Lovely, EJ.  Well done you.  So colourful and health looking.  My chillies are smothered in aphids despite repeated hosings and derris dustings.  What's the secret?  And I'm green with envy when it comes to the aubs - my first flower is only just opening, previous buds just dropped off.

your chillis look fab, i picked my first jalepeno about 30 minutes ago! plenty coming on, lots of flowers and my etns are doing great, aswell as the habanero's, will post a pic wehn i get time.

Thanks everyone. The Aubs are later this year due to our holiday and the plants being huddled together in the deep shade of our willow tree. However, now they are back in the light, they are covered in flowers and all plants have at least 2 small fruits. The chillis have been producing ripe peppers for ages now-the overwintered ones for monthes! I have already frozen a bag full of ripe chillis and made 2Ib of chilli jam!

Sleep Lorna.....what's that?  ;)
Aqui, they are just as good green in my opinion. I pick them as I need them regardless of size or colour!

Emma - you do put us all in the shade - I couldn't hope to achieve what you do.

Keep showing what is possible between children/husband/shopping/posting..........?

PS Galina is a bit of a disappointment in flavour?

[spacehopper]

Wow! I'll definitely be trying to grow some when we get a greenhouse up.
