    Hi,

    I'm new to growing anything and I could do with a little advice on growing chillis.

    I'm growing a few plants on my windowsill and oone in a plastic growhouse, all of which are flowering. On the more mature plants the flowers are starting to drop off but no fruit has started to appear. Should the fruit appear now or at some later stage?

    Thank you.

    The fruit will appear from whence the flowers have finished. Assuming your blooms have not 'dropped off' too soon! Did the blooms open fully and finish naturally if so there shouldn't be a problem. Good Luck.

    Thanks Moyra. The flowers that dropped off had been open for a while so it sounds promising.
