[esbo]

I am so impressed with mine are it is so far ahead of the others7 chillies as long as my finger whilst the rest have nothing, basically just flowers.
I think it being in the sunniest spot help in that.

Picked this little lot yesterday... Nigella's Chilli Jam here I come!

[Scarlet]

I picked these yesterday. I'll be getting the jam pan out soon as well!

I planted my chillies quite late and 1 flower just opened and many more to come, haven't grown these in like 8 odd years do you have to do anything special like hand pollinate like courgettes or leave them be.

Can't wait to actually see fruit tho ,

A little gentle misting can help with fertility.

Numex Twilight, Esplendor, Ghost, Thai Hybrid, Moruga Scorpion and Apache.

They're mainly 'Facing Heaven' from a plant I overwintered last year but I did manage to include a couple of cayenne from a plant I started early this year!

My chilies were rather rubbish this year and I couldn't work out why. Then I saw my Labrador cocking this leg up them. Next year I'll put them out of piddle range.

Perhaps he thought you were neglecting watering them and he thought he would give you a helping hand

His piddle is full of good stuff, natural fertiliser, the liquid fertiliser costing you £10 a litre at the garden centre is probably just bottled dog piddle
