I sewed the seeds back on the 2nd week of February and due to all the cold weather and rain, my chilies were not doing at all well.

However, having bought them into the conservatory just over a week ago, they now seem to be flourishing and I am hoping it's not too late to get fruit from them this year...

A mixture of finger & jalapeno's...

The sky here is usually so overcast nowadays that my outdoor chillies rarely blossom, never mind fruit, but the indoor plants never let me down and always give me a reasonable crop. I keep them on 3 different windowsills. Here's some which are currently on their 3rd summer in the back guest bedroom. They're coming along quite nicely, despite my infrequent watering visits! They are all Mexican varieties of varying heat, although the precise types will forever remain a mystery since my grandson removed the ID tags! :)

Oh yeah! 1.5 million scovilles of heat! The first flowers came through at the weekend which I lovingly pollinated. I'm waiting with bated breath now to see if they fruit.

If I get enough come through I'm going to try and convince Az to run a Trinidad Scorpion Challenge special curry over the summer. Maybe get some T-shirts printed or a Wall of Fame in true Man vs Food style :)

I imagine a certain Curryhell wouldn't be able to resist such a challenge!
