Chillies

I'm a huge fan of chillies. I love eating them, using them in cooking, chilli oil, chilli flakes - you name it, it's in my kitchen.

This year, the good lady and I decided to grow some Apache chillies as shown below:

They turned out really well, and with 4 plants, we've harvested well over 100 chillies. We've got some in the freezer and some in the airing cupboard drying out. They weren't that hard to grow. Rather than attempt to grow from seed, we bought 4 seedlings from the garden centre, with the idea that we'd just get 2-3 strong'uns growing - much to our suprise, they all took and shot up! We've been feeding them with Tomorite, which appears to have helped.

However, this is nothing compared to the results that this bloke has got. With some of his plants nearing 7 ft tall, it's certainly something to aim for next year! Why not check out his blog and go green with envy?
