hi folks,
I'm growing;
1. Scots Bonnet,
2. Birds eye, Capsicum fruitescens,
3. Tepin, thought by many to be the "Eve" of all chillies, its a Mexican wild chillie, hot.
4. Jalapino.
5. Cherry bomb
6. Prarie fire (didn't come up)
7. Golden wonder Bell pepper.
Grown in a heated, bubble wrap insulated 6'x8' greenhouse in N.E. England.

I didn't realise this is lavender.
Does it have a special name?

Bet these are going to enhance a great meal

They are wonderful.

This is indeed a perfect picture. This is such a subtle soft sweet rose, and its shape so perfect. How long did they last in the vase?

Well, they should go in the ground. After all, these are all descendants from those ancient trees.

These are fantastic, those Wollemi Pines. I saw them in Tasmania ( on Gardening Australia ) and they are so ancient. Did you buy one for your garden?

Looking very tasty!

We call them capsicums too. I love them. I like the photo with the leaves still on them, makes it a little bit more interesting. They look great and I bet they taste great too.

Beautiful rose.

I like your dispay Michelle. It looks professional. These indeed are soooo hot to eat! Don't forget to put fried onions ( very small diced ) in your chili sauce.

You are busy, Michelle! Well, if you know anything about our weather here, what I say now will make complete sense, lol! Day 4 (!!) of wall-to-wall very warm sunshine? I think that Frid/Sat was Spring, Sat/Sun was summer, and today (Tues 29th) was, well, "Indian Summer". Tomorrow I may wake up and find that it is a "White Christmas" !! Cheers!

I just found this again when searching for chillies. Spring is here at last - I think. It's certainly light now until 9pm, so I can see what I'm doing outdoors for longer. Have you eaten all those chillies yet?

Think this one is a hot one, perhaps you could put how hot next to it as an added extra, just a thought, but then you probably know.

Great easy identification, I shall learn about chillis looking at these., love chillis. I would grow some but it wont be long before my son grows and can toddle, and could see something getting in his eyes or mouth, Guess just thinking about when I have done this myself and how much it hurst, especially when you have contact lenses in.

'Strewth! You're growing some real beauts, aren't you, Michelle (my favourite chilli grower) Was wondering what you were doing. Now I can see - awesome selection, M8y!!

Hi beautiful colour

My Children also loved gardening when they were small. But now only time they go in2garden is when they come2ask me 2give them a lift in2town : (

He's a wee smasher, best time to get them interested in gardening when their young

Sliced thickly,lightly brushed with oil and BBQ'd (makes Homer Simpson drooling noise!!) Thanks Hamish for introducing me to that xx

Best not let my son see this pic cos hel pay you visit4those chillis loll ;)

Yummy! I grow these, too. Mine get turned into fritters or a delicious dip.

These look really great, Michelle. Can't wait for August here, now!

Got to stop looking at veggies before I have breakfast! Have a craving for chilli now ;o )

These look delicious Michelle

i love chilis.. i like to have lots of herb plants in the garden. You can just get a bunch for cooking.
I have some oregano, lemon grass, pandan and some local lemons too!

fine thanks hon, been very busy what with valentines day and mothers day soon aproaching. i don't mind pink or orange to be honest either will look good where it's planted, it is defo an 'Abraham Darby' i bought it from the David Austin web site - proberly just my eyes, either that or my screen needs a good clean lol... like a lot of things really, but if i have spare time it generally gets spent in the garden lol i am a furm believer in the saying 'only dull women have immaculate houses!' lol will post some pics tho in the summer - you just try and stop me! lol

hi Michelle i planted one of these just before christmas, it looks very pink! i thought that it was more orange/peach - or is it just my eyes? it does'nt matter as i have pink in the bed it's in as well, so either will go well, and i must say it looks stunning - i am looking forward to seeing mine in flower!

Lovely! Ground cover between or not?

Imagine the "Welcome" signal you're going to send out to people? Will be worth the work for the comments.
