Capsicum - Scotch Bonnet Advice
 
First time I have attempted to grow Scotch bonnets.
A little concerned they are growing too slowly and will not mature.

Are they best kept in greenhouse or should I harden them off outside???

Summer in England is a bit hit and miss.
Varieties such as Anaheim, Apache and Cayenne seem best for English climate.
Just trying something different.

How about you tell us what your climate is. What is your maximum and
minimum daily temperature likely to be over summer? How long is your growing
season between last and first frost?

Current daytime temps are about 60-68F.
At night around 38-42F.
Keep plants indoors overnight.

Growing season starts about now till mid September.
Being an Island our weather is really unpredictable.
When sky's are clear there is a chance of frost.

My other chillies are fine.
Just the Scotch Bonnets that are struggling.
