Introducing my 4yr old thai chilli TREE TRUNK. Good productive chillo will see another year

Looks like it overwintered okay. Soil needs some work though but it pulled through.

Nice. Being able to grow the same plants for multiple years is such a good thing - why does everywhere tell you to pull them out and start from new seedlings every year?

I have three plants that survived both last years ongoing deluge and the winter. I think two Jalapenos and a Siam (yellow chilli). I planted out seedlings of four varieties this morning (annaheim, bulgarian carrot, jalapeno and siam) and hopefully they will not burn to a crisp in this sun before they get themselves established.

Yea i dunno. Starting from seed I suppose is pure. The hardcore chilli heads are definitely an odd breed heh.
