Latest post from MARKSVEGPLOT – a blog about food and gardening in England”

The fruits on my little Scotch Bonnet chilli pepper plant are ripe now:-

This plant is the one I bought as a “remnant” at my local Garden Centre for just 50p.

It has had the grand total of three fruits, but they are indivudually very fine specimens:-

I don’t yet know what their heat is like – that pleasure is still to come!

Meanwhile, the fruits of the two “Turkey” chilli plants out in the garage are ripening in profusion.

There must be more than a hundred fruits on each plant.

Most of the chillis are straight, but just a few have decided to curl up:-

I think I might need to make them into some chilli relish or something, since we already have loads of chillis in the fridge and freezer. Or maybe I’ll just dry them and hang them in the kitchen as ornaments.
