I haven't had many either- don't think it's been warm enough for them. :(

I have to say that ours have been a complete washout (literally and figuratively).  Even one that size would have been an achievement!

But it takes a warmer than average summer to really produce a reasonable crop.  Ah well, maybe next year.  :)

It's the taste that counts.  Size isn't everything  :o :o :o :o :o :o

Don't be disheartened, it has been a terrible year , I am relieved that I didn't grow peppers this year.

A thought for another year...if it is a bad one. I find Gypsy will give fruit when others falter as they will stand a bit more cold and damp... it has worked very well for me in the past so a variety I  am confident with.

We will  look forward to a good year next year.. bless us all

Sorry I've got to disagree with you all. In sunny Ipswich I've had a good year for growth.... Some good size green peppers. I'm panicing about do I leave them a few more days to ripen or risk the ground frost that got my chillies last year. All my chillies/peppers are just about to turn.
Just got back from the plot and had a chilli and pepper omlette.  :)

Just want to add all my plants are out on the lottie, no poly tunnel or green house.
