Yeah then shut it up on a night.
Cheers, been having issues with my toms not producing and i think the issue may bee the lack of bees (See whati did there) so considering trying a different approach next year, with chillis too
Cool.
Pics if you can?
Will try getting some at the weekend. Also going to get some tomato food and some sticks to prop the stalks up
Went to Newcastles farmers market today. Picked up a nice little chilli plant, just riped a ripe one off and omg it was so fruity and perfect heatness for me. Cost 4.50 which i reckon was a bit much but tbh its going to pay for itself with the nice chillis it will produce.
The bloke said it will grow about twice as big maybe 3 times so is a good windowcill plant.
This is the info.
Chilli Pepper Harlequin
Tender perennial chilli. Purple flowers. Long largish fruits ripening purple to orange. Hot to medium hot. Very attractive. A good cropper.
Comes from Garth Cottage Nursery.

Thats an impressive looking plant, the way to see it is whith all em fruits you would have probably paid more thatn £4.50 in a supermarket.
Sorry i never got back on email work was hecktic, Also thought my critisisim would go better on here.
In the long run you will get more than what you paid worth in fruit.
i wouldnt leave it too long, once you have picked it you can freeze them, however in doing so if you thaw them out they go kinda limp soggy and floopy ( OOOOOH MAITRON) so if you do i would take them out freezer cut them and use them in cooking.
Alternatively you could pickle them
The way i understand about freezing them is you need a plastic sealable bag and what you do is put your peppers in it. You then get as much air out as you can then seal it then freeze it. Prevents it from being as soggy i think.
Well strangely enough the ones i gave you were in a bag, i think its one of those things that just happen,
Did you use them ones i gewve you?
I used 1 but the other was bad so had to be chucked
Ahh well, i didnt think they would transport well after being frozen, what i may do is as soon as i buy more, chuck two in a ticktack box and send, See if that makes a dafference, im just intrested to see if sending them would be possible.
Was it hot enough for you?
Made the noodles nice and spicy.
These chillis from the new plant tho omg the first chews of em u get this really rich fruit flavour. Never had that with a chilli before. I hope to experiance more of these tastes it was so delish.
