  • I have grown chillies for some time and usually get masses of plants and chillies but not this year-very poor results-so last week went to Chilli Event and came home with 11 different plants. Needless to say my visiting son and grandson went home with some but I still have Rococo, Goat Horn, Sweet Wrinkled Old Man,Bulgarian Carrot, Super Chilli, AJI Crystal and of course Joe's Long Cayenne, Looking forward to seeing results. I also discovered that chillies are perennials-never knew that!
  • I grew my own chillis from seed for the first time this year,on the kitchen windowsill. When they were 3 to 4 inches high I repotted and put in a mini greenhouse, but unfortunately with a couple of days real sun, I lost them..... having another go, but wont be putting in greenhouse !!!!!
    Has anyone grown them on a windowsill and got chilli's ???
  • just growing some Apache chillies for the first time i have flowers and some small chillies i would like to know when i can start picking them
  • My chilli plants look great with tons of flowers - but when the flowers die the stem goes yellow and drops off the plant.
    Any suggestions? I water them regularly and give them a tomato feed once a week.

  • I have grown a chilli plant from seed, it's from one of those 'grow your own' kits. I have three lovely green chillis growing but I don't know what variety it is, how can I find out? can send picture if need be. Thanks Janine.
  • Hi folks

  • I opened the article hoping for advice on actually "growing" chilli peppers. There was nothing.
