Sometimes I just need to take my mind off things. And what better way to do that than making chilli sauce with a dear friend? 🌶️
A little cooking and a lot of chilli later… somehow things feel a bit lighter.
🌕 Yellow chilli sauce:
Lemon Drop or other yellow chillies, carrots, onion, garlic & oil.
❤️ Red chilli sauce:
Siberian House Pepper, UFO chilli or other red chillies, red pepper, garlic & oil.

I almost didn’t dare, but I did it: harvesting the chillies! 🌶️

It’s a small harvest because I really want to leave the chillies on the plants for as long as possible and only pick the ones that are truly ripe.

Curious to see how they’ll taste! 😊

By the way, this is Dragon Breath.

I harvested one this morning, and now I'm on my way to visit a dear friend. We'll see whether we end up trying a very small piece of it together! 😊

Little Chilli Quiz! 🌶️

Can you guess what type of chilli this is? 🤔

It's growing in my garden, and its fruit has one very distinctive feature... wrinkly red skin! 🌱

Pop your guesses in the comments. 😊

After 186 days of care, and a well-earned shower today, these chillies are looking absolutely gorgeous! 🌶️🌿

While I wasn't paying attention, my chilli plants are doing odd things! 🌶️

One fruit is green and finger-sized, but all the others are tiny and black. Any idea why they're growing so differently?

I got these seeds in a swap from a friend in Germany. The envelope was labelled “Buschpfeffer”.

I need the wisdom of the crowd on this one 😊

Could it be that chilli plants draw a lot of nutrients from the soil, meaning chillies don’t grow as well in the same spot the following year?

If chillies do deplete the soil, what would be good plants to grow there afterwards to help the soil recover?

Any tips welcome — and feel free to boost this so more experienced growers might see it 🌱
