Cultivating your own plants from seed (chillies and coriander)

[Bobby Bhuna]

My dragons are now around 7" high and I've separated them into larger pots and started feeding them. Do you think there is time left for them to fruit this year? I have them in my house on the window sill.

Thanks,

BB.

You've got about 3 months left - so stacks of time. You'll get fruit this year but probably not a lot. Any white flowers yet?

Hi BB,
Don't see why not if they're on a south facing window sill and our Scottish/British weather gets it's act together
Might be real late on in the year though. My birds eyes fruited through-out the winter months last year, albeit only one or two fruits at a time.
Keep 'em warm and look out for the flowers which you might have to pollinate yourself. I use a wee paint brush cos I don't know if they self pollinate or not.
Here's hoping for an Indian summer.

Not yet. Will they die after they fruit?

Not if you keep it indoors over the winter months (min temp 8C)

a few of mine have flowered already. I polinated a day ago and the flowers are starting to wilt now.  ;D

p.s.... do any of you "pinch" your flowers to make them more bushy and less tall? I have one that is just getting higher and higher...

How much bigger will mine be have to be before I'm likely to get flowers? (see the picture in my previous post)
