Just thought I would add a good way to preserve chilli peppers is to store them in olive oil. The keep for a while and also you have a hot chilli oil at the end you can use in salad dressings or your cooking.
Also my caugettes have gone bang (not literally bang!). I must have got about 20 caugettes and 4 marrows from one harvest as I had not been down for a week or 2.
Well they forcast rain for weekend so it looks like another 20 caugettes are going to be harvested next week :-\
