Well the chillies both settled down well (as far as I can tell). At least they didn't wither and die within the week! I picked my first jalapeno today, but it was probably a little early. For one, the seeds didn't appear to be fully formed and also there wasn't a lot of heat. There were three jalapenos on the plant when I bought it, so the other two will stay on the plant for a few more weeks. The habaneros will turn orange when they're ready, so that will stop me picking them too early.
On a mathematical note, my jalapeno weighed 8 grams - which puts the cost of crop at $1710 / kg. Pricey!
