chili plant

Neighbour passed me a few chili plants to try out...

24 Dec 2020 update: I have 3 growing. My neighbour warned me it would attract pests. I have managed to keep them at bay. But the leaves on 2 of the plants are really off.

The 3rd one is looking better.

Flowers have appeared. I hope they survive and get pollinated. 

The 3 plants were planted at the same time, and next to each other. This healthier one gets the most sun, so maybe that's a priority for the next chili plant I try growing. 

31Dec2020 update : the flowers aren't doing well. the petals are all dropping off.


5Jan2021 update: chili!!!!!
I spotted a couple which managed to fruit. There's hope yet.

28 Jan 2021 update: Despite the leaves being yellow, the fruit are doing good

3 Feb 2021 update: Changing colour!
