            Welcome to the forum Banksy, at the times you frequent the allotment, we'll never meet :snork:

            Saying that, I'm sure that we will bump into each other over the summer months when watering is needed more frequently.

            What chillis do you grow ?

            Nathan

                Thanks again for the warm welcome from everyone :biggrin:

                Nathan, this year just a small selection of Habanero's (Chocolate, Orange & Red) I had a bad year last year tried to grow lots of Bhut Jolokia and didnt get any fruit at all. Now I have moved my tunnel and made better beds in it, I'll try a few Habanero's then maybe give a few more varieties a go next year.

                We'll probably bump into each other as I do pop up at other times for watering etc, or for the odd day at weekends.


                Cheers!

                        Shiney, there's still plenty of life in us of the more mature persuasion. We can do pretty much the same as the youngsters, it just takes us a bit longer! :heehee:
