This is my chilli plant collection on my front veranda.
Jalapeno – a very fiery variety which can be both green or red when ripe and it has a very thick fleshy skin.
Birdseye Thai – another hot variety that has a lot of heat in a small parcel, the fruit goes from green to red as it ripens.
Salsa – An Australian bred sweet variety, the fruit is red when fully mature.
Firecracker – A chilli that has been developed specifically for growing in pots.
Habanero – One of the hottest chilli’s in the world, therefore they must be handled very carefully, the fruit is bright orange in colour.
Thai – another Australian breed, the fruit changed colour depending on maturity and weather conditions from green, cream, purple to red.
Ebony Fire – The dark coloured leaves provide a contrast with the mass of fruit that mature from deep purple/black to red.
Yukky… you can have your chilli’s….
I have a circle garden in the middle of my yard, which michael and i stripped a little bit ago.
I was thinking of a gardenia and some mondo grass.
Beautiful! I love those big blue pots, I should get myself some of those!!
