I also noticed theses leafs:


I read in me book that leafs go yellow  due to lack of nutrients or nitrogen, is this the case?

Also found this lilttle rascal on them:


Any help and/or comments appreciated.

Don't think they are Thai Dragon.
Their pods tend to grow pendant.
The leaf looks as though it has sun scorch
so would tend not to worry.
As for the purple/black stems that is normal
on quite a lot of variaties.

they are pendulous. Whatever seeds you have been given are doing great though!!!! Just don't prune them like your tomatoes!!!!

If you are going to bring them indoors over winter they will die back a little and get a bit sad looking...but in the springtime I would cut them back by about a third re-pot them and give them a bit of a feed about 6 weeks later and they should be sprouting by then. Feed again when they start getting flowers.

Ok so here`s some pictures of the Chillies after they finally finished growing had a LOAD more but these pictures were taken late in the year:






Hope you like them, me and my mum were very happy with the result as along with the tomatoes lettuce and radishes were my first thing i ever rememeber growing.I got my seeds for these for this season looking forward to growing some more, just got to ask me uncle when i have to sow them,

Well done Carl, They look great. How do they taste?

We might have to wait for an answer until after he finishes drinking a tank of water  

[Steve.P]

oh hot are they?    

[CarlC]

Well done Carl, They look great. How do they taste?

Nice with a pizza or a lasarnya    can`t remember how to spell it.
But they`re REALLY hot, you HAVE to wear gloves with them because they`re so hot, i washed my hand with soap bout 3-4 times and i touched my eye and it stinged so bad that i couldn`t open, waslike it for like 10 mins, was awful.But over than the hotniss they`re freaking gorgeous in pizzas and lasgne and such like.Ive got a craving now, :twisted:  
I highly recommend growing.Don`t need a proper grrenhouse just a cheap little one will do, as long as they`re kept warm/hot, they`re happy.
