    Hi all,
    My name is Simon and I am based in Middlesex. I recently bought three chilli plants, not knowing what type of chilli they were. They have since began to fruit and it has inspired me to grow more at home.

    I have just sown bitter melon, coriander and lemon grass seeds. All of which I am still waiting to sprout. Fingers crossed!

      :sign0016: to GC @Eco Simon lovely to have you join us :)

      I'm not a chilli grower, but maybe one of our other members will be able to identify them for you (you could post a separate thread on the Identification Area of the forum if you wished to).

      Good luck with your sowings :dbgrtmb:

      Looking forward to getting to know you around the forums :)

        Welcome to GC. :dbgrtmb:

        I don't think it will be easy to identify the chillies as there are over 2,000 varieties. :noidea:
