I am growing Chili and Sweet peppers, got them mixed up..is there an easy way to tell them apart?  They are only about 3 inches high.  Also, on some plants leaves are looking a little "screwed up" on the edges, can anyone suggest why?

Thank you, I am only in my second year of allotment growing and first year of having a greenhouse.

Would not think so, I'm afraid. If you know the varieties, someone who grows them, might recognise them, if peculiar in some respect, when they are a bit bigger, most likely from colouring or flower, a bit of growth habit.

You need pics, when they are older a bit and still might have no luck.

They both require the same basic care and the fruit should be easy to identify.

If in doubt eat one and if it blows your head off it's a chillie. :evil:

at the blow your head off! lol

My peppers are taller, and are flowering at the moment (on my kitchen windowsill). They have BIG leaves sort of love heart shape. The flowers are white and when they are halfway through flowering you can see the green pepper starting to form. a couple of flowers have wilted and the peppers are getting slightly bigger I guess the 'fruit' will tell all

Thanks everyone, it will be fun waiting to see anyway.

Any ideas why they're not growing very fast and why the leaves are a bit shrivelled (they're still very green and no bugs on them)?

They are naturally rather slow growth, as long as you keep them moist and warm and no other bad signs, would not worry about the curling.
