BB, its all about the fun and challenge, it would be 18 months before you could harvest anything but its a tenner well spent.
+ points for you is you dont have to worry when you go on holiday about curry leaves and chilli's lol.
Next time you go to your local Curry House, ask them where they get there's, they may even give you some

Hi Phil ive used an insecticide spray, it say's if using on edible fruit do not harvest for three days from spraying, i will not be harvesting these until late summer or even next year when i will prune, the leaves will be washed, dabbed dry, used or frozen. Bham i do mist it and the chilli plants with water containing a drop of Fairy liquid which will then sit on the leaves rather than roll off, bugs dont like wet leaves lol

My plant would be unrecognisable at the mo as i cut a lot back to harvest, and it's sprouting new branches and leaves, it did have berries forming but i removed most as they take energy which i would prefer to go to leaves, so loads are forming, sadly i check it every day and yesterday afternoon discovered about a dozen greenfly.

All that needs to be said is they are not there now, removed and plant sprayed grrrrrrr.

Chilli plants are doing well too

Welcome DJ, enjoy the forum and information on here, for safety reasons please don't disclose which escape tunnel you used

Hi and welcome Robbo, there is no Holy Grail, most of it in my humble opinion is all down to technique, cooking out the spices without burning, keeping up the heat as you cook, ie make sure the base gravy is hot when you add it, cook until the oil seperates, all that stuff will bring you to where you need to be.
Take poppadoms, it was years before i read in Kris Dillons book to place them in a warm oven for 30 mins or longer before serving to allow them to dry out, all the glossy books just said "fry and serve"....."really"

There is a plethora of learning here, enjoy 

I haven

A little while indeed lol, did you buy the citrus feed the Centre sell, ? i got some at the time i bought my plant, i use it on both the curry leaf tree and my lemon tree, I've still got 1/2 the 1 litre bottle left,

Thanks for that Fav, never even dawned on me to eat them raw, their flavour and aroma input to chicken 65 is lovely.
my plant is growing by the day, and on the top is a clutch of berries forming.
