Sounds like chillis are easy to grow, I might add that to my garden to boost my success rate. I got some mint cuttings from my brother in law, and they really thrive under any conditions, low maintenance perfect for me. I'd like to grow some Thai basil and lemongrass as well, dunno if they will survive here, might set myself a challenge.
How does the mango and pineapple taste? I'd love to grow tropical fruits. But in cold country? Not a chance
Chilli's, really easy. Will grow to the size of a pot so can be kept indoors.
Mangoes we're a bit sharp, most of them got sort of pickled...not sure what she did to make them sweeter and a bit mushy but also had a few raw with salt and sugar.
Pineapples are big and juicy but not particularly sweet. I just planted a couple more tops today, just to keep them going.
I have to say that's its not difficult to grow stuff in a tropical climate. The difficulty is stopping things you don't want from growing!
Hope youre having a lovely weekend :-)
