Allotments 4 All

I am not quite sure here as to what to expect??

I am having a go at some different types of Chilli & Sweet peppers i.e.

My chilli types are all new to me so I planted them in the tunnel on there own.

With the sweet peppers I have not put all my eggs in the one basket.

Basically what I have done is planted out about  50% of new varieties and 50% tried and tested varieties;

Sweet Peppers; Luteus (banker) the other is Calahonda (not shown here)





Mixed Sweet peppers;



Sweet Pepper-Banana;



Sweet Pepper- Corno de Rosso;



Sweet Pepper- Purple Beauty;



Chilli- Bulgarian Carrot;



I would have taken pictures of another couple of varieties (Red Cherry & Jalapeno) but I run out of memory in my camera.

I also have 3 Habanero growing on, these I grow in 5" pots.

Oh that has given me so much confidence Tee Gee thankyou. I have Luteus and Calahonda from your good self. Mine are outside and are not that much smaller than yours. But then I am in the Midlands, perhaps thats helped with temps.

The chillis from my own saved seed are very slow though, only just in flower ::)

some of my Franchi Seeds 'Corno Rosso'

Tee Gee, I am growing Purple Beauty and Sweet Banana as well. Was amazed that the PB came through almost purple straight away, but they reverted back to dark green on cooking. The SB are now pale yellow - do you think that means that they are ready?

The First at Last!!

Californian Wonder.

I have been picking Soror Sarek from HSL which is a very pale almost white sweet pepper which ripens to orange and a Rubens at the green stage... others coming on nicely!
