LOL@Mrs. It's huge fun trying to gauge the strength of them as the new crop ripens isn't it?

I've been giggling over this for awhile  :)

What variety or are you just sensitive -  but seriously you have to be very careful what you do with your fingers after handling chilli of any kind (hope it won't be the last picking)

ha ha - me not silly (well not totally).

I picked it, quickly gave it to the OH to prepare, who then popped a very small slice in my mouth (THAT's the bit where i was silly  ;D).

Mine were free Pepper Cayenne from GYO mag and there are just loads of fruit formed already, just waiting for them to get bigger and ripen (today's was green just to see what it was like).

Can't wait for all the preserving in oil and other ways of storing.  Don't think we'll be running out anytime this side of next summer.

Definitely one of my success stories this season.
;D

LOL we tried some chillies a couple of days back from a batch grown that came from poundland so no idea what variety (labelled only as chillies)

Maybe I should take a pic and post to see if anyone knows the variety. Although they're still green and growing upwards.

My son was complaining for ages about his mouth, tongue and lips burning!!!
