Hey Emma, those chocolate chilli seeds you gave me are doing great! But, me being the babe in the woods that I am when it comes to this sort of thing, could you tell me how big the fruit should get, and do they actually go brown?? I can't find a pic of them anywhere, and a couple are starting to go a bit shrivelly.
Cheers,
Amanda

Blimey yours are well ahead of mine! I was obviously very slow of the mark this year and the fruits are only just developing. Last year the chillis ranged from cherry size right up to slightly bigger than golf ball size - and a few almost like tennis balls! :o By the end of summer they were all browning up nicely, some more of a maroon, some chocolate brown, some blew our heads off and some were slightly milder, but they looked great in a bowl! Hope this helps.

Thanks Emma. I've only 4 or 5 so far, all still green, and the couple that have gone shrivelly I think I'll take off. Can't wait to see 'em brown up. :D
