The two varieties of chilli plants are doing well, the Al Benito's are growing in height and the smaller Spike plants are getting bushy. All are starting to get flowers and Im watering/feeding them with Chilli Focus roughly once a week, 10ml : 1L water. There's a few tomato plants there too..
Lovely neat green house, especially the matching pots
Well spotted. I acquired about 20 of those pots a few years ago, I normally use them for tomatoes but I've never used more that half a dozen at a time until deciding to grow chillis this year. All the seeds germinated and decided to keep then all seeing as I had enough pots. Black saucers to match would be better but Wilko only had grey!
I have greenhouse envy, @LeadFarmer. It's all looking great and very well cared for. I'm sure your plants will produce an abundance of chillies, just as Mother Nature intended.
Not sure that Mother Nature intended chillies to grow in the UK; nor tomatoes, potatoes or aubergines for that matter … but given a helping hand or two they will … Mother Nature … as with most mothers … is surprisingly adaptable 💚

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

It's lovely when a new project turns out so well. You'll be curry daft this winter
The good thing about chillis is that they're small, so it's easier to keep/store them too if you have too many, regardless of which way you do it.
