Here in my part of Australia we had a cold and wet September so it makes sense to me you got our warm and dry weather there. <br />Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09185599118466320327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-18919835313690735432016-10-01T21:15:04.476+01:002016-10-01T21:15:04.476+01:00Peppers are so pretty.

I chop mine up and freeze them to add to soups and omelettes and, of course, chili. This year I've tried my hand at making "poppers". I don't know if those have reached England but they are jalapenos halved and stuffed with a sausage/cream cheese mixture wrapped in bacon strips. I know you all have different bacon than we do over here too.<br />They make a great party appetizer and any leftovers can be chopped up and used for omelettes. I pulled all of my plants today so I have a batch of peppers waiting to be stuffed and put in the freezer for the holidays.SmartAlexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219182373225762230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-34562811951706741762016-10-01T18:27:53.474+01:002016-10-01T18:27:53.474+01:00Bren, do you mean the holes in the chillis or the ...Bren, do you mean the holes in the chillis or the "cracks"? If it's the former, I don't know what makes them - some sort of flying insect I think, because inside I find little caterpillar-like grubs. If you mean the cracks, then some cracking is normal in many types of chilli, e.g. the Jalapeno, and is considered desirable (for some strange reason!). I have not tried the Fish chilli, but I have seen photos. I suppose the name puts me off, because I do not eat any fish!Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-76856484089073865152016-10-01T15:50:28.081+01:002016-10-01T15:50:28.081+01:00Loved seeing your photos and reading this post.

The other question is, have you grown the variegated foliage Fish Pepper? Beautiful plant. Chillies are also variegated..have not had any red yet. The last photo is fantastic!<br />Gardeningbrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709940044197929905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-53537516127918643822016-10-01T13:47:39.431+01:002016-10-01T13:47:39.431+01:00What a fabulous collection of colours, shapes and ...What a fabulous collection of colours, shapes and sizes.
