Chillies are so easy to grow...........



I've managed to grow loads of red and green chillies in the greenhouse this summer, something I've never grown before. I've also got a huge crop of cherry tomatoes at the minute on my tumbling tomato plant. Not sure if it's warm enough for them to rippen in the greenhouse so I might need to bring them in to the house to finish them off, we'll see. I've had about half a dozen so far that have rippened but that was a few weeks ago. I have to admit I did cheat a bit as both the plants came from Dobbies in Perth! We were a bit late in getting the greenhouse cleared out, it had a huge grape vine in it and loads of spiders and cobwebs. I use the term "we" very loosely - Gregg cleaned it out, I wouldn't got near all those cobwebs and spiders! I just stood outside shouting that he'd missed a bit every now and then!!!!
