I have grown some of these from seed - and when I saw Sue and Clare for lunch I gave them a plant each...mine has flowers on it now....so wondered how they were going?
Anyone else growing them?

My uncle gave me an established one a while back, it seems to have gone real limp.  I have some coming up from seed though, slowly but surely.  Calv.

Well despite mine being completely horizontal when I got it home it is doing fine and is about a foot high. Not quite flowering yet, but has buds. I do have to pick the odd greenfly off it, but other than that it seems fine.

We have one, never tried growing them before but thought it worth a go as we all enjoy peppers.
It is still only about a foot tall, very compact with loads of leaves. It has some buds on but thats all so far. I will keep an eye out for green/ black fly. Thank you.

Mine is about 45cm now and has quite a lot of flowers at various stages. Chilli/pepper plants need feeding once a week to get good fruit - a seaweed extract-based feed is ideal, or tomorite if you have it for your tomatoes. Hope we get lots of hot chillis!  _________________ Clare

I have just potted mine on into big pots - must give them a feed too, they have lots of flowers and a few small fruits now.

we will have to take photos and compare. Mine have been in the conservatory - but have put them out for the last week, will bring them back in in a few weeks ago.

We are also trying brocolli sprouts this year too, not sure about them either! All trial and error!  _________________ Adele. http://www.dillydallydingle.blogspot.comStampin Up! Demonstrator for Medway, Kent and wherever life takes me!
