At the end of last season, I pruned back my peppers and left them to see how they would cope through winter.
For quite a while the plants seemed to stand still, but now that spring has arrived and the weather has warmed up considerably, I can say that I am very pleased with the result.
The flowers have all appeared and my first pepper is now forming - and I think it is a chocolate pepper.
As I did not plant any new seeds this season, I am relying on my over wintered plants to give me a decent harvest and as I previously planted different colours, it will be nice to see what appears.
At the beginning of spring, I added more compost to the peppers and now that the flowers and fruits are forming, I have given them some organic fertilizer.
My worm castings will be ready soon and so I shall feed with this too as all the veggies love it.
Peppers like plenty of sunshine and mine receive plenty as they have it for the entire day.
I give them a watering once a day and so far this seems to be working well.
Nice flowers which get pollinated by the wind and insects.
First heirloom pepper forming.
