Recently got myself a new chilli plant, a variety of Dwarf Chilli called "Apache". It's listed as Capsicum Annum, though I think it might be Capsicum Frutescens (both types of plant grow close to each other).
So far, it's growing well, with thumb-sized fruits that BURN Like a DEAR GOD NO death pain hellfire kiln furnace. Seriously, they're small, but goddamn, they're so hot it's delightful.
Plump little blooms, too. Anyway. Does anyone have any advice on growing Chillis? Especially getting either the individual fruits larger or the entire plant to give a larger yield; I love my little chilli plant, but right now I don't want to pick his budding fruits because I don't want to use them up.
Oh, and a funny thing: In taste-tests with Jalapenos, also fresh (friend's garden), five people have agreed my Apache is hotter- when it's meant to be more gentle than the Jalapeno. I'm not sure why this is: anyone got any ideas?
Edit: Silly me. My Chillis are thumb-sized at the biggest. Of course they're on fire. Small = Hot.
