This year I am growing four varieties of Chillies: a yellow one (variety unknown - I've been growing it from saved seed for a few years and the original came from a shop bought fruit), Thai Hot (small upright fruits), Trifetti (purple fruits) and Sicily (long red fruits and pictured here).
They were all sown in early February but it's interesting to see how they develop at different rates. Sicily is by far the biggest at about 9" tall and I've just potted it on into 5" pots. The yellow and Trifetti are about 5" tall and Thai Hot is only a couple of inches tall at the moment. All are thankfully looking healthy but I'll start spraying them with tepid water every night now to keep the dreaded red spider mite at bay.
