As you say Jenny - worth a try. What a pity all my Gypsy peppers are already in the freezer  :(.

I've got Canape (F1) and Sweet Rainbow, both have ripened/are ripening for the first time ever.  :)
I hoe, I hoe, then off to work I go.

I have decided that I really do like enormous but green peppers lol
When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"

Your peppers are stunning Tim.  Can you divulge the make of the growbags that you use please and what you feed your greenhouse plants with?  Thanks.

I really don't think it makes much odds? I'm sure TG & others will comment.

You see, the ones in this thread are in http://www.thewormcastcompany.co.uk/ bags, while these below are in cheapo ones. Much is luck? Other Peppers ithe same bags have been very poor & late.

Everything in the greenhouse - this year - has ben getting a twice-weekly feed of high K.

Thanks for that reply Tim.  I have tried to grow peppers for two years now but without success.  The plants grow to about 3 inches and then stop.  Mine have never had fruit.  Perhaps it will be a case of third time lucky next year.   :D
