Chillies - growing and overwintering 2017

[Deano's "Diggin It"]

CG! Bang em in ought you've got!

Yeah! JI a little to much! They really appreciate "Rough Stuff" lumps n all!

I'd stick em in a 10ltr MFB to be fair, and the sooner the better!

Really healthy looking plants though!

I've never put chillis in big pots before , will do first thing and give them a good watering.
Cheers deano.

Re: Harvesting

I normally just pick as and when but two of the plants I bought the other day have quite a few red ones on . Am I better to pick them , is the plant putting effort into those than producing others or does it not matter if left on.

[vixylix]

If they're red, pick em!!

And you will be surprised when you do how quickly the plants develop, establish and grow!

Took a leaf out of SP's and others book from last year, really is a winner!

Lovely "Haul" there SP!

My hat to you!

Really need to invest in a proper "Polytunnel"

Label on plant doesn't match look

This has obviously had the wrong tag in it I think, but now I don't know what it is.
It's quite a compact plant but all growing up the way


But when gooooogled it shows Krakatoa as mine is, just their daft pic on tag looks nothing like

Can't help sorry, never grown or seen a Krakatoa chilli. I may have to grow one next year just because I like the name
