Local business Pudsey Pickles are sponsoring the contest
What Lee and Daryl of Pudsey Pickles don't know about chillies isn't worth knowing.
They handcraft a delicious selection of relishes, sauces and pickles to sell at farmers markets, exhibitions, in delicatessens - even at the Spring Show.
They're looking forward to seeing - and judging - the results of your endeavours at the Summer Shown in September.
Easy to grow
Your kit should produce a profusion of medium-hot chillies by the end of the summer
We've specially selected the variety for easy growing by first timers.
- "Basket of Fire" germinates well
- The plant grows fast with little effort
- And it produces loads of multi coloured chillies that get hotter as they turn from green to red.
How much are chillies in the shops? Your own plant will produce quite a crop of fresh chillies on your kitchen windowsill.
