  • I have to be honest here, that was the best one, the others were smaller but still very acceptable.

    A few of very hot chillies

    I usually freeze them but no room in the freezer, got a lot of home grown red, white, black and pink currants. Gooseberries, rhubarb, raspberries, Loganberries, blueberries and apples in there. So going to put the chillies in vinegar.

    The last of the tomatoes ( except for a few trusses of black cherry the OH will eat) going to make soup.

    That's nice, i like them fried with a bit of sunflower oil, not a lot. ;)

    I don't like cooked toms, which is bad really as I grow so many.😆 Good job OH does, so soups and sauces are good for me. This has been a bumper year with over 400 toms from 11 plants( but three were black russian with only 8  large fruits between them, wont grow again) and am looking to try new varities next year, possibly a plum variety.

    @purplerallim that's great then and that's a lot of toms. I found that the large fruiting toms don't have a lot of fruit on them.
  • Interesting to note my Sungold were the first to crop & they are the ones that are still going now. I think most of us did pretty well with Tomatoes this year.

    My Sungold were a flop but the black cherries are still doing well. Funny isn't it.

    I have harvested a dozen or so extremely hot chilli peppers (Trinidad Scorpion), but frankly I dont know what to do with them now. They are too hot and impossible to use for cooking. I shared some with three different people and all said they were too hot.

    What do you do with the very hot chillies, Logan? I really don’t want to just throw them away.

    @Big Blue Sky I put them in fried onions with garlic. I've got Trinidad scorpion, ghost chilli and Carolina Reeper. I don't put a lot in, only need a quarter or less depends how hot you want it. with 3 large red onions and 3 or 4 cloves of garlic,that's enough for 4 people. Put it on what ever you like. I put it on the main dinner.
