Well we're doing nicely now. Have several tiny scotch bonnets growing, as well as some Old Mother's (teats... Laughing Laughing ) and the friar's hat is flowering. The Thai Dragon has the most weirdly shaped chillies - seven of them so far - as half of them are curly!

Only annoying thing is that the Jalapeno and cherry bombs, though very quick off the mark, have now stopped setting more fruit so I think it's time to repot them. This despite me hand-pollinating them!

Must get some pics

My chillis are flowering prole-prolfi- have lots of flowers on and some purple chillis. Yay! I potted them on about 3 weeks ago into 5" pots but they're not rootbound, so I think that may be big enough for them - they're about 15" tall and i'm not sure if they'll get any bigger or not. They're really pretty too but I've had to move em into the GH cos ran out of shelf space in the conservatory Very Happy

blimey. We had one of those in some tomato-based curry sauce P made the other day. It may have been frozen for a couple of years, but I still see no reason to back off from calling them the orange nightmares! They do take a while to turn. Worth waiting for if you like having no taste buds for a few hours.

I've found my original list Wards, but not what I had extra of, sorry. Taking into account my vino-befuddled brain, I have a feeling it may have been Aji yellow or Rocotto orange, but don't rely on that!! Sorry. Sad Rolling Eyes
