Chili pepper : Demon Red

Spain

Out of eight seeds from a T&M packet (well in date) only one germinated and gave me a lovely bushy plant 6" high. I kept it in a plastic greenhouse for most of the time but stood it out when the sun shone. I now have loads of chilis, some beginning to turn red, but they are only 1" long and about the thickness of a matchstick. Is this correct or have I done something silly along the way?

After looking at a UK site that sells this variety, the plants will be small and compact with upright fruits of 5-6 cm long and .5 cm in diameter. It also says that on a 1-10 scale of hotness it ranks 9-10. Sounds like you did just right and will have some HOT peppers.
