It was her maiden effort and she sent me a picture of what she grew They were healthy looking green chilies. I have a huge garden and have yet to successfully grow chilies. I am really proud of my friend and I told her she should slowly go for other vegetables.

Mom used to grow green chili peppers along with bell peppers in the garden when I was growing up... She always made sure they were on opposite sides of the garden so they didn't cross-fertilize with each other. That is a nice plant in your photo.

She is so excited - has told the whole world about it I am happy for her That is the joy a gardener gets. A butterfly can do what your Mom tried to stop

@allknowing We had a huge garden back then.. The butterflies didn't cross the two species.

I used to have a variety of chilies in our garden. I do love seeing them bearing fruit before.

@allknowing I am glad that she does not need to buy them in the market.

Yes, these chillies grow very well. I think compare to other vegetables, they are easy to handle. Perhaps the worms are not interested in chillies

But birds love them and they must be protected She is lucky unless she has removed the net before taking the photo
