  • hi tom i think the best way to prune them is to just roughly grab the stem, aquire an extremley sharp pair of pruning scissors and just snip everything right of till there is practically nothing left!! works a treat on my plants...... but about the shed, it might not be suitable... how big are the windows? the length of say a large dog? if so then thats good thats the right size. hope this has helped!! mwa
  • Having got the chillies to turn from green to red when is the best time to harvest them for use. Are there any tell tell signs to look out for ?
  • Hello, How do you prune Orchids, and Wisterias??

  • Please could you help me. i have just bought a cherry tree (prunus avium 'sylvia) for my patio and l'm won dering what compost l should put it in, or should l use a john innes with soil
    Thank you
  • Like Shrub, I've had a bumper crop of chillies and no idea what to do with them all.
    I grew F1 Apache and Chillie de Cayenne which were planted straight out in the allotment once they were 15 cm high. They have had whatever weather nature threw at them since the start of May and no special protection or care. Next year I will have only a couple of plants, but I still have 600g of fruit from this year to find a use for.
    Any ideas?
  • I have had a bumper crop of chillies this year and have plenty of recipes to use them for. My problem is that no matter what I do, boil, fry, roast, the skins and flesh remain hard and crunchy. Comments appreciated.
  • I freeze mine until i need them
  • I chop mine up small and freeze them. Then I can use whatever quantity I need, ready for the pot. It also saves me from getting the juice embedded in my fingers every time I cook with them. Try as I might to remember, I always manage to rub my eyes after I've been chopping them. They REALLY sting!
