Chillies - Apache

i had a couple of chilie plants but the slugs devoured them....

They look lovely.

Your caption says it all, lovely pic. :-)

Sandra, :-(

Thanks for the compliments - I want to try other varieties next year, but I think I'm going to have to invest in small greenhouse!! Mrs. James will be happy - MUCH!

Sandra:

Sorry about your chillie plants, but I've been told that some are hardier than others and less prone to slugs and evil things like that. But I'm still learning, so I don't know all the varieties yet. I need someone out there who's a chillie expert!

Hi Merfyn! Not an expert, just a chilli junkie (or "Chilli Head", to be more correct). Lots of folk here on GOY love growing chillis and sweet peppers. Click on the Featured on chillim pepper" next to this pic, and you'lll find loads of pics and info contributed by members. :-)

Niiiice chiiilleeeeeeeeeeeeeee's you like it hot! curries an stuff ?
good man! chilli peppers give a person a reason to drink hehhehheh!

And I need a reason to drink...............???

Youre a mate already! gud maaan!

arddechog!

oooh I didn't know that slugs ate chilli...the mind boggles!

My chillies have been slug-free luckily. I suppose its a bit of a struggle for the beasties to climb up the side of the containers!

A little birdy told me that tree frogs (who eat caterpillars and slugs) can climb cabbage stalks....I wonder???!!!
