Chilli Delight

Our Chilli bush is going great guns again this year with many big red hotties popping up to spice up life. It is certainly very happy where it is and even more so since we have propped it up a bit more and it has gotten thicker and healthier looking as a result.

Chilli Bush: Big Red & Hot

Chillies like a warm, sunny spot, well drained soil and regular watering during dry weather so we have ours in a pot on the northern side of the deck. It loves it! As Amy said though "It produces well but geez it looks daggy". It is a scrappy looking bush but is happy to plump up some big juicy and bloody hot chillies for us.

As it can get pretty cool where we are, growing it in a pot means that we can bring it well under cover if we expect frost as well.
