Allotments 4 All

They DID turn red - it was worth the patience  ;D ;D

Nice!!

You did far better than me.

I had lots of peppers ripen this year. I grew Californian Wonder, Jumbo, Gypsy and Peppadew (this very tall plant is currently indoors and the fruit are ripening slowly - they are lovely). I grew chilli Espanola too, which I have also brought indoors to ripen the remaining fruit. My freezers are full of peppers and chillies this year.

Tomatoes got blight and 5 different varieties of squash did very poorly.

When you reckon that a Pepper can cost between 50p & 80p............!!

What are the small ones at the left hand side Tim? A small variety or just ones that didn't develop fully?
:-\

I know for next year to grow peppers in a MUCH BIGGER POT  ::)

They look gorgeous Lauren, bigger pot........loads of peppers :D

wow, tricia, mine look like that, only green.. ;D
very envious, I only like green peppers cooked  :(

Those look great  :)

I've only a few red ones so far. - may have to resort to running the GH a bit later this year with the anti frost heater on.

Are the round ones on the left Ciliega Piccante (Satan's kiss)?

They look brilliant Tricia - any tips?

My thoughts exactly Rosyred, I am so envious Tricia my peppers and aubergines grown outside at the Lotti were rubbish but theres always next year I'm not ready to give up just yet  ???- so bring on those tips so I can look forward to a better 2008.

Sorry Tricia.....They are yours....lovely they are  ;D

Lauren.....as above ;D

Must take more time with posts!!

Just when my patience was running out mine turn red too. :)

My chilli's turned red on the patio in August. Peppers are still green though. I was wondering how well they'd grow outside at the allotment?

lucky lucky ppl... mine are still green.. the long bendy ones have brownish patches on them... but have had for weeks now! >:(

I've got one red one so far!

Mine didn't take at all, you could say my peppers went to pot.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Tricia, where did you get your Peppadew seeds? I had to scrape what I could out of the pickled ones!

Saddad - the little peppers on the left of the photo are my pride and joy 'Peppadews'. They obviously need lots of warmth because I had to bring them indoors to get them to ripen.
Amazin - a very kind member on another forum sent me some seeds. I'm quite sad too, because my plants were grown in my small GH with all the other peppers I mentioned and apparently peppers cross-pollinate like mad and I'm told that any saved seeds would not come true. I'm going to try to overwinter my two plants so that I have these wonderful little 'peppers with a bite' next year too.

Did your pickled seeds germinate Amazin? I'm gonna save some seeds from my plants anyway - just to see if they do grow anything like the originals.
