nic's Chili Pepper 'Prairie Fire' x 1
Plant: Chili pepper (Capsicum annuum longum group) | Variety: Prairie Fire

- 2
Planted from seed (Thompson & Morgan) straight into a propagator – and pretty much all of them sprouted and grew. Due to a complete inability to throw away any plant that I seem to have had success with, I now have way to many of these little plants around the place! (If anyone wants one, let me know!)

I wish my chillis looked as healthy as that one! They are looking exceptionally sad this year. I am blaming a lack of warm sun.
