Re: Peppers


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

Re: Peppers


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?

Re: Peppers


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?

Re: 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.

Re: Peppers


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?
