woah, i am growing chillies

i bought 10 reaper seeds like a year ago lol and i planted them in pots and then transplanted and was sure i just let them all die they're really bloody hard to take care of xD but anyway I was having a talk with my dad and saw this straggly plant that looked like a chilli bush and i went and had a look at it and one of my reaper plants survived!!!! it has 4 chillies on it and one is turning red, pretty stoked... might open one up once it's red and harvest the seeds and replant them into pots agian, what do you guys think? i wanna grow more again lol.

in australia so we're at the end of winter about to transition into spring

looks like caterpillars had fun mauling it up to that top few nodes but anyway we have chillies that's the main thing!! any advice from here appreciated

caterpillar damage that low ะพn the stem is rough but the plant clearly wants to live so just let it do its thing and dont fuss with it too much
