No, you didn't pull them out!turbo said:Our summer started out cool and wet, then we went into an extended drought, followed by very wet weather from the remnants of two hurricanes. The plants were very lush and green and were still flowering when I pulled them out (just in time to avoid a hard frost). Still, the chilies never developed the heat that I am used to.
I wonder also if the truck-load of manure that I tilled in last fall gave the chilies too much nitrogen... I wish I could have left them in the ground longer - we're heading into a very warm spell. Currently, it's sunny and 80 deg in the shade, and a week of this might have helped a bit.
