Chilli diaries

[Nicola_D]

Last year we had a great thread on chilli growing where everyone posted about what they were growing and how and pictures throughout the season, I loved it and it inspired me to grow some different varieties this year. I haven't seen much of the regular posters about so far this year, but thought I'd start a new thread for this year. I gather Stupo, who is well versed in growing chillies is moving (or has moved) and so wouldn't be growing much this season.

Well I have 4 Joe's long F1's which I grew last year and over wintered (by cutting back to one small stem and keeping soil moist all winter) they have sprung back to life. I have also started off 3 tabasco's and 3 'heatwave' but they are not growing very well, I sowed them in mid feb to get a long growing season, and they germinated within a week, but them have not done much. I've just moved them today to a more bright and sunnier position and have fingers crossed.
