As we watch the weather turn, zip up our overalls and on days like today reach for our waterproofs, there is something about harvesting chillies that gives you a welcome warm feeling inside.
Relative to a number of other vegetables that we grow in the polytunnel, chillies come to fruition a little later and their vibrant colour are a welcome sight on an autumn day when the light levels are much reduced.
We now have quite a nice selection, including Hot Lemon, Apache, Scotch Bonnet and Freshno, which provide a range of tastes and degrees of heat suitable for a number of different dishes. So far our favourite has to be the yellow scotch bonnet, which is sweet, hot and very flavoursome, followed very closely behind by the citrus yellow of the hot lemon - delicious.
