Chillis and tomatoes were one of my favorite as they do not require any special care and flowered early. Regards, Mani.

Next time try to select healthy seeds from the dried chilli pods and put the seeds in sunlight. You can put some seeds in water and the ones which are healthy will go down and which are not healthy will float on the water. I have tried to grow the plant from the chillies from Mumbai market and was successful. Regards, Mani.

They are quite bushy and healthy, specially after the rains, with lots of flowers, which happened last year too, but chillie output has been/is almost zero. I would very much appreciate advice on what the reason might be and how I may have the flowers come to fruition. I apologise if this is not the right forum to ask such a question. Many thanks.
