Looking good Andy. I think I'll have a go at some next season but not as many.  :)

Space is becoming a real issue, having to give a few away.
The fun begins when they have to go outdoors!

In my first year of growing chillies, I naively ended up with 1200 seedlings! The following year, I reduced that to 20-odd plants. Still unmanageable! Now I grow around 12 chilli plants each year and I still end up with a surplus!

Nothing special or exotic- in fact, I've cut back from last year as I'm the only one in the household that's keen on a bit of heat in my food! So this year, its Cayenne (2 varieties), Kung Pao, Ring of Fire, Tabasco and Thai Hot.
