Hi all, if you're growing chillies, how are you getting on? Here are mine.

So I guess you would be absolutely correct in calling that a 'Hot House'
Looking good Logan!
Thanks Ladybird4, yes you could say that.Are you growing chillies?
I'm afraid not this year but I did last year. I have a great recipe for a chilli lemon sorbet which is delicious! My brother is growing them for me this year. I think I got a bit despondent as apart from the chillis last year my tomatoes were frankly rubbish and I am sure it had something to do with the disgusting summer so I didn't bother to plant any. I might feel more inclined next year.
My "Apache" are ripening. Tiny plugs potted up in April, growing in a 6x4 plastic greenhouse in Manchester.
They look super Kitty 2
Thanks Lady B ?. They're one of my few successes this year despite the weird weather. My toms and cukes have been awful.
Yes they look great,Kitty2.I had no cucumbers this year, tomatoes are ok.
My tumbling toms are doing great outdoors but my greenhouse chillis and my bell peppers aren't ripening yet
My chillies have yellowing leaves couldn't understand why until I went to the plot yesterday.
Depending on weather I've been going two to three times a week to water. They don't get as much water as the toms, I keep them slightly drier and water from the bottom.
The guy on the next plot said he had watered my GH a couple of times thinking I'd not been doing it...
...I know he means well and waters when I'm on holiday. They look over watered and have stopped flowering, Apache, normally a heavy cropper is a tad bit disappointing.
