Some months back I bought a chilli seedling, and planted it out. The slaters etc. nearly ate it all while it was still a very young plant, so I put a little cardboard carton around it to protect it from voracious bugs. I’ve been watering it, but nothing else. A few weeks back it had flowers, then some green fruits, and now some red chillies!
This is what I picked off the little plant yesterday, with more to come. Supposedly it’s a hot chilli — I’ll find out tonight with I cook with a couple of them.
