These are Purple Dragon:

Start off purple turn green and then red. Fairly hot small chillie, 3 bags of chillies from each plant so prolific.
These are Halapeno, ripening from green to red but no real differance in heat. They are fairly mild in my book.

Fabulous! What are you going to do with them all??
-
We eat a lot of chillies. We have this recipie once a week on average I expect.
Heat some good olive oil in a pan and add 4 to 6 cloves of crushed garlic and 4 or 6 de-seeded chopped chillies.
Gently simmer for 10 mins to infuse the oil, add some home grown oven dried tomatoes and some fresh tomatoes if you have them. A tea spoonful of tomato chutney and simmer for anoth 10 mins stiring from time to time.
Meanwhile cook some spaghetti and drain. Pour the chillie/tomato mix over the lot and sprinkle with lots of fresh parmesan cheese. Eat pronto.
Adjust the chillies to taste. Very yummy and very healthy!

Ohhhhhhhh, sounds great. I doubt I could do this using 6 of my chilies, way too hot. I have to look up if cayenne are hotter than jalapeno.
They look so perfect and pretty. Very nice picture, something for a puzzle hehehe?

A puzzle is a great idea, might just do that! The picture also makes quite a good wall paper!

Ina - usually rated the same.
Jerry - any idea why lovely smooth Jalapenos get 'cracks' in them??
We only riped 1/3 of ours in the bags. Just hope they will continue, hanging in a south facing 'house. = Tim

Not sure, as this is the first year they have suffered. Does not effect eating/taste quality and these are frozen for future use so should not be a problem.
My thoughts are they suffered some moisture stress at a critical time, probably while we were at my parents farm in August running the place while my folks took a holiday. We left the home and garden in the care of a neighbour and he is not 100% gardening reliable!

Just wondered - it annoys me to grow someting so perfect, only to have it blemished!
Yes - no affect on the eating quality. = Tim
