Early last summer I bought a tiny chilli plant from Homebase (it was
half-price by then), and potted it up. It soon grew and flowered and
chillied, and I started using the chillies. Every time our daughters
came to visit, I also gave them a bagful of chillies. I used it ever
since, and today I harvested what was left: 210 of useable size, not
counting the tiny ones or those that looked dodgy.

I'd never grown chillies befo are they always this prolific?
