Wonderful! The only red ones I have are on 'your' Bangladeshi - I shall save the seeds from the first one I pick.

I'll give some to my daughter and freeze the rest.

Next year I will grow them either in very big pots, or in a greenhouse border.  They definitely do much better with more compost to grow in.

Most of the chillies I grew this year only get to about 12 - 15 inches in height so have done ok in pots, but yes I think larger pots next year, or perhaps half and half to compare.

Not sure, maybe about six or seven.  I still have plenty left to pick, they have done really well this year.
