NOSFERATU chilli has produced a mass of fiery fangs, although I have a second plant that has not produced any fruits yet.
I have a second ROCOTO chilli that is now producing all-identical fruits. A third plant had to be hand pollinated as it has refused to set fruit, even though it is my biggest plant of the three. I think it didn't like the position in front of the tomatoes and the bees might have struggled to find it. That's also been an issue with a few other chillies on the patio.
The SHABU SHABU chilli is truly magnificent and I can hardly believe I've grown it outside since early May this year. It's awash with viscious looking chillies, now orange, which will hopefully redden.
An unknown chilli, possibly RING OF FIRE has put out several impressive fruits, definitely a chutney in the making there!
A late addition to the chilli collection were these three plants rescued from the discount shelf at B&Q. 50p each, so didn't waste the opportunity: a THAI chilli, a PAPER LANTERN and a JALAPEÑO. There's only one fruit on the latter, so not great value for money, but I hadn't sown any others this year.
A late bloomer is now full of fruits: PEITO DE MOÇA. It has a rangy growth habit and is the tallest of all my chillies. The first fruits to appear came from an offshoot near the base, but within the last week, there are now maybe 50 or more fruits coming. An interesting shape!
Other chillies are doing very well, I am regularly picking Joe's Long but none of those have reddened yet, and my Padron chillies are packing a lot of heat this year.
