Woohoo, my first attempt at growing Chillis and out of the 12 seeds sown, 10 are now growing. We’ve got two types on the grow at present. The Demon Hot ones and others called Capsicum (I think!) which grow up to 20 cm long (gonna look great in the garden!). There’s one seed from each still to appear however seeing as the last two only just showed themselves yesterday I’m still holding out hope that the last two will pop up in the next day or two.
Tomorrow I’ll probably plant up the next batch which are Jalepenos, and get those on the go too.

I love chilli’s. One of my favourite things to do with chilli’s is to slice ‘em up (raw + seeds) into a bowl with plenty of soy sauce, some sugar or honey and a large dashing of sesame oil.
The aroma from the mixture is fantastic and it makes a great dipping sauce for almost any kind of meat.
Mmmmm
I don’t mind a little chilli but I don’t like too much as it just spoils the food. However I am looking forward to the chilli plants lining the garden this year!
I find the above mixture is especially tasty with some steamed rice and roast pork. You don’t lose the other flavours as you might with chilli sauce, but you do work up a sweat!
I’ll give it a try once the chilli’s are growing
