That's cool. I'm trying to grow peppers indoor right now and so far the seedlings are doing okay. I hope I can get a result like yours one day.
Out of curiosity, what made you choose these crops in particular to grow?
I try and grow what I eat, I keep expanding my garden and I'd like to eventually have most of my food come from there. I also cook allot for distros and am given reclaimed/dumpstered veggies in bulk at random times so allot of herbs, chilis, onions, garlic is a safe bet to be able to put tasty meals together. I'll end up canning allot of tomatoes this season and using them in the fall as well.
Any tips on growing chilis as potted plants? I've got a couple that have grown well, and bloom intermittently, but don't seem to make fruit.
So I've definitely had success growing chilis in pots and containers but the key is having an incredibly healthy nutrient rich soil to get them to fruit. I'd also check your growing zone and maybe try starting them indoors so you can lengthen your growing cycle they need allot of light and heat for longer. I'd need more information to be more specific than that.
Thanks for the tips! It's really hot and sunny here, so I think I'll try fertilizing a bit more to see if that triggers anything!
If that's the case I'd be willing to bet they need nutrients!
Thanks!
