any thoughts plant them a little earlier next year I have mine outside (in Dublin) - four plants fruiting successfully. I put them out in about May - they were the previous year's plants which survived the winter indoors. Try the same plants outside next year if they survive the winter. -- http://www.intercuts.com/blog/ |

The message
from "fourmations" contains these words: My chillies (indoor) are now two foot high but still no flowers or fruits one plant had three flowers which fell off and nothing happened since I didnt tomato feed them as i though that was for when fruit apperaed there are some buds on them but they aint doing much I had planted them a little late I've got chillis appearing on plants I only started in May, and one or two quite decent chillis on one of last year's plants I pruned back to a couple of inches . I guess you aren't giving them enough water as well as not feeding them. -- Rusty Emus to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co full-stop uk http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

I thought it may be because there were no insects to pollinate the flowers, so I started using a cotton bud, and later a water spray to pollinate them myself. They then started forming chillis, but unfortunately they ended up small chilli shaped sweet peppers (due to lack of sunlight in the UK so I am told). The chillis I took the seeds from were about 3/4" wide by 3" long. The ones I grew were about 1/4" wide by 1 1/2" - 2" long and very hot. Bob |
