    Can you post a photo willow.? Do you mean the chillies are about golf ball size? Then I would say you may have Scotch Bonnet chillies there... Can be harvested when green or left to ripen.. Hot & a favourite of the Caribbean... :D

      Sounds a bit large for scotch bonnet at this time of year but I can't think of anything else it could be.

      A photo would be really helpful. :dbgrtmb:

      There will be a number of chilli festivals coming up later in the summer so there may be one near you. They're a nice half day out :thumbsup:
