Apache Chilli Seeds

"Compact plant, does well on windowsills".

Great, I thought. Nice plants to have in a small flat, I can have some greenery around the place plus I get to eat the results. Win-win!

Purchase seeds, pots, fertiliser, compost etc. Little green shoots pop up .... oooh, exciting! Little green plants grow into bigger plants, move them all into bigger pots, now have nice row of plants on windowsill.

Er, are they supposed to be that big? And they're still growing.

And growing.

And growing.

Then the first chillis started to appear. By this stage the plants themselves were five feet tall and had to be held up with bits of string round the curtain rails but, hey, chillis!

I had to give a friend directions to my flat. "Oh," she said, "You're the one with the indoor hedge."
The landlady came to inspect my indoor hedge to confirm it wasn't an illegal hedge. I offered her some fresh chillis to take with her. She looked extremely alarmed and ran away.
Actually, that seemed to be most people's reaction. Which was a shame, because I did end up with an awful lot of chillis ...

I purchased these seeds a year ago. I have 13 plants out of them and most of them have flowers and/or fruit.

Good seeds at a good price

Bought 1 packet and planted a single seed. Nine days later first shoot appeared and then 2 months later....

Sowed 12 seeds and 11 of them have germinated, and they germinated fast!

Obviously it's only a few weeks in but it's looking promising.
