Chillies and Citrus

Chillies are my very favourite things to grow (and eat ;) )


My wall of chillies in the front room.

A large red chilli (this is a mutant batch that was cross pollenated with a bell pepper last year)

Funky Chillies, just starting to turn purple.

Aurora chillies (my namesake). I adore these.

Chillies

Meyer lemons. I've got 7 large fruits, and one little ripening one. I think I'll turn them into curd

There are lots more chillies in the greenhouse, jalapenos, purple tigers and serranos. As well as my Poblanos in the kitchen. I'll add more photos when I get half a second to take some ;)

    Love the purple chilies! Are they super-hot?

    They have a heat level of 7++ according to www.chileseeds.co.uk, so bit hotter than thai chillies. 1st year growing these so will let you know :)

    They were part of a chilli seed swap with the lovely Nettie :)

    They're fab, Binty! I love the purple ones. They are proper works of art too. I'm jealous!

    Yay for chillies :o) Just glad the seed was viable.
