Chilli advice

My Pretty in purple flowered April 10th last year



This year it seems to be a couple of weeks behind, but I sparked them off a month later so that probably accounts for it

Thats nothing - my overwintered ones flowered January and I've been using fully ripe red chillies for the past few weeks 

Not sure, but might have been due to putting it outside in late October as it was infested with greenfly.  Had a mild frost, which killed the pests and the plant survived but obviously got a shock.  Then started new leaf growth pretty soon after.

Will be trying this again this year...
