Easy on the electrical bill. I used to grow african violets under this type of lighting and the results were spectacular.Rustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15016141887399309190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660190282609189517.post-25939812216391847412010-08-12T22:02:08.157+01:002010-08-12T22:02:08.157+01:00Thanks for all your comments.

Mine are in the greenhouse looking quite stunted and unripenable. It's pouring today here so I can't even work up enthusiasm to look at them.

Unless we get a bout of sustained sunshine, your pods are unlikely to ripen fully but you can still use them, although they won't be as hot as a mature pod. There's lots of info on the web - try this one: http://www.selfsufficientish.com/chilipepper.htm<br />Carolyn x<br />(PS. apologies if this appears twice, I'm having a problem commenting on Blogger blogs!)Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11317388242574705433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660190282609189517.post-2977244865009449872010-08-10T11:58:43.540+01:002010-08-10T11:58:43.540+01:00Hi I have just come across this blog and I really ...Hi I have just come across this blog and I really like it.
