Vegetable Chillies
PLEASE NOTE:
Due to the very large number of pre-orders we have received we have temporarily stopped taking new orders. We will start our mail out on 20th April, and will continue processing the backlog of orders until they are all sent out, which will probably take 3 or 4 weeks. But don’t worry – WE ARE NOT OUT OF PLANTS. We simply want to be sure that we give good customer service with the orders we have. We will return to accepting new orders as soon as we can.

Vegetable chilli plug plants
Plug plants are young plants grown in jiffy-7 pellets. They are sown in January or February, and will be ready for potting on when you receive them.
Vegetable-type chillies are relatively large-fruited and thick-fleshed, and tend to be milder than the spice-type varieties. Because of their bulk, these chillies are used as a vegetable, playing virtually the same culinary role as sweet peppers – they are ideal stuffed with meat, rice or cheese; chopped into salads or salsas; and cooked in stews, stir fries and omelettes.
Ordering:
Ordering is simple; just select what you want – there are no set packages and no minimum number.
All plug plants are £2.50 each, except the superhots which are £3.50 each.
Delivery:
Packages will be sent out by first class post. The package will not fit through most letter boxes, so if necessary leave a note that we can put on the package telling the postman where the package should be left. We will send an email to you when your order is sent so you will know to expect it the next day.
Postage is a flat rate of £5.00
