chilipepper's Journal

Chillies look great.  Coming back from holiday can mean looking at a whole different garden.  So many jobs to catch up on.  I'm sure you've had some nice surprises to look at.  I found this week the last of the tomatoes have really ripened up with the weather we had.

Did you know if you buy cayenne pepper and shake it on the lawn dogs wont poo on it. Have'nt tried it myself but I must. Having terrible trouble with stray dogs.

The joys of coming home from holiday. Good job you had a couple of days off today and tomorrow. Hope you catch up with all the chores.

Do you have a favourite variety of chilli? Or maybe one you would recommend for a beginner to grow on the windowsill? I would love to have a go.

a fine looking crop there.what way do you preserve yours

Hi folks, there are a huge amount to try Trug, if your looking for something to fit a windowsill, the lemon chili grows to about 3ft but is quiet bushy, the scotch bonnet grows to about 2ft and is compact but really really HOT HOT!! be careful!! leave it with me and i will get back to you with an ideal type!

Hi Paul, we hang them in the kitchen on thread (much like you would hank onions) and use them as we need, still using last years crop!, you can also make chili oil with them for cooking.............
