    This year my bell peppers are growing really well. The fruits are so big and heavy that each branch needs a lot support to stop it snapping. I didn't buy any seeds so have no idea of their variety. I sometimes buy sweet peppers from our market during the winter months and if any one tastes very nice I would save a few seeds to grow in the coming season. I've done this for a few years now and so far I find the fruits all come true:)

        Our Shiney Hybrid chillies are really looking good and a lot are being bought as houseplants and not for eating :rolleyespink:. Sold another three yesterday at £3.50 each. All good money for the charity. :dbgrtmb:
