Peppers and chillies

I don't know too much about peppers myself but my flatmate grew a few plants indoors this year and he pollinated them using a fine tipped paintbrush.  It must have worked as he grew some big ol' chillies to show for his efforts.

as said, a little tap or wiggle will pollinate, but if left they will drop off on their own - it happened to me earlier in the year before I realised I had to teach them to dance!

Ive posted quite a few times on chillies.  Its the one thing I seem good at!

I overwintered one from last year and its now got its third flower flush since Thewordwemustnotsay.  had two great crops already.  Others sown February are on their second flush, and some big chillies already growing, despite a big harvest early August.

They are all in relatively small pots on sunny south facing windows.  Minimal feeding and water.  Hand polinated (and I mean hand - I just use my finger and poke gently into each flower a couple of times!).

Works for me
