Our Gardening Angel Paul is sowing 5 of our favourite chilli varieties - Fresno Supreme, Ring of Fire, Portugal, Hungarian Black and Joe's Long and we just cant wait to see the results.

These chilli seeds will germinate in our Vitopod Heated Propagator and in 3 to 4 weeks times our chilli plants will be ready to be pricked out into small pots. Once our chilli plants have rooted through, we will be able to transfer them into one of our Chilligrow planters, where we can look forward to producing a bumper chilli harvest.

We know that Joe's Long chillies should be - well...long, but this one takes the biscuit at a whopping 33cms. We've checked the World Records and there is no listing for the longest chilli, so we've submitted and entry - fingers crossed.

The prized chilli is growing in a Hydrogrow NFT in our greenhouse and we're under strict instructions not to allow visitors to pick it. We'll keep you posted on how we get on with the record.
