Sown 18th March, potted on 26th April, these banana peppers were sown at the same time.  These peppers are in the same GH as the tomatoes and are treated the same.  I have another GH where I'm growing sweet potatoes, aubergines and melons which I'm keeping at a higher temperature (approx 35C). The peppers in this GH are sturdy and strong plants, but no flowers, hence no fruit. Outside peppers are doing well with small fruit.  Point is peppers do not seem to like it too hot.

Blimey, Mike B, how d'ya do it! ;D Just got the start of a couple of chillies, one or two slight swellings indicating toms, and lots of beginnings of courgettes but no male flowers to pollinate to fruition!  Anyone else as far behind as me? ;D :-\

I find the potting on time is critical, the longer you leave it, the longer it takes for the peppers to flower etc.

Mike I don't know anything about growing peppers (I am still learning how to grow most things :) ) but from other members posts  you have come up trumps. Congratulations.
