Interesting point about the seeds. Will give that a go. It is always good to be able to create new plants without having to buy them again!

It's best to do a google on the variety and see what size to expect.

Most chillies will go from green through to red in around 10 to 21 days but some will take a bit longer. Also the longer on the plant the hotter they will become.

If your after seeds for next season then pick your best chilli or two and leave them until they drop, that way you will guarantee yourself the best possible seeds.

Hope this helps.
