my two chilli plants are looking decidely iffy at the moment, would it be too late to go and buy some seeds and start over again or would i be wasting my time and money? we like chillies particularly the other half and my parrot who can happily eat the hottest ones anybody can throw at him i just have to remember not to kiss him too soon afterwards as i learnt to my horror lol

I would say it would be too late. Mine have taken over 3 month to get to a stage where they are about to flower. Although you could perhaps start them and try and overwinter them so they would be ready to grow next year!

Hi debster, i can't tell you if it's too late or not, but i have plenty of seed left if you want any - if so, just pm me your address. I've got Chilli Pepper Demon Red. Could you start them off to overwinter inside in a conservatory or somewhere?

Have a look in a local nursery for plants - or B&Q - they have rather healthy looking Habaneros which they have managed to raise organically in their own peat free compost. :)

I've also seen Bolivian and Numex Twilight in nurseries/Homebase/B&Q which are good: although relatively small they produce a lot of fruit, and can fit on a windowsill to over winter.

What's wrong with your current plants?
