Hi there,
This is my first season growing chillies and so far has gone pretty well! However the weather started off quite well giving off nice hot days but the last two weeks we haven't had the hottest of temperatures around 15-19oC. The plants i have are Bhut Jolokia (Still waiting for fruit) Cayenne, Prairie Fire and fire cracker they all fave fruit but the problem I'm having is their not ripening!
Im not sure what to do, I don't have a green house and was wondering if the lower temperatures prevent the fruits from ripening? any advice would be greatly appreciated.
