While I wasn't paying attention, my chilli plants are doing odd things! 🌶️

One fruit is green and finger-sized, but all the others are tiny and black. Any idea why they're growing so differently?

I got these seeds in a swap from a friend in Germany. The envelope was labelled “Buschpfeffer”.

I need the wisdom of the crowd on this one 😊

Could it be that chilli plants draw a lot of nutrients from the soil, meaning chillies don’t grow as well in the same spot the following year?

If chillies do deplete the soil, what would be good plants to grow there afterwards to help the soil recover?

Any tips welcome — and feel free to boost this so more experienced growers might see it 🌱
