Love my chilli plants, loads from last year died in the frost though

I do as well.
I just haven`t this year.
I normally just make a birds-eye batch extra strong.
With some curry poweder.
Nice curry, heat goodness.

We got given a couple by Wahaca last year because my housemate was designing their restaurant in Soho... our garden clearly doesn't get enough sun for chillis... grew TWO (one fruit on each plant!) and then died as soon as Autumn took hold!

I tried last year and failed miserably, probably because I just threw some seeds on the lawn and hoped for the best! Had some ace bushes going in Greece though, got loads and loads of fresh shizzle! Don't know what they were though, they were quite long and tapered...

I didn't think I did... not intentionally. I believe a while back I went through and deleted real names I didn't recognize. Besides, you getting fraped so often its likely there was some confusion. send another! facebook.com/buttjolokia
