Stand by with a strong beer, as some smart alec will try eating it. Hmmm, gardener's delight and the willy chilli, it will look like something's been out in the sun for FAR too long!
I don't really 'get' garnishes, as if there's something on my plate I will try eating it. I would definitely draw the line at the capsicum annum though.
Do they actually turn red? And do they go a funny colour like most peppers in between? That looks like it should be covered up by the incredible Hulk's trousers!!
Glad they turn red- a green one doesn't seem right somehow! I think I will have to grow some of these, just to embarass my Mum when she comes across from Spain next year. I don't like raw/cooked chillis, so will see if I can find out how you pickle them (they are nice that way, as you get the taste of the chilli without the heat). That will make my sister-in-law blush when I get the pickles out next Christmas!!
Dear andyhguk, Have just looked at your website about hydroponics, can you tell me what you do with the highly nutritious water after you have grown the plants?
Very little nutrient left in the water at the end .We run the plants virtually dry before topping up, and at the very end, "dependant on plant", we only top up with water, this causes the plant to use up it's own store of nutrients and gives much cleaner tasting produce. Commercial growers cannot do this as they need to keep a high nutrient level, to ensure the produce is firm and thick skinned so it travels well, which is detrimental to taste. What little is left over works wonders on the bedding plants in the garden.
