Our chilli plants are covered in lots of red chillies. We’ve grown them in the greenhouse, where they get plenty of warmth and light, which has helped them to ripen. One of our plants was so laden with chillis that they actually broke the stem!
We’re growing two types of chilli this year, Jalapeno . . .
and Iranian Round (from the Real Seed Catalogue).
We’ve got 5 plants altogether and the chillies they have produced will keep us going all year. We freeze our chillies whole. Just pick them off the plant and put them in a polythene bag. Nothing could be simpler. They don’t stick because the skins are dry, and when we need one we just take it out and chop whilst it’s still frozen. They are one of the few vegetables (tomatoes are another one) that don’t need any preparation before you freeze them. Golden!
