RE: Another vegetable is ready for havest; this time it's the chili!

Those chilis are looking awesome, @valth.
I'm so in love with the shape and the colors...
Every year I consider planting them, but since we never eat them, it would be kind of a waste.

The hot weather seems to be a worldwide phenomenon. I'm like melting away here in Belgium, but my veggies are over the moon with these extreme temperatures. They are almost breaking out of the greenhouse, lol

Thanks! I have kind of the same problem since I don't use them that often for cooking. I plan on making all the leftover chilies into a powder though, so I can store them permanently until I need it.

Yeah, the heat seems to be crazy all over the world, but it's good that we vegetable growers have benefited from it. I'm sure that I would not have gotten as many chilies if they weather had been normal. It requires a huge attention to watering though, and I have to water them at least twice a day to keep them from drying up.

So they are such as spoiled brats - or even worse - as tomato plants?

It's a good idea, though, to make chili powder. Maybe I finally found a reason to give them a try next year...
