Title: chillies and peppers
Post by: gordonsveg on May 31, 2009, 07:39:54
My chillies and peppers dont seem to be growing away at all this year, they are about 3-4" high and seem to have stopped dead, I have even got a couple from the garden center (50p each) to make sure I have some, grown in an unheated G/H.
   Any help or ideas please?. ???

Mine have too, a combination of exhausted compost (need potting up/out) and poorer weather. Getting them into place today and the warm weather should get them going!!  :)

Most of mine have shot up over the past couple of weeks, but one or two varieties haven't grown much at all.

Worry ye not.

Bung them into large pots and watch......

Don't wait for them to get big enough to transplant. They seem to know when they are in big pots and grow better
