Ate a slice today when it was almost fully ripe, not experienced with eating chillies but ate a whole Apache F1 recently and that was about 20% of the temperature of the 1cm slice I ate today! Will leave the rest fully ripen now before eating but would love to know what it is just so I know in...

Excellent news, I've tasted a sliver of a very green one a few weeks ago, didn't taste of much but had a burning sensation on the tongue for ten minutes. There were quite a few seeds in it, doesn't look like a Bhut, maybe a Dorset naga? Will be tasting the one in the picture on Monday so will...

I bought these seeds from a reputable garden centre and planted them in November. Aren't they supposed to look like cayenne peppers? I've tasted one and it is VERY hot. While we are at it, I bought a habanero seedling a few months ago and that has grown really well, these look like Habs to...

Excellent news cheers, I've got a cherry tomato plant next to it which is struggling with what I think is a fungus, and I haven't got room to move it away.

Any idea what is wrong with it?

My Pc-1 The other one next to it looks fine but it seems to be growing very slowly

There we are :)

I think ill buy a fungicide as you suggest. Apparently a weak milk solution is a good way to get rid of powdery mildew

At the moment the temp is ranging between 12-17c. Plenty of rain at the moment but I'm trying to leave the greenhouse open as the rain doesn't seem to be coming in in any case. I've pulled the tomato leaves off and sprayed them with a milk/water solution. What do you think about the furry and...

Put some pics up now

It's been very wet recently so ive been closing the greenhouse for long periods which has probably put the humidity through the roof...

Ive got a small plastic greenhouse with ( from left to right) cherry tomato, naga jolokia (the pc-1 not hot version as I recently found out!) and habanero. Ive come accross a few issues and don't really know what if anything is wrong: Is the greenhouse now too crowded? The habanero top leaves...

Morning dew?! They don't get sun till lunchtime and any dew would have evaporated by then 'due' to the warm weather we have had. I have Tomorite for when the chillies start (I have three flowers blossomed at the moment) but currently I just use Miracle-gro all purpose, but I hardly ever feed...

It's not clear from the photos, but there are a few leaves like this, the one in the pic is the worst though.

Pretty unlikely to be honest. If i do spray the plants its usually in the evening when the sun has almost set. The plants dont get any direct sun until around 1pm the next day. The leaves that are damaged were the ones facing the sun at the time, I turned the plant to protect them throughout...
