Chillies - what are you growing/overwintering?

[Small pumpkin]

I bagged my first spaghetti chilli flower ready from the seed swap. Never done the bagging thing before, hope it works.

Probably just short of 2ft, and he is quite bushy.

Went in the GH this morning before setting off for work, looks like the hot lot are getting ready to start producing flowers.

My Peruvian Lemon Drop looks like it might of filled the pot its in as I noticed a white root just poking out the bottom, might be time to repot into a CFB with plenty of charge added to the compost together with perlite.

Noticed that they all are starting to get bushier with loads of side shoots showing, so just for Susie I'm tempted to say I'll be trimming my bush when its gets too overgrown lol. I'll be taking pictures later.

OMG! please remember this is a family friendly forum

Thanks both of you..just spat tea all over my keyboard

Susie, has your local garden centre got a pot recycling? I get mine from places like that. Wilk@s also have some big pots.

Thanks Scarlet ~ didn't know about pot recycling ..... And Wilk@s isn't too far away, just not driving at the mo and DH hates being dragged around places where I can spend hours mooching .....!

SP - I'd never heard of Spaghetti chilli so I've done a gurgle and they look awesome! Pretty excited about the seed circle now

Well, I've eaten a few now and the Hungarian hot wax are pretty much the perfect heat for me!

The untrimmed Bush is much further ahead but the trimmed one is going to produce many more fruits!

[Scarlet]

They are really good looking plants Captain! I'm getting really jealous!

They are Morrison's flower buckets! I'm guessing the uncut is 18" and the cut one is about 24"..

[Scarlet]

2ft!
