Newbie: Growing chillies indoors
"Dave wrote in message Got the first flower open on this years plants today, so thats roughly two months from planting I think. Sounds about right, never actually timed them, and we grow ours outside after germination etc in our little greenhouse. (bit further S. than you) :-) By Sept. we are normally expecting frost so we pull ours up then and pull off the fruit which are mainly green. Freeze very well and without blanching. We normally have enough from half a dozen plants to freeze for ourselves for the year ahead, a supply to our neighbours, and a carrier bag full left over for our favourite Indian Restaurant. One thing you have to be very careful of, growing in a greenhouse, is that the amount of water given to the plants affects the heat of the fruit. They must have plenty of water especially in the fortnight leading up to picking or they will be mild tasting no matter what the variety. -- Bob www.pooleygreengrowers.org.uk/ about an Allotment site in Runnymede fighting for it's existence. .. |
