Chillies 2021

No problem.

Checked the plants this morning before I went to work. And the PF has some buds close to opening (it seems). Hopefully it was just getting used to my conditions

 

So I got some plants from the same supplier as @Logan
One each of Trinidad Scorpion, Armageddon and Carolina Reaper.
And another 3 milder varieties (can't think of the names offhand)

Was a bit disappointed with the size. They were quite small, and bearing in mind we are approaching the end of June, I not sure there is still time for a decent crop.
But hopefully they will get going quickly in the greenhouse.

 

Today trinidad scorpion 7 pot yellow

 

I have about 5 different plants flowering now

Have noticed that some of my recent acquisitions, which I repotted into bigger pots when I got them, are now putting a lot of growth on instead of flowering.
Was the compost I used too rich ?????

 

I can't remember ever pricking off the growing shoot on chillis before - but this year's lot are almost 50cm tall and not very bushy. Should I now lop them off please?

 

No idea, a friend gave me leftovers.....she's away at the moment so can't ask.

 

Thank you.....good to have knowledgeable back-up to often unreliable instinct.....

 

@JJ28 over the years my plants seem to be shorter and bushy compared to when I started and had a greenhouse full of leaves and some chillies. I think because I don't fuss over them and feed them too much any more is the reason for this. No matter their plant size, the chillies were apparently always as hot/spicy as expected.

 

This cold, damp spell seems to have slowed things down.

But will hopefully get warmer and sunnier from tomorrow.

 

Couldn't agree more , @Sirius. I've had most of my plants basically risking it outside and other than getting pretty bedraggled in the rain I've also had some flowers just drop as I think the night temps were too cold to reliably set fruit. So i'm glad i kept a couple indoors-- they might be in too-little-pots but at least they are warmer!

Did your prairie fire ever flower properly/produce fruit?

 

Or the day after, or maybe the day after that................
......Its one of those summers in my neck of the woods.
