Nigel’s Outdoors Chilli

From Nigel Green of Halesworth, Suffolk, this chilli really will tolerate growing outside. We were sceptical, but it does ripen outdoors with no protection even in Wales. The picture is from our back garden- it has ripened properly red despite being swamped by a squash plant.

It makes fat wedge-shaped 2-inch hot green fruit that later ripen to red if we have a hot summer.  They are medium hot, and very sweet, making a fantastic chilli chutney, or we like them sliced on top of pizza.
