Hi, can any one tell me how to preserve sweet peppers we have eaten them abroad slightly cooked but not done in vinegar and the only recipe,s i can find are preserved in vinegar. thanks
My chilli pepper plants are growing really well and I have lots of green chillies (which are now quite big for chilli peppers) when do they go red please, how patient do I need to be?
I have the same question as Molly. My Chillies are about 3 inches long but green - will they turn red? Worried if I leave them too long that they might turn bad?
I also have chilli peppers that i am waiting to turn red. i fear that if i pick them when green they might not be hot enough. I also noticed that some of the flowers fall off.
My 2 Chilli plants are both about 2.5 - 3ft tall and although they have had flowers on them for weeks now they do not seem to be developing into fruits. Same with my red pepper plant. They are in one of those walk in plastic greenhouses at the moment. Would I be better off planting them outside?
Chillies!!! Im addicted! I love growing this plant..in fact i have a greenhouse crammed full of different types!!! the free seeds are now romping away producing some weird and wonderful shaped chillies!! Used my first of the green chillis in a thai green curry last night!! (have to go easy was a bit too hot for some!!) Red Chillis are fantasic dried i still have about a quarter left of last years crop.
Yes, I'm a novice veg gardener too. My pepper plants are all doing well (in about 8/9" pots). They've grown to about 10" high and have masses of flowers and small peppers now but I'm concerned that the peppers wont have enough room to grow as they seem somewhat crowded. Should I take out some of the shoots to give the fruits room, should I have potted them into bigger pots as they haven't grown as tall as I would have expected or do I just leave them and hope for the best?
NO leave the chilli plants in the greenhouse and have patience ive only just had about 4 green chillies off of my plants and i have loads of plants!! don't forget they will crop right through till October so leave them where they are leave the door open on a really hot day they will be fine make sure water frequent and feed one every week/two weeks ill also keep my fingers crossed xxx
I'm a novice gardener too, what can I do to get rid of the green and brown aphids that are covering my chilli plants? I've tried picking them off and soap solution but still covered- any ideas?
