                    Are you going to blow the East Coast off the face of England???? :yikes: :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

                    They're looking very good :blue thumb:



                    The Shiney Hybrids are always an early plant :dbgrtmb:. You can eat them red or green (or any colour in between) and with feeding and watering they should keep flowering and fruiting for a few months yet. The red ones dry easily by just spreading them on some kitchen paper and leaving them indoors (in the dry) in sunshine. :)

                      What an amazing display Nathan. Never seen so many chillies....:phew:
                      Do they self pollinate or do insects visit them?

                            Yes, chilli's self pollinate hence the bags over unopened flowers, so I have seed stock for next year :)

                              Now I'm home, I will also add that I am going to try a few crosses of different chillis, I have an idea for one already, so we'll see how it starts out next year.
