Wonderful crop Duke! My GH was completely inundated with white fly this year and some sort of caterpillar decimated the foliage on some chilli varieties, so my crop is not good - except for the Espanola (which is hotter than I expected!).

They've done really well, brilliantly in fact!

Your Scotch Bonnets look fantastic, did you grow them from seed this year?  I found that mine were so slow to start growing that I gave up on them and put them outside, where they are still growing but very slowly. No sign of flowers so they might end up on the compost heap.

Ooooo those are looking great! strangely enough this year my chillies look like they are doing well, lots of flowers early on, lots of fruit, that is now starting to ripen - unlike my tomatoes  :-X

Thanks all :)

Squash 64- I started all of the peppers from seed during the last week of February. The Scotch Bonnets were the slowest to germinate and they were very very slow to get going after germination. I did try to overwinter last years scotchbonnet plant but it died just before christmas. :( It was on a sunny window sill indoors but I think the night time temps were just too cold. My dad managed to keep his chilli plant alive for four years indoors. I dont have the knack.

these are lovely! I've grown all mine outdoors in a "hotspot" and am getting nice chillis but quite small peppers. Think Peppers will be one of those things I leave to fram shop next year and increase my chillis.
