had some sun yesterday and sun is out full today as well so they are looking more healthy and the leaves have fattened up a bit now.

update... some basil and some coriander in there as well.

Coming on a little... My jalapenos and haberneros have germinated and sprouted now although I fear it is probably too late for a fruit this year.

Hi Folks,
 Here's a pic of my dorset nagas and hot lemon chillis, they're approx 20 weeks and about 10-11 inches, no sign of them begining to flower yet but it's still real early days for that, they're kept indoors overnight but I let them out during the day to harden them off, so far so good.

I have Thai Dragons that are about 1 or 2 inches long. Is it too late for me to get fruit from them? They are houseplants.

You should get chiles this year as long as you give them plenty of sun and feed them (use tomato feed). You can also put them outside on warm days - but watch out for aphids and other creepy crawlies (and whitefly especially).

Thanks SnS but I don't know how to give them much sun up here in Scotland! ;D Tomato feed you say? How large should Ilet them get before feeding them this? Also I have no access to a garden to put them outside. I'm afraid my poor chili plants are doomed.

Btw, I couldn't germinate the other ones but I really appreciate it nonetheless!

If you're referring to the ones I sent you, the Naga and Habenero's can take up to 45 days to germinate .. you haven't dumped them have you Bobby!!
