Chilli plant

Hi,
I've grown this from seed (Capsicum prairie fire F1) but it was very slow to develop, I'm sure the packet said harvest from July onwards... anyway, this is what it looks like today. Any idea what I could do to encourage the chillies to grow, like cut the leaves or something? Thanks for your advice. :confused:

Hi fiwi, I have never grown that variety before but I do know that all my chilli plants are quite slow this year. I do take some of the leaves of my plants when it gets a bit busy but your plant looks great and has plenty flowers, I would personaly leave it another couple of weeks and see what happens. Hope this is of some help

 

Thanks dalbuie, I'll have to be patient then... :rolleyes: fiwi
