After a few set backs, namely slugs eating some labels, my mates kid water blasting most leaves off a couple plants, and my poor care for the poor buggers ( cause of the terrible leaves and growth was over strength neem oil use... found out after the second lot of applications) here is a belated update.
Everything is going pretty damn good now that the weather has picked up. pretty much all growth has been in the last 3-4 weeks. Got so worried that there was going to be a crop failure that i had to get some back up seeds to start just in case, thanks JolokiaJas.
This is my purple flash, its been great from the get go, did not suffer the abuse like the others because it is "pretty" enough to stay in the house on the windowsill. Have to agree with Mrs Grimus though, when the sun is shining through the bright purple patches, it looks awesome.
This is an attempt at a jalapeno bonchi.

The plants have branched out and become quite bushy, still only about a foot or so tall most of them, but plenty of time left.
