Vegetable Chillies
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 chilli plug plants
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.
