Habanero chillis in greenhouses
 

Whilst I've grown chillis for two years now, this year I invested in a
greenhouse, and all my chilli plants seem to love it. However, living
in South-West Scotland, as well as being wet most of the time, it's
now cold enough for the greenhouse to be damp most of the time. It's
too cold for flowers to stay on the plants, but the dying buds and
flowers are going mouldy rather than dropping off, and quick as I may
be, it spreads like wildfire down to the rest of the plant. Obviously
I remove the offending dead bits as soon as I find them, but the
Habaneros in particular are suffering

Yes, they were late in, but they have got some fruit on, albeit still
green, so I don't want to give up on them. So I wondered if any of you
have experience of growing this breed under glass in a cool damp
climate, and had any pointers in addition to just planting them
earlier next year?

Thanks

I am indeed - he's my Dad :)
True, there aren't many Chaltons about, and even less in Scotland. At
the risk of sounding blunt, why do you ask? And do you grow any chilli
plants :)
