Allotments 4 All

My peppers are tiny weeny too and growing very slowly. I have never grown them before and don't have a greenhouse but am hoping with the hot summers we seem to be having that they will produce at least some peppers.

They are inside near a windowsil currently. Maybe  i should try and rig up some sort of plastic box/cover type thing to put them under outside during the day??

Any advice appreciated!!

I'll definitely be putting some outside, but I'll probably have half a dozen in the mini-greenhouses as well. We use chillies like mad, and a lot of the ladies at church do as well. I don't think the ones I'm growing now are particularly potent (Joe's Long is definitely mild from what I've read), but if it goes well this time, I might try some more powerful ones next year, under cover.

the ones that survived the mouse have been pretty slow to get going, but this week they have put on a bt more growth and I now have 5/6 leaves, although they are still very small.

But they are huge compared to my aubergines which seem to have gone into hibernation.

peppers are a slow plant,we are so used to having instant everything these days that we forget that some plants take time to grow! patience is the key word.

I had some this year that germinated after 4 weeks - luckily others in the next door cells had come up earlier so I hadn't thrown them all away.
