There are no stupid questions on here Griffete 

You can almost bet that every time you think that, someone else is secretly pleased that you've asked it, and that another person doesn't know the answer!

That would be me :-)

I once visited a place in Chichester called West Dean gardens.

 in there greenhouses they grow loads of chilli peppers, a good day out.

You say you've been growing chilies for years.  Have you ever chitted them and how did it go?

[Griffete]

I have a shoot coming up in the propagator...the chilly's have only been in 6 days
my first ever seed i've grown.... lets se if i can keep it alive

My overwintered Jalepeno is flowering, does anyone know if I should leave them or take them off, I have not had one flower so early before.

Snap!

Attached pic of my overwintered cayenne peppers taken about a week ago, since which time they have more flowers, and I've lopped a couple more stems from the top of the left-hand plant (and yes, that is a nearly-ripe chilli in the top left-hand corner!)

Don't do either of what I say or what I've done, because I have nothing to say, and haven't the foggiest idea whether what I'm doing (not much!) is right or wrong! 

[LilacSandy]

I suppose I cannot go wrong with feeding and seeing what happens.  I already have about 20 new plants germinated so it this one can keep flowing and fruiting for the next few months I should be able to have peppers for nearly 12 months.  I will have to see if I can get the same thing going with my Chilli next year and then aim for Sweet Peppers then world domination.  I think I need to lie down for a while.

[sunshineband]

Don't take the flowers off or you will get no fruit, LilacSandy  Good luck with your plan for world domination 

This year I am attempting

Black Pearl

Hot stuff (cayenne type, different colours)

Hungarian Hot Wax

Cayenne (long red ones)

Sowed them today in modules, which are in the propagator.

Hi guys girls my question is when the chilly seeds have come up how long do you leave them in the heated propagator for before you plant them on ? there about 2" tall

I would put them in 3" pots now, ready to plant out after your last frost.
Alternatively if you have the room you can put them into three gallon pots (I use builders buckets) and move them in and out of doors until the weather improves.

[Griffete]

Thanks for the reply would they be ok in the poly tunnel in pots now ?

[LilacSandy]

Not unless your poly is frost free.
