I love hot chillies. Bird's Eye Chillies, also known as 'Cili Padi' locally are easily planted from seeds.
I am contented eating just two of these bird's eyes chillies with fried rice as they are very hot. The rest of the harvest were given to my neighbours.

Bird's Eye Chillies are usually thin and elongated. But some are oval?
Actually I planted tomato and chilli in the same pot.
The chilli plant act as a support for the tomato's soft stem and probably scare away some bugs too.

This is my gardening style.
I water 3 plants at one go.
Chillies, tomatoes and rose will all be RED, so there is consistency in colour.
They probably absorb different nutrients from the soil.
The tomato plant is supported by the chilli plant.
Save soil, save water, save fertilizer, save effort.
I have planted many varieties of chillies. Hope to be able to share those in the future.
