My vegetable garden is overgrown with nutgrass. I lost that battle.
Now I only have a few chilli plants in pots.

I've only tried the little ones. I forgot what they're called:

I think they're one of the greatest things to grow because the
quality's so much better than the plastic supermarket tomatoes. They
don't grow well here due to the heat and humidity. They get blackspot
and die off. Only cherry tomatoes grow faster than blackspot kills
them.
