Hello Ian, I did exactly that with a couple of my sweet peppers plants now setting in the allotment shed (in front of a window), I also have some small ones at home which didn't grow much this year so hopefully they will do better next year, thank you for the useful tips. Sam
@@samuelbarvet2641 I overwintered my Scarlet Varigated as it’s such a slow grower. Also the Jalapeño x Tiger as I can’t get anymore seed so needed to have a good plant from which to get fruits and my own seed. Last winter I didn’t have a lot of space either as I kept hold of more Dahlia tubers than usual. Hope you’re enjoying the weekend 🌸🌼🌶️
@@samuelbarvet2641 sound interesting. I have a set of lights but never really use them. You’ll have to let me know how much difference the lights make.
I’m going to try and overwinter mine this year Ian. I’ve got to say they did great with the plant size but I was a bit disappointed with some of the fruits on them, particularly the cayenne. It just never turned red as I was led to believe they would. Maybe it’ll do better next year.
@@Tea_and_thyme_2012 Hi Deb. You should definitely have a go at overwintering your peppers. For your first year I would suggest moving a few extra plants into the protected space as you will probably have a couple of failures, normally due to overwatering 😄 We just didn’t have that warm autumn that we normally get so the peppers haven’t had the time to ripen properly. Unusual that the Cayennes have struggled as they are normally very reliable. Enjoy your Sunday 🌶️🌻
@@diyhomeandgardening thanks Ian I really do appreciate your help and advice with everything. I’m learning quite a lot via your channel. I don’t suppose you know how to prune unruly Goat Willow little trees. I bought two a couple of years ago and to say they’re unruly is an understatement!!
@@Tea_and_thyme_2012 Glad to be of help. To prune any Willow trees it is best done in winter once the leaves have dropped and trees go into dormancy. Same method for any pruning. Remove no more than a third of overall volume. Start by removing any dead, diseased or damaged branches of which there are normally quite a few on a Willow tree. After that remove sections that cross through the middle of the tree. I would then decide whether it is the height or width that most needs to be controlled, pruning accordingly. If the tree is in the wrong place or not easy to maintain then don’t feel that you need to keep it. Thanks again for your support ❤️🌻

I forgot to also mention that I am growing some dwarf chili peppers called Hot Roxi under Led lights, I will be using these indoor as orenmant plants.

@@diyhomeandgardening Thanks Ian I’ll do that. It’s the width I’m not happy about so will prune accordingly.
@@Tea_and_thyme_2012 Have fun 😄🌳
