          Blimey Penny,

          That plant is over 2 years old now, but I think the variety is California.

          Although I might be getting mixed up with The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Californication:DOH:

          Harry will know if there is such a variety or if I just dreamed it:D

          They didn't fruit very well last year but have really gone for it this year after re potting & feeding:thumbsup:

            :heehee: Love the Chili Peppers......especially Snow (Hey Oh)....wonder why :scratch::WINK1:

            The plant though looks good, are the peppers very hot, or are they a mild pepper?

            Check your PM's too Zig.:WINK1:

                Looking really good Ziggy; the beetroot looks great and those peppers. I'm growing peppers for the first time this year, must admit I'm a little disappointed at the moment - loads of folwers but no peppers being set??!!

                Hope the onion puts on a few pound for you :thumb:

                Cheers Bilbo,

                I've only got 1 sweet pepper set this year, just turning red, but the plant looks like its on its way out. Pants weather/light conditions I guess.

                Been trying to grow some more plants in the greenhouse, but something keeps nibbling the seedlings off, think there is a batterpillar in the pot somewhere:DOH:

                    It's looking good out there. A different type of fleece and a different type of use for it. Think it's the wrong sort for the plot Ziggy. :heehee:
