The 2015 Chilli Thread

My chillies seem to be producing well, more than enough really.
One problem though is I've noticed greenfly.
I've wiped the leaves top and under to smear them off and scooped as many as I can off the soil but they seem to return the next day.
So have sprayed them with water diluted with fairy but not sure how strong to make it, I made it with a couple of drops to a pint. Outdoors I use a fair squirt to about 1 pint of water, what do you recommend for indoor grown plants? Not sure why I think the ratio should be different but ...
Anyone got a dilution ratio that works and doesn't damage the plant?

I put a glug in and it made the leaves go dry and brown up, so don't go too silly!
Put out a container of water and go out catching ladybugs?

 

Chilli poppers! This is what happens to must of our chillies... That and cheese on toast mmm

Grab chillies, soft cheese, mozzarella, Serrano ham, or any thin ham.



Slice chillies in half and stuff with soft cheese and mozzarella



Wrap in ham ( use as much or as little as you want) and grill until your preferred state of cooked!



Then enjoy!

 

I had one of shiney's 'Hybrids' (first one) yesterday, in a beef chilli. Was nicely warm. I've been here before, and it'll probably end in tears as the season progresses

 

If I grew them they would probably be just as mild! The little white ones are...

Which is strange as that's actually a hot hot chilli! Still flummoxed about my non spicy chillies this year!

 

Wish i'd entered the one on the left at the show, might have got a 3rd for it

 

My Tokyo Hot chillies (cayenne type )are producing very well now . Thin fairly hot Chillies , 25000 scoville , about 5" long . Very pleased with it - I'll grow them again next year

 

Im getting one or two pods, but still got a long way to go:

--
Bhut Jolokia is getting there - should be a good harvest:

--
and the aji limon is really doings its thing:

--
So just need a bit more sun please !

 

How big are the marrows in that show? (thought about bringing one to offset fuel costs of a trip that way).

 

Didn't see em

 

A question for the chilli smart here.
I can't decide what is going on with my chilli plants this year!
Finally they are starting to get some heat to them, they have all been like peppers (bar the white buht jokolias... they have gone properly hot!)
And! They are all growing like giants, every chilli just seems to be massive, i have big hands, bigger than the "large" gloves you can get for gardening, latex ones etc.

Chaianne...

Then hungarian hot wax and jalapeno



And another Chaianne.



Not complaining, i want them to do this again next year, they are beautiful to eat with lots of different meals!

And the white buht jokila's
Love the taste, love the smell, love the plant, growing this one again next year.

the only plant to get spicy and the correct size this year too!
