Title: Cayenne Peppers
Post by: silly billy on July 16, 2008, 13:43:39
I have some Cayenne peppers currently in the greenhouse, flowering with some small fruits I am wondering if its best to leave them in the greenhouse or put them out on the patio? Also how big a pot should they end up in? I was thinking of potting them on into the infamous black buckets. Are these the sort of Chillis that I can overwinter and keep them for a few years (hopefully).  Finally what should I feed them?

I over wintered my chillies in 6inch pots and they are covered in fruit, they are still indoors and I hand pollinate with a Q tip just in case. Feed on tomato feed.

I'm growing these too. Some of them have gone rather wrinkly (as if dying), but are still turning from green to red.Is this normal?

Who was the member here who was a chilli fanatic? Anyone got a link to his site?
