Post by: Georgie on July 10, 2008, 14:40:44

I am growing two Chilli plants on my kitchen windowsill and the first fruits are beginning to ripen. Here's a few pics. :) G x

The first is a yellow Chilli - variety unknown

Well done Georgie, really healthy looking plants.

I have grown 4 plants this year, I cannot imagine why as they should produce 20 times the crop that I need!

LOL. I have four more plants growing outside and I don't need that many Chillies either. But they are such attractive plants in their own right and rather addictive I think. Thank goodness they freeze well. ;D

We have 6 plants outside and 12 plants inside. We can never eat that many chillies either, but I think they are nice plants and easy to give away.

Overwintered and outdoors since the end of May. The only one with fruit - the variety's fruits stay green for a long time. This year's sowing are way behind.

I reckon Chillies must be one of the most difficult plants to photograph! I must have taken half a dozen close ups of 'Trifetti' and this is the best I can do. It really does not do it justice. :( G x
