What cute wee peppers! I know you want them to not be cute and wee, but big and tasty! Fingers crossed the sun comes out for you, they do look very healthy :)

That's a lovely plant Mags - looks very healthy and strong. Come on sun, start ripening those lovely looking little peppers. Do you feed the plant Mags?

Yours are doing much better than mine, Mags! And we have had our normal hot sunny weather; they should have flourished but have very few flowers and only the odd fruit. Mine are the Thai hot peppers which I've grown successfully for years; don't know why they are so poorly this season..
Hope yours perk up soon. Will you be making stuffed peppers?

I have heard that feeding with Tomorite can help peppers to ripen Mags. Don't know if it's available in the U.S. Eileen!

I have always used it in past years for tomatoes, peppers and aubergines.

I have grown peppers for the first time this year and have about 8 RED peppers now! I am amazed at how quickly thye have all turned red. However, they aren't very big yet, at least not as bit as the ones you buy in the shops. I have been feeding them with tomorite, along with the runner beans and tomatoes. Does anyone know if they grow as big as the ones in the shops? We have had 2 pciking of runner beans and many more to come. They are delicious. I will have to post a photo of the peppers - I am really proud of them! Yours look good Mags. I have kept mine indoors in the conservatory, maybe that's why they have ripened so well?
