Too bad it broke! I love hot chilis! I always have jalapenos, cayenne, serranos, and good old fashioned New Mexico chilis growing. I tend to care for them more than my tomatoes because I love hot and spicy!
Even those green ones should have some nice flavor, but you're right, the heat come on when they turn red!
Very nice. I did get some red ones so will keep those. Still have 3 plants loaded with green chillis so will have a good red chilli harvest soon...
