This Cooks Garden Carribean Hot Pepper blend was an impulse purchase brought on by the tedium of wheeling a shopping trolley around a supermarket. We bought it in the gloom of the New Year, lured by the promise of the bright, jewel fruit pictured on the packet. We did not expect that the seeds would be mixed. Frustratingly, the varieties are not named on the packet but we think we can identify three varieties in the picture and hope that our limited sowing will produce a plant of each.
This is the first time we've grown chillies and frankly it is already proving disappointing. We regret not planning to plant a more interesting type of chilli, not regular supermarket fare, to make the most of our limited windowsill space.
Perhaps a visit to Spitalfields City Farm is on the books in the hope that they've got something intriguing in their nursery plant sale.
