  • I've finally got a small white flower on one of my pepper plants. :j
  • Yay- got my first baby pepper as well!
  • Yay for you Monkey!

    mis_corrupted... If all my peppers grow, I will send you a couple so your boyfriend doesn't have to do without. I shall have way too many to eat myself with any luck.

    Congratulations Kat! It's exciting isn't it?

    It's also odd... I have over 500 flowers on each one of my tomato plants and plenty of baby fruit, but I was so excited over one baby pepper (now four) and the first of my chillis growing fruit that I didn't stop grinning for hours! :rotfl:

    ~Chameleon~ : Thanks for the website on blossom end rot - looks like that was the problem. Have bookmarked this for future use.

    tomsolomon instead of shouting give more details.

    Are your plants inside or outside?

    Is the entire pepper missing or are there holes in it?
    I'm not cynical I'm realistic :p

    Hi everyone

    Just a quick piccy of a couple of my pepper/chilli plants.... think you will need to click on the picture to see them:p
    I have fetched 5 red chillies off so far... and the pointy yellow/green pepper was quite a surprise :T there is another small one on now and a few more flowers..
    I seem to be doing ok on the pepper front so far...plenty of other flowers too.. i have one in a pot on its own and that is doing even better :T fingers crossed they all survive

    They look great MrsM :T

    I had 6 lovely big green peppers on my plants but unfortunately had to remove 4 of them as they got blossom end rot :( I'm hoping the rest will be ok and there are still some flowers but I'm not confident they will amount to very much at this time of year but we'll see.

    Can I also ask how you get the clickable picture on imageshack please? I always seem to have problems trying to get imageshack to work as it frequently times out during upload, but even when I have managed it I don't seem to get a clickable picture. I've been selecting the "resize for web/email pages" option so not sure if that makes a difference :confused:
