I expect this is a dumb question that has been asked a million times before but I can't find a conclusive answer anywhere!
I have a few different pepper/chilli plants in my greenhouse. Apache, Colour Spectrum, Sweet Ingrid, Medina (grafted) and Chocolate. Many are now showing flowers. I have read dozens of books, searched far too many websites to find out if these plants need any human intervention in terms of pollination. Some say yes, tickle with a paintbrush, some say no, you might damage them.
So, lest I suffer the slings and arrows of a very anticipatory OH ("you can have a greenhouse if you grow me some strawberries and some peppers") I need to know, to pollinate or not to pollinate? That is my question.
