    They look fine. Not sure what it is but plants look healthy enough! If your really bothered see if it'll wash off. Enjoy your chili's! I harvested mine stll green (still very hot) after I tried a red one and it burnt my lip it was so hot!!  :D:p

    @koyukano, just wondering how you store your chillies ? I got a good harvest yesterday from one plant , but there are only the two of us, so l won't be using them up that quickly.

    Hi annid, I was wondering the same at first, after a bit of research freezing them seems the way to go. Just cut off the stems, chop them up and de seed if u want too (u don't have to chop them up or de seed them) and then put into air tight containers or freezer bags.

    I put them in 5 tubs for the freezer. They should last apparently about 6 months in the freezer. 

    Another option you could try would be turning some of them into a chili jam which I liked the sound of but was too busy to do this.

    Enjoy them anyway Annid  :)

    Freeze whole in bags or chop and freeze in ice cube trays then transfer to bags.

    Dry - I did this one year by passing a needle with black sewing cotton thru the neck and stretching them across empty picture frames in my kitchen window - very pretty and colourful.  Store in jars when dry.

    Heat gently in olive oil then cool, strain and store the flavoured oil in a cool dark place.

    Chili jam - lots of variants with tomatoes, sweet peppers, onions, garlic, ginger, star anise to ring the changes.   Fabulous with simple cooked chicken, sausages, pork chops, steak, goat or Cheddar style cheese......

    I have also threaded some of mine onto thread and hung them up in the kitchen to dry. They last for years that way. I froze some whole, just lay them on a baking tray in the freezer overnight then put them into a zip top plastic bag. I put some under vinegar in a jar, they have kept well stored in thr fridge.
    You can always use them to make chilli sauce or jam when there is less to do outside due to inclement weather.
