Allotments 4 All

I'm pleased with the progress mine are making this year.  'Sicily' is about two foot high and hardened off outside.  The rest will be grown on the kitchen windowsill and are pictured below.   :)  G x



Chilli Thai Hot, currently a diminutive 15cm.



Chilli 'Yellow' - variety unknown.  About 35cm tall



Chilli Trifetti, 40cm tall



Chilli Trifetti detail.  Love the flowers and the leaf markings.

Brilliant Chillies Georgie, wish mine were half as good but mine seem really slow this year.

Sinbad

mine have been slow to.  They are about 10 cm now so not big at all

Mine are doing pretty much as yours are Georgie.  Only thing is, I got a pack of mixed chillies, so not too sure what varieties I have.  Should be fun ;D

Just wish. What a year!!

my chillis are still small only at 2nd leaf stage but i was late planting them because of my greenhouse being trashed.

Mine are nothing like those.  Some have 6 leaves on them, but 10cm tall at best.

Also put a few outside before this weekend and I reckon the cold will check their progress for a while.

Some went into greenhouse so won't have felt it so much.

Just found a chilli on one of my Fresno plants!!!

most of my chilli plants are about 6 inches tall but last year i over wintered a demon red on my kitchen windowsill and it is now flowering so will be doing same again with demon red and prairie fire

My Maules Red Hot and Red Ricoto (or Rocoto) chilli varieties are both about 30cm tall. I bought them both because they were supposedly better in shadier conditions, however I doubt I will be putting them outside up here.

The hairy leaved Red Ricoto can be kept as a perennial.

Most of my 120 varieties are flowering about 10 or so have fruit, my over wintered criolla sella is in the lead with full size fruits, waiting the beauties to turn from green to orange.

The trifetti looks like variegata, does it have dark red fruits about 3/4 inch long?

Most of mine are under 3 inches, with some shooting ahead at 8-10 inches.

I think I've got about 90 plants covering 26 varieties.
I'm keeping one of each in the greenhouse and the rest are going on my allotment.

Ours are in the 6-10 leaf stage still, lots for sale at the weekend! Ring of Fire, Habanero, etc.....  ;D

I think so, then they turn purple.  (First time I've grown them.)

You read my mind!  If (when) I get stuck identifying them I think I will have to.

Sorry the photos have taken so long - here they are!

I hope that works!!
The top one should be Fresno and the second should be Chilli Heatwave!

Yes that works.  I've got four tiny fruits at the last count but yours are much bigger.   ;D
