Is is still ok to plant chilli seeds or is It too late? Got some ghost chilli seeds need planting

Martyn, try growing whatever you like eating, jalapeño are easy to grow and really tasty.

Hedd-win, ghosts need a long season to get the most from them, you might have missed the boat, but it's worth a shot, worst case is you'll end up with some plants to overwinter and give you a head start next year

So, my chilli update is that I am now neck deep in chillis - this year has been a good year.

 

So, the question is - what to do with all these chillis?

 

Freeze them, dry them, chutney them?

 

I heard of a good one of filling ice cube trays up and freezing them - so when you need some chilli you pop one cube of the tray.

Chilli jam is my missus' latest obsession. I use it instead of marmalade

I was the same last year, 4 apache plants, close to 400 fruits so bagged some up and work colleagues were happy
