    Come down south much warmer;)
    Crikey, I keep telling you all, I'm happily married, with most of me own teeth. Look to MrBE for an eligible bachelor.

    I might be stretching the bounds of eligibility a little, but that's what forums are for ;)
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    Have you seen the amount of work I've done in my garden? I'm going nowhere! :rotfl:

    But guests are welcome. ;)
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    Where are you keeping it? I'd like to think it will recover - somewhere warm, light and sheltered is the best bet, I think. I try to keep chillies on the dry side, so easy on the watering for the time being, I think. :undecided



    That one at the back's bread flower. :p

    thank you, put it back in porch and looks bit better :j:j

    oh lord now i know i have been in the sun too long read ''bread flower'' and thought no im sure i know the ones at the back , no hope for me tonight :o:rotfl::rotfl:

    A bunch of flowers. ;)

    I always understood it to mean don't feed until the first truss of tomatoes have formed. May be only pea size but that is always when I start feeding.
    Same with Runner Beans, don't feed before there are beans formed.
    Doh. Why am I telling you that. :eek:

    so basically by feeding my toms before they flower I've killed them? Does the same go for chillis and peppers? If so I'm screwed.

    I dunno about killing them but you don't need to feed them before they set fruit (this is after the first flower drop and you can see the tiny tomato/chilli/pepper)

    And yes, it's the same for chillies and peppers, except they don't need so much water.

    No, you haven't killed them. They'll be ok. Just lay off the feed until there's fruit. :)
