    That idea makes me regret not liberating all the random teas you find of a hotel room Stacey!

    Mine went for PG Tips and I have to say I really seemed to struggle with germination (unlike OL who seemed to have an entire forest of chillis!) Next year I'm going for Yorkshire tea!!

    There were 2 full varieties of mine where none germinated, Mushroom Chillies ( I thInk) and an un-named variety, I think maybe they didn't like the Yorkshire tea image If someone is kind enough to send me some seeds for them next year (image) I think I'll try them in Earl Grey image

    Also - my purple riots are growing nicely but since they're already a dark purple how do I know if they're ready?



    (One chilli willy has appeared - think it must be cold in there!)

    Oooh Stacey - those look fantastic image

    Mine are looking quite good too - I'll have to take some pics when it's light tomorrow 

    How do you tell when the Yellow Banana chillies are ripe?
