As you can see from the photos, my overwintered chillis and sweet peppers are already covered in flowers and the first tiny peppers are showing themselves!

This chillis is called 'Hanoi Market'.  The plants have been kept in my conservatory throughout the winter, and as soon as their is room in my greenhouse, they will move up there.  They have had a touch of greenfly and whitefly, but I have treated as necessary.  I cut them quite hard back midwinter and have been rewarded with lots of bushy new growth.

Pretty amazing?

I can't seem to over-winter my Chillis but this is a pic of one I grew from seed sown in mid February and it's already coming into bud, even though it's only in a 3 inch pot!  I'm misting daily to try and avoid the dreaded red spider mite.
