Hot chilli peppers.

leave them to get on with it - just the usual watering and feeding 

Yep mine have been outside for 2 months just watering and feeding weekly with the tomatoes.

There are 10 or so chillis already coming so going to have plenty extra to string a dry

I didn't even know you could grow them outside, can you tell I am really new to growing,,,I only put tomatoes outside as I had no more room in the greenhouse.  Got toms to the roof in there and cucumber,,, well I don't know what to do with them.  Happy growing eh??

Some chillies are more "hardy" than others.  A few years back I had too many plants in the greenhouse so something had to go outside - as it so happens, I chose the Hungarian Hot Wax.  It was a wet miserable summer and I started to regret it, but do you know, they were a lot more productive than the ones I'd left in the greenhouse 

Re: cucumber ... did you know you can grow them outdoors too?  There are hardy outdoor types like Marketmore, but I've also had Telegraph, Crystal Lemon, gherkin and White Cucumber outside and they have all been fine (even last year) 

My scotch bonnet is doing o.k so far outside, just starting to show the flower buds  and i have a mini white cuke outside thats going mad, loads of flower and swelling cukes
