Both Chillies and Peppers are perennials, if they are kept frost free during the winter they will produce fruit much earlier (and more of it) than sewing new plants each year.
Thanks for the advice Katie B. I was just about to sow some courgettes which I am not that crazy about. I think I'll give those seeds to my sister. I'm enjoying it so far and now that my various seedlings are growing larger I can't wait for the warmer weather to plant them all out.
My sister gave me some pepper plant seedlings which I put into my greenhouse. Within a week something had munched its way through the leaves, leaving bare stems. There was no sign of slugs and the runner beans had not been touched. Any ideas. She has recently given me another lot which i have put in their little pot into a great big pot and so far, 4 days they are still intact!
Thanx have a go g'. never knew chillies etc. were perennials. unlike others, i find them easy to grow (if nothing eats them!) will try overwintering indoors.
I have recently purchased a Californian Wonder pepper plant - any advise on the best way to grow these? Indoors/outdoors? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
I am growing peppers for the first time and am really pleased with the size of them and that they look so healthy. I don't know however if they have a natural dark patch where the side shoot meets the stem or if they have something wrong with them. I assume anyone who has grown them before will easily be able to answer but I have no comparison. Anyone advise?
I have sown my free seeds of chilli's and Peppers and they have come up. They are about 1.5 inches high now, but my tomatoes are still only about 2 inches high but leggy. Am I doing something wrong? and do they need to go outside?
I got myself a green house earlier this year and started gardening only 3 months ago, so it's all new to me. Can anybody tell me why my tomato plant leaves have all gone brown and why I don't have many flowers on them yet. Each plant is now about four foot tall.
