Hi everyone, I sowed my sweet peppers a bit late and although I've got some lovely big peppers they are showing no signs of going red. They are in my polytunnel (unheated) but I'm assuming they need more sunshine which looks as if it'll be in short supply now. I wondered if there were any tips or if I should give up and eat them green? Also I've read that pepers are biannual, so I was hoping to get a head start and keep them for next year. I've overwintered chilli peppers before

This year I've been totaly pesticide free, in the past I've sprayed and then regreted it. I also planted lots of marigolds too, although they haven't flowered yet so I doubt it could

Thanks Boggy. To be honest that was might first thought too, but I put them out last week and I think it must have still been a bit cold as they looked very sorry for themselves and I ended up bring them back in. Then I started looking on the web and saw lots of photos of plants suffering from mosaic virus and got a bit conserned. Poor plants. I think I'll hang on a couple more weeks before planting any more and put them straight into the polytunnel once its warmer. Could it also be a problem
