Chilli Update

So it turns out the last comment I made in the previous post was a little off: we do have a Bhut Jolokia however it's a little on the small side:
OK, it's a lot on the small side - it should be two to three inches long and it's under an inch but it's ripe. Will taste it tomorrow, should be interesting. In other updates the chilli plants are generally doing well:

These are the Zimbabwe Black, Trinidad Perfume, Bhut Jolokia (top row) and Moruga Scorpion and Joe's Super Long on the bottom row (much taller plants). Here's the whole happy bunch back in their special greenhouse:
Getting to the point where we could do with a "proper" greenhouse (6'x12' stand up in glass house perhaps? Will need a new house to go with it...) and I guess one to grow tomatoes in as well would be useful. Think some of these plants will need to be grown indoors over the winter to get some of the later fruit to ripen. Meanwhile we're getting a couple of cayenne a day which is keeping us going.
