I made your excellent recipe again not long ago and it had a similar effect! Not _quite_ as dramatic as last time but still ....... I've been lurking and skim-reading the digests recently. I got fed up with all the TMV and seed desease posts and aggravation. Mainly I haven't posted anything as life has been very hectic. I've got a nice Rendang recipe to post when I've written it up if anyone's interested. My chiles are doing quite well. I'm growing Cayenne, Fresno and Kashmiri chiles this year. They are all outdoors in pots and growbags - I mention that again in case any new UK Chile-Heads think they need a greenhouse before they can grow chiles here. The Cayennes and Fresno are already fruiting. The Kashmiri have the beginnings of flower buds. I've never grown Kashmiri chiles before but they seem to be a longer growing season type of chile. The plants are nowhere near as advanced as the others. Would you agree Brent? Did you grow some in the end? cheers, David The Curry House http://www.curryhouse.co.uk/ recipes, FAQ and articles - all about curry
