hi all can i grow from start to finish indoors? Certainly: if you've got a south-facing window you'll get better results than growing them outdoors.

Do i feed with a tomato feed now or when it fruits? Once a week, if you remember, after the first flowers open. A tomato feed is best, but they really aren't fussy: one usually ends up with too many, anyhow. To freeze the surplus, just chuck in a bag and into the freezer -- no need for any other treatment. -- Mike. |

I don't - not even with several plants! But I make hell-fire sauce, and am very fond of using that. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

If ever I come to Cambridge, or you are near Norwich, I could spare half a kilo or so of frozen Scotch Bonnets... Thanks very much. Do they taste any better than habaneros, which I don't like much? I grow Thai dragon, which has a good flavour. I am trying lemon drop for amusement. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

I don't know what the flavour's like, they're so hot that by the time you get round to thinking about flavour, it's long gone. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

The message
from "Niall Smyth" contains these words: hi all can i grow from start to finish indoors? Yes. Choose a nice light place, though. They will do better if you stand the pots outside in a sunny position when all danger of frost is gone. I sowed them in a general houseplant soil (Homebase) I am now pricking out my seedlings. I have innes2, is that better for growing on? Do i feed with a tomato feed now or when it fruits? When the plants are established, feed them. I grow mine in 5" pots. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
