be in my kitchen to stuff 'em rather than the GH - not as much compost lying around in there .....!!!

They're looking good, forgot to say!

Sweet Pepper var. Hamik

Very helpful people, early on I had trouble with them looking very sickly and they gave me the advice of mixing in chicken manure pellets in and since then they have really picked up

[Scarlet]

They look great Mav - really good colour. A few of mine have been potted on with some chicken manure pellets into some big pots. They don't look too bad but I think some nights have been a little cold as some plants the top leaves look a little droopy
